Feeding systems FUEL-Mastersolutions for alternative fuels The goal: Reduce the operation costs in cement kilns by substituting of: More expensive primary fuels (Coal, Oil, Gas) for alternative low cost fuel. ... Giving the less impact on: • Clinker quality • Production capacity • stability of kiln • and atmosfericemisions.
Feeding systems FUEL-Mastersolutions for alternative fuels Design requirements for fuel systems: • They must feed a wide range of materials. • Hi accuracy and high feeding constancy. • High reliability and high availability. • Capacity of manage very big sizes of material. • Easy integration on existing installations. • Easy maintenance • Cheap return cost
Feeding systems FUEL-Mastersolutions for alternative fuels 3 golden rulesfor design of alternative fuels plants: • Specifying robust equipment despite low density! Ensure high availability of systems. • Avoid bottleneck - Alternative fuels tries to create bridges. Avoid dead times for plugging. • Design a wide range of densities and flow properties. Makes sure high flexibility using several materials.

Fuel Combustion • Gaseous • Nozzle design is based on flow and pressure. Typically multiple holes • Liquid • Atomization required for efficient combustion • Pressure atomization requires up to about 40 barg (600 psig) • Air and steam also used for atomization, typically at about 6-8 barg (90-120 psig) • Solid • Grind coal or coke to about 90% through 75 micron sieve • Final size depends on volatile fraction • Purpose is to facilitate fuel and air mixing
Alternative Fuels come in all shapes and sizes Rice Husks Wood Waste Paper and Plastics Tire Shreds Diapers Cherry Stones

Example – Problem • 1650 TPD kiln firing coal/coke/gas can only fire 30% coke before high CO and build up • Model shows • The burner provides incorrect momentum to entrain the combustion air. • The burner position and angleinthekiln cause flame impingement. • The kiln is operated with too little excess air. • Flame length is excessive at all reasonable excess air levels.
Example - Solution • Model used to design new burner • New burner • Shorter flame length at all excess air levels, can operate at 2% oxygen • Performs best when aligned with the kiln axis • Has correct burner momentum for short flame.
Example - Benefits • The benefits to the plant are • Petcoke usage has now increased to 100% - previously 30% • Clinker quality has improved dramatically, with 28 day strengths increasing by 10% • Almost no build up has been experienced in the kiln and riser duct, where previously build up was restricting kiln performance even with 30% petcoke • A fuel saving of about 45 kcal/kg cli was seen by the plant, partly attributable to a change in the coal dosing system and partly to the new burner
COSMA Output in Real Time • On-Line X-Ray Diffraction Analyzer • Measures mineral phases directly, like alite, belite, gypsum de-hydration and free lime • Data sent to process control system for automatic quality control and process optimization • Continuous mineral analysis in Real Time • Control quality continuously • Increase limestone or pozzolan addition • Reduce free lime variability, lower fuel, reduce NOx, less grinding energy • Ensure clinker quality, especially when burning alternatives
