GRUNDFOS AN OVERVIEW
With an annual production of more than 16 million pump
units Grundfos is one of the world's leading pump
manufacturers. Circulator pumps (UP), submersible pumps
(SP) and centrifugal pumps (CR) are the three major product
groups. Today, Grundfos is the world's largest manufacturer
of circulator pumps, covering approximately 50 per cent of
the world market for these pumps.
In order to maintain a leading position, Grundfos attaches
great importance to Research & Development. There is
constant focus on expanding the company's existing
business areas and improving the products. Improving
energy efficiency of future products is one of the highest
current priorities.
Grundfos prioritises its environmental effort in relation to
customers, authorities and suppliers. Over the years,
Grundfos has pioneered numerous innovations that have
become or are becoming industry standards. Grundfos will
continue to be at the forefront in promoting and facilitating
energy efficiency and sustainable technology. Our
innovations will enable water supply infrastructure to meet
future challenges and regulations.
We contribute actively to solving the global environment
problems in new target areas, such as our focus on
alternative disposal of sludge for heat generation in cement
production. Efficient, reliable and ideally suited, the
Grundfos range of pumps offers an optimum pump solution
for every conceivable cement application as it represents
state of the art technology and robustness inside out.
Key benefits include:
> Reduced energy consumption
> Reliable pump solutions
> Trouble-free operations

THE ROLE OF GRUNDFOS IN CEMENT MAKING

PROCESSES THAT REQUIRE WATER

1. Plant water intake pumps - If it is from

mines, our dewatering pumps (DWK/DW)
can be of use; SP pumps can be used in case of
bore wells and VT/NK/LF pumps can be used if
water is from a river.

2. The raw water sourced needs treatment for

which filter feed pumps are used. Our
NB/NK/CM pumps can be used here.
3. The treated raw water is then used for dust
suppression at raw material yards / coal
yards; though generally treated effluent is
used in most of the cases, our CR/CM/NB/NK
pumps and hydros can be of use here.

4. WTP: Further treatment of water is done to

produce DM water which is used for boiler
feed. For the entire package of converting
ra w w a t e r i nt o RO / DM w a t e r, C M
/CR/CRI/CRN pumps are used.

5. Cooling at CPP (Captive Power Plant): Our

CT pumps (NB/NK or our hydros) will supply
cold water to indirectly cool turbines and
alternators. For boiler feed applications, we
have pumps from our BFX range.

6. Condensate extraction process: After

driving the turbine, the steam is condensed
and pumped back into the boiler feed tank.
Our CRN pumps can be considered for this
application.

7. Process cooling:
- Water spray into raw mill and coal mill through high pressure
pumps (CR/CM)
- Water spray into exhaust gas from kiln before passing through the
Electro Static Precipitator - ESP (CR/CM)
- Cooling of bearings of raw mills, cement mills and coal mills -
bearings of mill bed and crushers (CR/CM)
- Cooling of water cooled compressors used in the process
(CR/CM/NB)

8. Cooling Tower pumps on the process side:

The hot water returning from the plant gets
collected in the hot water tank, and pumped
into the CT to remove heat. Our NB/NK/LF
pumps can be of use.

9. The dust suppression systems use high

pressure pumps (CR/CM/NB) to pump water
in the form of mist to suppress dust
emanating at the time of unloading of raw
material / coal, etc.

CASE STUDY
Chettinad Cement, Ariyalur has been using Grundfos make NK pumps for supply of cooling water to CPP as
well as plant machineries.
CR 64 series pumps running at Shree Cements, Beawar for Condensate extraction at CPP are not only
functioning smoothly, but also save enormous power.
Jaypee Sidhi Cement Plant, Madhya Pradesh has been supplied with DWKE / 90 kw pumps for dewatering
from open cast mines.

CLIENT TALK
We have tested the Grundfos CRN pump for sometime now,
and we are very impressed with its superior reliability and
low energy consumption. We have learnt our lesson - and in
future we will always look at the cost of owning a pump
rather than the cost of buying a pump. Mr. Grzegorz Baliga
