STABLE KILN = MORE PRODUCTION
In 2014 Unitherm delivered a combined rotary kiln burner M.A.S./5/KO.SO.X to a plant in Greece with the following technical specifications:
Plant capacity: | 3.500 tpd with 5 stage precalciner kiln |
Burner capacity: | 65MW |
Fuels: | Petcoke: 9.000 kg/h Solid secondary fuel: 5.000 kg/h Fuel oil for start up |
After several years of operation, the client is very satisfied with the results and highlights the following advantages:
- 5-6 t/h more clinker production because of more stable kiln operation (3,5 – 4%)
- The kiln has been operated with high sulphur petcoke (7,5% sulphur content) without any major problems concerning either operation or clinker quality
- Smooth and continuous coating results in longer brick lifetime
- Better control of burner flame shape
Conclusion:
- Higher production with the same fuels can be achieved through stable operation
- High sulphur petcoke can be used due to effective momentum utilization with the unique primary air system of the M.A.S. burner
- The M.A.S. system is a very powerful tool against ring formation
- Easier operation and reduced maintenance
