KILN SYSTEMS
Continuous rotary processes that require a chemical alteration of the raw feed to the finished product use rotary kilns. Normally chemical changes in rotary processes require high temperatures (>2000 F) to achieve the desired material characteristics. Most kilns are direct fired with the flow of feed and air occurring in opposite directions called counter flow. However, some kiln systems outside normal parameters. Rotary kilns come in a multitude of forms such as wet kilns, dry kilns,
• Mass and Energy Balance
-What it is
• Balance of airflow, combustion, and materials going in and out of the rotary kiln.
-Why is it important
• This is a diagnostic service that will give insight on how the kiln is functioning and show any problems related to emissions, fuel consumption, production, and quality.
• Process Evaluation
– What it is
• Evaluation
-Why is it important
• A better understanding of what is going into and out of the kiln will shed light on the right path to a more productive system.
