Gaseous fuel firing in lime kilns

12 October 2016, Published under Cement News

FCT Combustion applies jet excitation, a fluid dynamic singularity, in its Gyro-Therm ® burner to promote increased mixing rates between gaseous fuels and oxidant in lime kilns. This technology is able to simultaneously reduce specific energy consumption, kiln inlet temperature and NO x emissions, while increasing production rates. By Joel Maia, FCT GmbH, Germany. Figure 1: Gyro-Therm chamber diagram Even if it is an oversimplified statement, it is commonly said that there are...
