Efficient performance of heat consumption and Economic cement kiln operation

It is known that the highest cost in cement production is energy consumption, so more attention is required to controlling the burning process to optimize the cost ???

Although all the concerned operation teams have the knowledge and experience of controlling the burning process, Still some issues that negatively impact heat and power consumption don’t have the desired attention.

The following are the common Causes of underperformance of specific heat consumption and areas that need focusing:

?

1.????? Low Reliability (incidence stoppage)

2.???? Number and duration of stoppages

3.???? False air (one of the most impactors)

4.???? Low cooler efficiency (either machinery or process)

5.???? Overburning of clinker

6.???? Poor optimization of combustion of fuel (the operator and concerned manager must be focused on balancing air/fuel ratio and flame shape)

7.???? Centering of the burner and adjusting burner parameters (it depends on the?design, fuel type, raw material, and kiln status)

8.???? Low cyclone efficiency (it may require some modification or repairs)

9.???? Poor choice of raw material, or poor mixing, or poor preparation of raw material

10.? Running under capacity

11.?? poor management of refractory lining, spec, conditions, and installation

12.? Efficiency of raw meal silo

13.? Neglecting verification plan for measuring instrument
