Induced Draft (ID) Fans

Howden has a long history of fans supporting the cement manufacturing process. Our centrifugal fans are engineered to meet the precise demands of each application. Our ID fans are found in:

Cement mill - moving the product into the mill during grinding
Coal mill - moving the coal into the grinder
Bag filter - moving air through bag filter for cleaning purposes
Final exhaust – moving exhaust to atmosphere
Raw mill - moving the raw input product (clay, limestones etc) into the grinder
Kiln - circulating the air from kiln and pre-heater to the bag house and then the final induction fan

Induced Draft (ID) Fans

Cooling & Exhaust Fans

Our centrifugal fans are used to draw exhaust air from the Kiln preheater as well as the clinker cooler. Our fans can also be used in the cooling process to circulate fresh air to the clinker to cool down the material.

Cryogenic Carbon Capture

Post combustion technology that virtually eliminates carbon dioxide emissions from cement manufacture. Captured carbon dioxide is purified and liquefied and available for storage and transportation. Liquid carbon dioxide is a valuable commodity that can be used in the cement making process, as well as a host of other uses, such as food processing and preservation, beverage carbonation, brewing and water treatment.

Removes 95 to 99% of carbon dioxide emissions

Easy retrofit

Suitable for new and existing plants

Modular solution scales up to all plant capacities

Amine free

Handles harmful contaminants, including NOx, SOx, and mercury, more robustly than alternative technologies
