BRUSSELS, Belgium — Pavilion Technologies, an advanced process control (APC) and environmental compliance company, announced today the results of the first project at Dyckerhoff's Lengerich. As part of the enterprise agreement Dyckerhoff forged last year, the company will now deploy Pavilion's controls at six additional sites throughout Germany.
As a result of deploying Pavilion's controls on a kiln and finish mill, Dyckerhoff's Lengerich, Germany site has increased production by four percent and up to nine percent on the two installations respectively. In addition, the kiln operation has been significantly stabilized for the use of multiple types of alternative fuels. These results exceed those identified as part of the initial analysis.
"Pavilion's control solutions have delivered significant benefits very quickly, helping us to simultaneously increase our use of alternative fuels and maximize production," said Herbert Reckziegel, director of Technical Department of Dyckerhoff. "In addition, Pavilion's team of skilled engineers has been an excellent compliment to Dyckerhoff's culture of continuous improvement within the organization."
Like many European cement manufacturers, Dyckerhoff uses alternative fuels in their cement kiln operations. With the Lengerich project, Dyckerhoff addressed an important issue. The company successfully increased the use of alternative fuels without compromising production rate, product quality, reliability or safety.
Cement companies today are constantly challenged to meet market demand, reduce operating costs, increase use of alternative fuels and maintain environmental compliance. Pavilion's cement solutions provide process control and optimization across all key areas of the manufacturing process, enabling companies like Dyckerhoff to stabilize production and enhance quality while minimizing the effects of process upsets to maximize efficiency.
"Leaders like Dyckerhoff depend on us to help them continue to drive down costs," said Ralph Carter, CEO and president Pavilion Technologies. "Through our ValueFirst customer engagement methodology, we stand behind our commitment of customer value and are pleased to play a part in Dyckerhoff's business success."
