GOALS OF KILN AUDIT
ATC
To get a detailed view of the kiln line
performance
Evaluate exact data for heat consumption,
production,...
Basis for comparison
impact of investment or modifications carried
out
comparison to other plants
Detect weak points - Action Plan
Detect optimization potential

WHEN TO DO A KILN AUDIT
ATC
Every 3 years, a complete kiln audit is to be
completed with assistance from the TC
Once a year, a simple kiln audit should be
completed by the plant alone

BOUNDARY SELECTION
ATC
Any boundary shape can be chosen
Every stream that crosses the envelope must be taken
into account
The boundary line is chosen so that the boundary points
are:
useful for the balance goals
easily accessible for reliable measurements
