Tips On Kiln Operation

 Every 1 % reduction in free lime, increases 10 – 25 kcal/kg

clinker heat consumption.

 Every 10% increase in preheater exit temp., increases 7-10

kcal/kg clinker heat consumption.

 Every 10% increase in clinker temp., increases 2 kcal/kg clinker

heat consumption.

 Every 1% increase in kiln PH exit O2% , increases 7 kcal/kg

clinker heat consumption.

 Every 1% increase in residue(kiln feed) in 90 micron , increases

5-10 kcal/kg clinker heat consumption.

 Every 0.1 increase in silica modulus, increases 10kcal/kg

clinker heat consumption.

 Every 1% increase in kiln feed LSF, increases 15 kcal/kg clinker

heat consumption.

 Every 100 blain increase in cement , increases 1.5 kwh/MT

power cons’n.

 Every 1% reduction in primary air, reduces 0.7 kcal/kg clinker

heat cons’n.

 Every 10 degree centigrade increase in flame temperature ,

increases 1% kiln production.

 Every 100 blaine increase in cement, increases 1.5 Mpa

strength.

 Every 1% increase in fine coal moisture, reduces 10 to 14

degree centigrade flame temperature.

 Every 1% reduction in clinker-free lime, increases 4.0 % C3S in

clinker.

 Every 1% increase in C3S reduces 0.3 to 0.5 kwh/MT clinker

grinding energy consumption.
