Tips For Kiln Operation

This document provides tips for optimizing kiln operation in cement production, noting that small changes to factors like free lime content, preheater exit temperature, clinker temperature, oxygen levels, and feed material properties can significantly impact heat consumption, production levels, and grinding energy requirements. Specifically, it suggests that properly managing these factors can help lower heat consumption by 10-25 kcal/kg of clinker or increase production by 1% for every 10-degree rise in flame temperature.

TIPS FOR KILN OPERATION

 Every 1 % reduction in free lime increases 10 – 25 kcal/kg clinker heat consumption.

 Every 10% increase in preheater exit temp., increases 7-10 kcal/kg clinker heat
consumption.

 Every 10% increase in clinker temperature, increases 2 kcal/kg of clinker heat


consumption.

 Every 1% increase in kiln PH exit O2% increases 7 kcal/kg of clinker heat consumption.

 Every 1% increase in residue (kiln feed) in 90 micron, increases 5-10 kcal/kg clinker heat
consumption.

 Every 0.1 increase in silica modulus, increases 10kcal/kg clinker heat consumption.

 Every 1% increase in kiln feed LSF increases 15 kcal/kg clinker heat consumption.

 Every 100 blaine increase in cement increases 1.5 kwh/MT of power consumption.

 Every 1% reduction in primary air reduces 0.7 kcal/kg clinker heat consumption.

 Every 10-degree centigrade increase in flame temperature increases 1% kiln production.

 Every 100 blaine increase in cement increases 1.5 Mpa of strength.

 Every 1% increase in fine coal moisture reduces 10 to 14-degree centigrade flame


temperature.

 Every 1% reduction in clinker-free lime, increases 4.0 % C3S in clinker.

 Every 1% increase in C3S reduces 0.3 to 0.5 kwh/MT clinker grinding energy
consumption.
