Oxygen enrichment is a flexible, efficient, and cost-effective technology that can help improve your profitability. With minimal capital investment, you can increase clinker production, lower your fuel costs, decrease emissions, and improve kiln operation.

The technology is applicable to all types of kilns (wet, long dry, preheater, and precalciner). For over 10 years, Air Products has been helping customers realize the many benefits of oxygen enrichment. Low installation costs of oxygen systems make them an attractive alternative to expensive capacity additions or debottlenecking measures. Today, the economics are more attractive than ever.

• Increase clinker production by 5 to 30%
• Increase use of alternative fuels by 30 to 80%
• Reduce emissions
• Improve kiln stability
• Reduce specific fuel consumption
• Attain more consistent clinker quality

All of these add up to increased profits—in some cases as much as $3 million per year.
