Water Cooling Paves Way for Garadagh Cement OJSC, Azerbaijan

Stadco Cooling one of Europe's leading suppliers of standard and bespoke industrial water cooling systems has recently exported two water cooling systems to Garadagh Cement OJSC, Azerbaijan.

These Air Blast Radiators are cooling air compressors used in cement production at its plant in Baku. Currently Garadagh Cement OJSC produces cement through four kilns, with a production capability of 1,300,000 tonnes. Construction of a new Dry Kiln No.6 project is in progress as a result of which production capability will reach up to yearly 1,800,000 tonnes.

The systems, capable of dissipating 175 kW when cooling 10.75 m³/hr water from 49°C to 35°C, in a design ambient of 30°C dry bulb were fitted with three 2.2 kW fans drawing air over aluminium finned copper tubes and three digital fan control thermostats with local isolators. The order also included two very reliable and high-performance sealed pump modules and two electrical control panels.

Stadco Cooling's flexible and dedicated cooling systems offer economic, reliable and operational advantages.

Gabil Gurbanov, Projects Manager, Garadagh Cement OJSC, said "The thoughtful design and efficiency-minded features of the water cooling systems will undoubtedly bring ultimate performance and system operation stability for our cement production."

"The key is to ensure that each system provides the right solution for the right purpose. Stadco Cooling responds to diverse requirements ensuring that efficient and effective cooling promises are fulfilled," says David Watson, General Manager, Stadco Cooling.

"This is our first order that's been exported to Azerbaijan and it's been an excellent experience and we're encouraged to pursue many more," Watson says. "Every opportunity will be explored".
