Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Worker who operates cement production equipment using fly ash, a by-product of coal-fired power plants, as the main raw material, performing tasks from raw material blending to firing and pulverization.
Description
Fly ash cement manufacturing workers utilize fly ash obtained from coal-fired power plants to operate and manage the cement production line. First, they weigh and mix additives such as limestone and silica with fly ash, then fire them in a rotary kiln to produce clinker. Next, they finely pulverize it using a ball mill or roller crusher and add gypsum, etc., to finish the final powder. During production, they manage temperature, moisture, and mixing ratios, perform quality inspections such as particle size distribution, specific surface area, and strength tests, and ship products that meet standards. They are also responsible for dust control, inspection and maintenance of exhaust gas treatment equipment, maintaining stable operations through shift work, and safety and health management.
Future Outlook
From the perspective of reducing environmental impact, the use of fly ash is expanding, and demand in the cement manufacturing sector is expected to be maintained to a certain extent in the medium to long term. On the other hand, the supply of raw materials may fluctuate due to the reduction in operations of coal-fired power plants.
