This study presents a dynamic simulation model for the pyro-process of clinker production in cement plants. The study aims to construct a simulation model capable of replicating the real-world dynamics of the pyro-process to facilitate research into the improvements of operation, i.e., the development of alternative strategies for reducing CO2 emissions and ensuring clinker quality, production, and lowering fuel consumption. The presented model is an index-1 differential-algebraic equation (DAE) model based on first engineering principles and modular approaches. Using a systematic approach, the model is described on a detailed level that integrates geometric aspects, thermo-physical properties, transport phenomena, stoichiometry and kinetics, mass and energy balances, and algebraic volume and energy conservations. By manually calibrating the model to a steady-state reference, we provide dynamic simulation results that match the expected reference performance and the expected dynamic behavior from the industrial practices.
