The design project of Chemical Engineering focus on solving the problem related to a chemical or process industry. The aim of the research paper is to establish study on gaseous emission in cement industry of Sultanate of Oman. The study was concentrated on testing numerous options that may help in dropping the amount of emission from cement plants especially carbon dioxide emission. As per the investigation the suggested technology was CO2 capture and it was effective in terms of cost and maintain the production amount. According to energy and mass balance of the plant it has been found that 8700 tons/day of clinker produces and 5206.08 tons /day of CO2 was generated. The analysis includes the design aspect for cyclone separator that has an efficiency of 42.7%.In addition, according to the feasibility study of this study it has been noticed that FCI of making plant produce 3.17 million ton/year was 4.2 million OMR. Moreover, according to the present investigation it has been identified that the solution for minimizing the emission couldn’t depend not only in method of production but also some alternative substitution for the parameters, raw material and process equipment used for production of cement.
