Every cement plant is a unique case, when it comes to its requirement for grinding aids and/or chemical additives. Before proposing the right chemical additive / grinding-aid, we comprehensively understand specific needs of each plant covering aspects such as: 

• Strategic and business needs

• Mineralogy, chemical, and physical properties of input materials such as clinker, gypsum, fly ash, slag etc.

• Baseline quality parameters such as compressive strengths, setting times, PSD, blaines and residues

• Process parameters and underlying process equipment etc

Subsequently, an initial hypothesis is developed and multi-component blends (grinding-aid formulations) are prepared. Extensive trials and iterations are undertaken for assessing the impact of these formulations. 

The best formulation(s) is/are tested at plant scale and validated for the impact in full scale environment. Optimizations and fine-tuning efforts are undertaken to ensure maximum value delivery at plant scale.

In a nutshell, we focus on delivering “solutions” rather than “products”.
