CINAR Ltd

CINAR, is active in the development of waste fuel substitution techniques for the cement and lime industries, i.e., insertion of whole tyres in precalciner, kiln back end, ASR substitution through kiln burner, which can significantly curtail kiln fuel costs and offer an alternative to tyre disposal. Waste derived fuels and their use to substitute conventional fuels is a rapidly emerging technology , capable of destroying a broad range of the by-products of industrial, agricultural and biological waste in the most economical and pollution free way. Bio-wastes have the added advantage of being carbon neutral.

For rural areas, CINAR‘s bio-electricity from local resources and for local use is another example of its research activities in the renewable energy sector. Bio-fuel derived from many sources (i.e., sawdust, agricultural waste, municipal waste, etc.) is used in both solid and gaseous forms to be burned in suspension, fluidised bed, or in internal combustion engines/gas turbine combustors. Extremely high substitution rates of the order of 80% have been achieved in various cement plants, utilising coconut shells, rice husk, sugar cane, mixed agricultural waste.
