SODERN CNA-CEMENT

Real time process
control for the
cement industry
The Sodern CNA-Cement is the fourth generation of the
world’s most advanced on-line elemental analyzer, based
on the PFTNA (Pulsed Fast and Thermal Neutron Activation)
technology. Cement plants will benefit from making the
most efficient use of the quarry, optimized stockpile quality,
and real time control of additives to the raw mix resulting
in lower additive usage and improved quality of the raw
mill output. In addition, cement plants can realize savings
associated with lower laboratory testing and labor costs,
tailoring the raw feed for grindability to reduce electricity
consumption, and providing the optimal chemistry to the kiln
to reduce fuel costs and extend refractory life.

Advantages of Sodern CNA-Cement
Unique and proven PFTNA technology – for raw mix and
stockpile optimization
Uptime
•t Unmatched analytical stability delivered by constant
neutron flux from generator eliminates expensive and
inconvenient periodic on-site calibration
•t Modular design minimizes downtime during
installation
Ultimate safety – Unlike radioactive isotope based
units which always emit neutrons, the Sodern CNA’s
tube type neutron source can be switched off during
non-operation, routine maintenance or emergency and
enables installation of a unique Automated Radiation
Protection System (ARPS).
Flexibility in software solutions – Full compatibility with
industry standards (FLS, Polysius, PSCL ABB, etc.)
Global support and expertise
