Cyclone

The inspection report summarizes issues found with several preheater cyclones and proposed actions. Stage 4 East and West cyclones were missing bricks and castables, damaging metal bodies and reducing efficiency. Stage 3's castable around the diptube was worn, risking damage. Stage 2 West and East also had worn diptube castables. Stage 1 South had inleaks, a damaged diptube, and metal rod, reducing efficiency and risking blockage. Stage 1 North's diptube was damaged. Repairs like brick replacement and castable application were recommended.

Note: Pictures were not taken because the cyclones were dusty.

Cyclon
e

Problem

Impact

Stage 4 East

1. Missing bricks at cone


bottom
2. Missing castable at the
intersection of cone
and feed pipe
3. Damaged diptube

Causes the cyclone


metal body to be
damaged due to
high temperatures
Increased heat loss
from the walls
Reduced cyclone
collecting efficiency

Stage 4 West

Stage 3

Missing bricks at the cone


(south side just below
small circular door)
Damaged dip tube

Worn out castable around


the diptube

Causes the cyclone


metal body to be
damaged due to
high temperatures
Increased heat loss
loss from the walls
Reduced cyclone
collecting efficiency
Causes the cyclone
metal roof top to be
damaged due to
high temperatures

When

1. Lay refractory
bricks around
the cone bottom
2. Cast the
intersection of
the cone and
feed pipe
