DEVELOPMENTS IN PREHEATER

AND CALCINER

Alexander Manomoney
Need for Developments in PH – PC

 Rising Energy Cost


o Fuel
o Power
 Stringent Emission Norms
o NOx
o SOx
o Dust

o CO
 Utilization of Alternate Fuels
 Higher Capacity Kilns
Kiln Heat Balance
REDUCTION IN ENERGY COST

Lower PH exit gas losses


• Lower temperature
• Optimum O2 content
• Minimum CO content

Lower PH Fan power consumption


• Lower pr drop across PH
Emission Standards
NOx Formation
Thermal Nox
N2 (air) + O2 (air) Nox

Fuel Nox
N2 (fuel) + O2 (air) Nox

Both reactions are parallel .


Not possible to analyse independently
NOx Abatement (Primary)

2NO + 2CO N2 + 2CO2

2C + 2NO N2+CO2
Calciner as perfect sulphur scrubber

From raw materials


• in the form of sulfates and sulfite in to Kiln

From Fuel in Kiln


• S + excess free lime in to Kiln
NOx Abatement (Secondary)
Selected Non Catalytic Reeducation (SNCR)

Injection of Ammonia in Calciner

4NO + 4NH3 + O2 4N2 + 6H2O


Constraints in using alternative
Fuels in India

• Continuous supply

• Fluctuating fuels prices

Function of Preheater Cyclone

• System/equipment for the heat exchange between kiln hot


gases and kiln feed providing large gas-material contact
area (suspension)
• Utilize the heat in kiln exit gases to
Preheat kiln feed
Reduce kiln exit gas temperature
• Kiln can be short as preheating kiln feed outside kiln
• 80% heat transfer in riser duct
• Material collection in cyclone
• Degree of calcination around 50-60% in SP kiln

Function of Calciner

• Degree of calcination completed > 90%

• 60% fuel burnt in PC and 40% in kiln, kiln thermal


loading will be lower. Refractory service life is longer.

• Utilization of alternate fuels

• Meeting the requirement of Environmental Norms


CONDITIONS FOR COMPLETE
COMBUSTION IN THE CALCINER

• RAPID INITIAL IGNITION

• ADEQUATE RESIDENCE TIME

• INTENSIVE MIXING OF FUEL WITH AIR


MAIN DEVELOPMENTS IN CALCINERS

• COMPLETE COMBUSTION, EVEN OF LESS REACTIVE


FUELS (e.g. Petcoke)
• ABATEMENT OF HARMFUL EMISSIONS (e.g. Nitrogen
oxides)
• Simultaneous use of different fuels of fluctuating
composition with increasing percentage in lumps
form.
• Cost-saving, compact configuration, incorporation
into existing plants
