Popis: Cement industry is an industry that intensively uses energy in the process. One of the main units in a cement plant that consumes the most energy is the rotary kiln. Rotary kiln is used for calcination process of cement raw material into clinker. It operates at 900-1450°C. It obtains energy from coal combustion process. Energy conservation in rotary kiln can be used to optimize production costs. Energy conservation can be carried out through energy identification. One method of energy identification is through energy and exergy analysis. In this study, energy and exergy analysis was carried out at the rotary kiln unit of RKC-2 PT. Semen Gresik - Tuban Plant. The analysis was carried out based on the calculation of the mass balance, energy balance, enthalpy balance, entropy balance and exergy balance. These calculations are used to obtain energy efficiency, exergy efficiency and irreversibility. Based on the research results, the energy efficiency, exergy efficiency, and irreversibility were 69,2%; 50,48% and 49,52% respectively.
