This Book is about Designing new large cement plants that would promote Sustainable Growth, preserve natural resources to the maximum possible extent and make least possible additions to the Greenhouse Gases that cause global warming. These are the Green Cement Plants.
Process of making cement involves `calcination` of limestone- that is release of Carbon Dioxide the principal greenhouse gas. In ordinary portland cement, OPC, ratio of cement to clinker is 1.05. Every ton of cement produced releases 0.8 ton of Co2. By increasing the cement/clinker ratio that is by making `blended cements` this emission can be reduced to 0.53 to 0.30 tons per ton of cement depending on the type of blended cements viz. PPC, BFSC or composite cements made.
Combustion of fuel - needed to make clinker also releases CO2 ( quantum included in values mentioned above )Reduced sp. fuel consumption thus reduces ghg emissions. Substitution of fossil fuels by waste -alternate fuels some of which are `carbon neutral` thus saves exhaustible fossil fuels and also lowers ghg emissions.
Presently a lot of heat is wasted thru kiln and cooler exhaust gases even after they are used to dry raw materials and coal. If the heat therein is recovered to generate power, a dual advantage accrues in that fossil fuel is saved and ghg emissions are lowered.
World is paying urgent attention to harnessing inexhaustible and renewable sources of energy like wind and sun. Both Solar and wind power are renewable and ghg emissions are practically nil. New cement plants should therefore be designed to use renewable energy to the extent possible depending on the present day status of cost and production factors.
There are other ways of reducing CO2 emissions like capturing the emitted gas and either storing it for other uses or for making new cements like Calera. New green cement plants should also examine possibilities of developing cement substitutes like Calera, Caliix, Novacem, Aether and Geopolymer cements etc. that are `green cements`.
The concept of saving energy and saving materials by recycling are also applied to construction of cement plants by constructing green buildings, to mining operations and so on.
All these aspects and activities add up to making `Green Cement`. They have been dealt with in the book. Large new cement plants should be designed to incorporate all these aspects. Cement making machinery to be selected and cement plant layouts to be developed should also contribute to this concept of `green cement`.
This book like its predecessor `Handbook for Designing Cement Plants would be a useful tool in the hands of Cement Engineers, Cement Technologists and Cement Consultants to achieve the objective of the day viz sustainable growth thru Green Cement

About the Author
Mr. Deolalkar is a first class graduate in Mech. and Elect. Engineering. He is also a Graduate of the British Institute of Management.
He joined The Associated Cement Companies Ltd., in1956 and has been associated with the cement industry ever since, a long innings of over 50 years.
He has had first hand working experience in cement plants “in operation, in erection and in commissioning of new plants.
Mr. Deolalkar later worked with ACC-Vickers-Babcock Ltd., a subsidiary of ACC engaged in manufacture of Babcock Boilers and in making Cement Machinery.
Mr. Deolalkar has thus been associated with design and setting up new cement plants and expansions of existing ones for a quarter of a century- plants ranging in capacity from 300 tpd, to 3000 tpd. He has been witness to the great strides made by the cement industry in India . The first indigenously designed 3000 tpd cement plant containing 5 stage preheater and fluid bed calciner, vertical mills for raw materials and coal, esps for coal mill and clinker cooler-and advanced computer controlled operation was designed under his leadership
Since 1986, Mr. Deolalkar has been working as a consultant- first as a Chief Executive of Bhagwati Priya Consulting Engineers Ltd., and later for Deolalkar Consultants a proprietary consultancy company in Hyderabad.
During his career Mr. Deolalkar has handled almost all aspects of the design of cement plants
He has been a pioneer in computerising process , project engineering and machinery design calculations relating to cement making and cement plants.
Mr. Deolalkar was associated with a number of Institutions related to Cement Industry at the National Level like Bureau of Indian Standards (earlier known as ISI), National Committee for Science and Technology and National Council for Cement and Building Materials. He was a member of the Research Advisory Committee of the NCCBM and was also a Member of its Faculty. Mr. Deolalkar served as Secretary of the Cement Machinery Manufacturers` Association in the early 1980s. He has written a number of papers in national and international publications on cement.
In 2008 he wrote his first book `Handbook for Designing Cement Plants`. It was well received by the Cement Industry.
His second book, `Nomograms for Design and Operation of Cement Plants` is a sequel to his first book and is complementary to it. ISBN 9788178003023
