Average Specific Power Cost


Cost/MWh

P-Plant

Total power expenses for cement in bin manufacturing divided by the corresponding quantity of MWh
consumed during a given period.
For plants with several main substations with distinct contracts, this definition applies separately to each
main substation for the shops serviced (Example: Quarry with a dedicated substation). For plants
generating their own power, resources used to produce this power should only appear once: - Either in the
cost of MWh, but only if the resources used are completely known. In this case not only expenses but also
related resources (hours, population, MJ, etc...) will be charged to MWh and not to clinker or cement. - Or in
Fuel, labor, etc...for the production or clinker or cement. In such a case, the expense for this production of
MWh is nil.
= Power expenses/Power consumed In both cases, the average cost of MWh used is calculated as :
(Expense of MWh production+Purchase of MWh-Sale of MWh) / MWh used (CE008X divided by CR056X)

2-Raw mix preparation

Delivered cost of one tonne of alternative raw materials (non natural) used as a raw mix component. It can be
negative if its use generates a revenue.

Alternative raw materials (ARM) are wastes or by-products of other industries used by the cement plant as a raw
material component. The objective typically is to provide one or more major chemical components (CaO, SiO2,
Al2O3, Fe2O3) to the raw mix and thus substituting, partly or totally, quarried raw materials. ARM may
sometimes be used to provide a process improvement (e.g. energy contribution, burnability, emission reduction,
quality improvement), by modifying a characteristic of the raw mix such as the chemical composition of its minor
elements (e.g. fluorine, sulphur, alkali).
The cost can be positive (i.e. purchased) or negative (i.e. gate fee received), generating a revenue.
The ARM is chemical transformed to become part of the clinker matrix. It may be introduced at any point in the
raw mix preparation circuit or kiln.
Alternative material added to the raw mix preparation or pyro-process (kiln) line, prior to the discharge of the
rotary kiln, is classified as an ARM. Any alternative material (e.g. slag, fly-ash, etc) introduced after the clinker
cooler discharge is considered a cementitious additive. By exception, granted by the TC, any alternative material
added to the clinker cooler can be classified as an ARM, if the material is transformed into clinker (integrated into
the matrix).
If an ARM has significant carbon content (fuel value), the quantity consumed and its cost are still reported as
ARM, under the appropriate category. In addition, its energy contribution to the kiln system is reported as
alternative fuel, under the category Energetic ARM (CR120X ).
All materials classified as ARM, according to the above definition, are considered in the calculation of the raw
mix/clinker ratio.
This indicator is calculated as a weighted average of the ARM tonnages and ARM cost/ton:
AR617X = (AR656X i * CR209X i + AR656X i+1 * CR209X i+1)/(CR209X i + CR209X i+1 ) i, i+1, ...

Cost of reference fuel


Cost ref fuel

6-Fuel preparationt

In order to enable the calcul of the alternative fuels (AF) gross savings (PR086X), each plant must define a
reference fuel cost (in "as received" basis). This reference fuel cost is defined as the fuel mix cost if no AF had
been used: it is the weighted average of the fossil fuels cost and the respective percentage that is replaced by
AF.
Its definition will enable the calculation of the alternative fuels gross savings (indicator PR086X) according to the
methodology (Cost ref fuel (AR749X) - cost fuel mix (AR607X))* Tons KK (PA021X)* CC (CR008X)). The plant
has the responsibility to calculate the reference fuel cost and to report it correctly. It is recommended that its
calculation be consistent from one year to another; it should be the closest reflexion of the actual situation.
Find below some examples that can help you to understand how to calculate this cost.
Plant A
Fuel mix: 30% coke; 25% coal; 1% used oil; 5% solvents; 19% tyres; 15% MBM; 5% biomass
Case 1: assuming that used oils replace fuel oil and that the other AF used replace both petcoke and coal.
The reference fuel cost will be a weighted average of the respective of fuel oil, coal and coke and its percentage if
no AF had been used.
Ref fuel cost 1 = 49,5% coal * cost coal + 49,5% coke * cost coke + 1% fuel oil * cost fuel oil
Case 2: assuming that used oils replace fuel oil and that the other AF replace coal. The reference fuel cost will be
a weighted
average of the respective costs of fuel oil, coke and coal and its percentage if no AF had been used.
Ref fuel cost 2 = 1% fuel oil* cost fuel oil + 30% coke * cost coke + 69% coal * cost coal
Case 3: assuming that AF replace only petcoke. The reference fuel cost will be a weighted average of the
respective costs
of coal and petcoke and its percentage if no AF had been used.
Ref fuel cost 3 = 25% coal * cost coal + 75% petcoke * cost petcoke

Reference raw mix cost


2-Raw mix preparation
The reference raw mix cost (AR750X) is the cost of the raw mix if no ARM had been used, expressed in LMU/ton
raw mix. If the plant is not using ARM, the reference raw mix cost is equivalent to the indicator RM001X (average
unitary technical cost/t raw materials). The calculation of the reference raw mix cost will be guided through the
Raw Materials Indicators tool in the CKHC 2006 Reporting package. Its calculation will be based in the same
principles as RM001X ones.
The plants have the responsibility to calculate this cost and to report it correctly. It is recommended that its
calculation be consistent from one year to another; it should be the closest reflexion of the actual situation. This
means it is important that the reference raw mix component costs shall be updated every year to reflect the
current raw mix component costs. For example, limestone cost being a major driver for the raw mix cost, in a 1
MT/yr plant using 1.4 MT limestone, a difference of 0.50$/T for the limestone component in the reference mix
compared to the current raw mix will generate a false ARM-GS of $700,000.
The reference mix shall be composed of traditional, available raw materials which would allow the production of a
clinker quality equivalent to that of the current raw mix. ARM can be included in the reference mix, under the
condition that the ARM has been traditionally used by the plant and a secured, long-term supply exists. A longterm supply can be secured via long-term contracts or by the market availability of multiple suppliers. If an ARM
included in the reference mix bears a revenue, this one should be accounted as zero.
However, please note that for proper reporting any ARM used by the plant shall be included in the ARM tonnage
and % ARM calculations, even if included in the reference mix.
For example, ferrous or iron oxide components (pyrite cinders, mill scale) may be included in the reference mix
but are also considered ARM. If, for example, low cost, ("dirty" or "contaminated") mill scale is used, then the
price of mill scale in the reference mix should reflect the market cost for "clean", easy to handle material. Fly ash
may be another traditional ARM included in the reference mix.
In some cases, high-cost slag is used with the objective of increasing clinker production rates rather than raw mix
cost reduction. The cost of the slag will create a negative contribution to the gross savings. In this particular case,
this part of the contribution should be put to zero. One way is to over-write the slag cost to equal the raw mix cost
without slag, thus rendering the slag as having no impact on the current raw mix cost.
If a plant produces more than one type of clinker, the chemistry of the reference mix should be representative of a
weighted average

Liquids containing solvents (LCS) are generally based on spent co-products of petrochemical refinery that were
originally commercialized due to their capacity to dissolve or extract impurities from chemical substances. After its
initial application, such liquids get collected for regeneration and reuse. LCS represents the residues from these
second and third life cycles of fresh solvents. Main users are paint industry, chemical & pharmaceutical industry,
adhesives or rubber manufacturers, metalworking and cleaning services.
The common names used for this kind of waste are: Refused or Recycled Liquid Fuel (RLF); Fuel Quality Waste
(FQW), Combustibles Liquides de Substitution (CLS); G3000 (Lafarge Ciments).

Def. Energetic ARM
Includes ARM whose calorific value is lower than 12 GJ/T.
If the heat value is higher than 12GJ/t, it is not an energetic ARM, and it has to be reported under an Alternative

Otherwise, this category regroups the alternative raw materials (ARM) whose calorific value contributes to the
plant's alternative fuels substitution. Consequently, its heat value should be included in the specific heat
consumption of the kiln (indicator CR005X).
Alternative fuels included in this category must contribute significantly to the raw mix through their ash content
(e.g. sludge with 75% water content do not enter in this category).
The quantity and the gate fees should be reported in the ARM reporting.
The objective is to report only the impact of this category on the energy used by the kiln. Therefore, only the
calorific value (%) will be reported. The quantity and the gate fees will be reported in the ARM reporting to avoid
double counting. The cost of the energy brought by this ARM will be considered automatically as 0 in the AF

Alternative raw materials (ARM) are wastes or by-products of other industries used by the cement plant as a raw
material component. The objective typically is to provide one or more major chemical components (CaO, SiO2,
Al2O3, Fe2O3) to the raw mix and thus substituting, partly or totally, for quarried raw materials. ARM may
sometimes be used to provide a process improvement (e.g. energy contribution, burnability, emission reduction,
quality improvement), by modifying a characteristic of the raw mix such as the chemical composition of its minor
elements (e.g. fluorine, sulphur, alkali).
The cost can be positive (i.e. purchased) or negative (i.e. gate fee received), generating a revenue.
The ARM is chemical transformed to become part of the clinker matrix. It may be introduced at any point in the
raw mix preparation circuit or kiln. By the Lafarge definition raw material added downstream of the kiln outlet, (i.e.
beginning of the clinker cooler) is classified as a cementitious additive and not ARM. It may recognized by the
quality norms or clinker extender patents that some ARM (e.g. slag, fly-ash) introduced in the clinker cooler may
be integrated into the clinker matrix. However, for Lafarge CKHC reporting, these materials introduced
downstream of the rotary kiln exit are not classified as ARM.
If an ARM has significant carbon content (fuel value), the quantity consumed and its cost are still reported as
ARM, under the appropriate category. In addition, its energy contribution to the kiln system is reported as
alternative fuel, under the category Energetic ARM (CR120X ).
All materials classified as ARM, according to the above definition, are considered in the calculation of the raw
mix/clinker ratio.

Alternative raw materials (ARM) are wastes or by-products of other industries used by the cement plant as a raw
material component. The objective typically is to provide one or more major chemical components (CaO, SiO2,

The cost can be positive (i.e. purchased) or negative (i.e. gate fee received), generating a revenue.
The ARM is chemical transformed to become part of the clinker matrix. It may be introduced at any point in the
raw mix preparation circuit or kiln.
Alternative material added to the raw mix preparation or pyro-process (kiln) line, prior to the discharge of the
rotary kiln, is classified as an ARM. Any alternative material (e.g. slag, fly-ash, etc) introduced after the clinker
cooler discharge is considered a cementitious additive. By exception, granted by the TC, any alternative material
added to the clinker cooler can be classified as an ARM, if the material is transformed into clinker (integrated into
the matrix).
If an ARM has significant carbon content (fuel value), the quantity consumed and its cost are still reported as
ARM, under the appropriate category. In addition, its energy contribution to the kiln system is reported as
alternative fuel, under the category Energetic ARM (CR120X ).
All materials classified as ARM, according to the above definition, are considered in the calculation of the raw
mix/clinker ratio.
This indicator is the quantity consumed of a specific category of ARM (classification according to indicator

Categories of Alternative Raw Materials
ARM category

2-Raw mix preparation

This indicator is a description of the alternative raw materials (ARM) categories defined by the Resource
Recovery Department (DPC) and validated by the BRS Validation Committee.
To fulfill the ANNUAL report, the cement plants must classify each ARM used at the plant under one of the
defined categories. It is mandatory to associate to each ARM category used at the plant, the quantity consumed
(CR209X) and the cost/ton (AR656X) The addition of the quantities of each ARM category consumed equals the
indicator CR160X.
The official ARM categories are:
Alumina sludge: Alumina rich sludges (Water > 30%; Al2O3 > 30% dry basis), including sludges of alumina
hydroxide, stainless steel, ceramic, iron hydroxide, incinerator. Red & brown mud have a dedicated category.
Sludge Other: All other sludges (Water > 30%), including sludges of silanes, iron hydroxide, CaF (calcium
fluoride), ceramic, water treatment. Whenever possible, filter cake material approaching 30% water should be
classified in the most appropriate category below. Waste clay should be classified in "Alumina other".
Power plant ash: Includes bottom ash, flyash (wet or dry) from coal fired power generating facilities. It does not
include cementitious additives. It may include tonnages reported under CR107X and CR139X indicators.
Ash other: Includes paper ash, incinerator ash, pulp and paper ash. It does not include pyrite ash, classified under
pyrite cinders category. It does not include cementitious additives. It may include tonnages reported under
CR107X and CR139X indicators.
Slag - all types: All slags resulting from metal (ferrous, non-ferrous) refining. Includes iron, steel, convertor, blast
furnace, granulated, pelletized, ground, zinc, copper materials. It does not include cementitious additives. It does

41/95

include tonnages reported under CR106X and CR140X indicators.


Alumina catalyst: Includes FCC (fluidized cracking catalyst), iron catalyst with high alumina content (Al2O3>30%)
but does not include iron catalysts with low alumina content (classified as "iron other").
Alumina brick: Includes alumina rich construction bricks, refractories, ceramics, tiles. SPL 2nd cut is classified
under alumina process waste category.
Alumina process waste: Includes oxiton, Al dross, SPL 2nd cut. It does not include red mud nor brown mud.
Alumina other: All other alumina rich (Al2O3 > 30%). Includes waste clay, oil shale residue.
Mill scale, pyrite cinders: Includes iron oxide, roasted pyrite, pyrite ash/cinders.
Red mud: It includes brown mud but not include other alumina process wastes.
Iron other: All other iron wastes (Fe2O3 > 40%). Includes iron cake, steel dross, iron catalyst, iron fines, BOF
dust, jarosite, geoethite.
Calcium, lime & other: Includes dry CaF, waste limestone, lime dust, gypsum but does not include ceramics nor
sludges (Sludges have dedicated categories).
Foundry sand: By-product of the metal casting industry. Includes casting cores.
Sand blast: Includes abrasives, surface metal treatment.

EFRB

3-Burning

For a given kiln, during a given period:


Sum of stoppage hours caused by Equipment failure * 100 divided by (Effective operating time + Sum of Hours of
shutdowns on incidents)
For this indicator the "upstream concept" applies
1 - EFRB and PFRB (Process failure rate burning line) are related to Burning
Line Reliability Factor as follows: RF (Kiln) = 100 - EFRB - PFRB
2 - EFRB measures the technological status of burning line through equipment incidents. It indicates if specific
maintenance actions are necessary to improve overall reliability and actions from the past have been successful.
3 - There are 4 main impacts:
Loss of clinker production : especially for sold out plants this has an important economical impact
Each stoppage (short or long) causes quality fluctuation
Start up after a long stoppage has a significant cost
During stoppage and start up phases equipment are stressed, suffered cumulative fatigue that could lead to
major failure.

Stoppage: An incident is counted as stoppage of the burning line if the kiln feed is stopped.
Kiln Line: According to Lafarge Codification, the kiln line includes all equipment of burning line i, code 3i.
The upstream concept requires that stoppages by equipment incidents of the raw mill, which result in a stoppage
of the burning line, have to be included.

Free Lime

3-Burning

s'(Free Lime) divided by (0,2 * Mean (Free Lime) +0,1) during a given period.
The free lime uniformity index is the main indicator to characterise the stability of the burning conditions.
We assume, that under very stable burning conditions the SD of the free lime is not more than 20% of the
absolute value (Coefficient of Variation < 20 %) - in this case a kiln is class A. The term "+0.1" in the
calculation stands for the accuracy of the free lime analysis. Otherwise we would calculate completely
meaningless values for very low absolute free lime figures. Of course this figure is more meaningfull, if the
free-lime is a good measure of the burning conditions (what is not the case for some of our kilns - mainly
some of our long kilns). Therefore, this indicator has to be seen in connection with the absolute amount of
the free lime.

Alternative fuels gross savings


AF gross savings

0-Not Specific

The alternative fuels gross saving is the economy made by a cement plant with the replacement of fossil fuels by
alternative fuels.
Alternative fuels are non fossil fuels which replace the fossil fuels (coal, petcoke, oil, HVF, gas) in the cement
production process. The Alternative Fuels glossary is included in the Excel file attached below.
The gross savings are calculated taking into account the difference between the cost of the reference fuel
(AR749X) and the cost of the fuel mix (AR607X), multiplied by the total heat consumption (CR008X) and the
clinker production ( PA021X).
Cost reference fuel = 1,95 LMU/GJ
Cost fuel mix = 1,10 LMU/GJ
Heat consumption = 3962 MJ/t KK
Clinker production = 737 000 t
AF GS = (1,95 - 1,10) * (737 000*3 962)/1 000 000 = 2 482 kLMU

Process Failure Rate Burning Line (by kiln, all products)


PFRB

3-Burning

For a given kiln during a given period:


Sum of stoppage hours caused by Process failure * 100 divided by (Effective operating time + Sum of Hours of
shutdowns on incidents)
For this indicator the "upstream concept" applies
The burning line reliability is linked with the PFRB and the EFRB (Equipment failure rate Burning Line) as follows:
RF(kiln) = 100 - PFRB - EFRB
Explanation: A poorly mastered process very often causes stoppages of the kiln line. This indicator allows
measurement of the influence of the process on the overall reliability of a kiln line and is a basis for corrective
actions. Over time it also shows the success of previous corrective actions.
There are three main economic impacts for this indicator:
1) Loss of clinker production has an important economic impact especially for sold out plants
2) Each stoppage reduces the refractory life, stresses all mechanical equipment and increases heat consumption
because of heating up the system.
Even if these influences are not so easy to measure, they have an important economic impact.
3) Each stoppage causes quality fluctuations

P-Plant

The IQP measures the percentage of time results for up to 5 quality parameters selected for each product

The IQP (Indicateur Qualit Produit or Product Quality Indicator) is an indicator of product quality, as agreed
between marketing & sales and manufacturing staff, based on customer requirements for all product(s) produced
at a plant.

The indicator measures the percentage of time results for up to 5 quality parameters selected for each product
produced by the plant, are at or within set upper and/ or lower limit(s).
Parameters selected should reflect the performance characteristics desired by the main customers using each
product e.g. cement physical, chemical or paste, mortar, micro-concrete or concrete test results. The upper and/or
lower limit(s) for all parameters of each product are jointly set by manufacturing & marketing personnel based on
market requirements and plant capabilities. The limit(s) are set, such that an IQP of 100 should result in zero
customer complaints attributed to cement quality.
For reporting purposes, the IQP will be a single number calculated for each plant based on results obtained
during a calendar year.

Lab Accuracy Index


LAI

P-Plant

84/95

The LAI measures the accuracy of chemical and physical tests performed in the plant's laboratories,
The LAI is based on the results of the Lafarge interlab test (IU) that is performed on a yearly basis. The
participation to the interlab is mandatory. The indicator is calculated for each plant by the Technical
Centres. The results are communicated plant by plant, before the end of each year. The plants are then
responsible for feeding the indicator into the CKHC data base.
In the preparation phase, a common cement type (pure OPC) is agreed upon by TC's as the basis for the IU.
LCR is in charge of the preparation. The first step of the process is to define, at the level of the TC's, which
physical and chemical parameter should be measured by each plant, depending on the local standards and
specific requirements. Between 18 and 24 parameters are chosen. The second step is to perform the
measurements at plant level, on the IU sample which has been sent by LCR. The third step is to feed the results
into the LAI database, for which an access right is needed. Results have previously to be validated by each lab
manager. The fourth step is the statistical analysis of the results (TC's+LCR+DPC). It allows to calculate the
target value for each parameter In the last step, the tolerance range is applied to each measured value.
The number of parameters that fall at a distance to the target lower than the tolerance is divided by the total
number of parameters measured, which gives the LAI (0-100%). This indicator is consolidated at BU level by
taking cement production into account. The indicator is to be taken into account when elaborating the PIP's. The
following performance classes have been defined : 100 % > LAI > 85 % => A 85 % > LAI > 75 % => B 75 % >
LAI > 65 % => C 65 % > LAI > 55% => D 55 % > LAI => E The target for all plants is a sustainable A class.

Lost Time Injury(ies) (LTI):
If there is a clear relationship between an accident and Lost Time whenever this occurs, then this is a LTI.
- If a person works normally for some time after an accident and there is no clear relationship between the
(alleged) accident and the lost time, it may be presumed that this was not a LTI.
- Thus, an accident would be a LTI where a shift operator suffered a burn but worked normally until the onset of
septicemia ten days later, then goes off work for 5 shifts; this is counted as a 5 day LTI.
- However, an accident involving a back strain where a person worked normally for several weeks without
reporting it or comment and then lost time due to this alleged back strain, is should not be counted as LTI.
Excluded are injuries due to criminal acts, and injuries due to natural causes.
