The most important gases to be monitored for kiln control are: Oxygen : too low fuel may not be burning correctly wasting energy. too high possible to increase fuel input and raw material input and therefore possible to increase production CO : This gas is created in the flame, when the flame is not burning correctly Dangerous, toxic loss of energy (incomplete combustion) NOx : This gas is also created in the flame. Flame Surface T° NOx creation . NOx = indicator of the temperature of the clinkering zone in the kiln = indicator of the end quality of the clinker that is manufactured. All these gases can be measured using our sampling system, and the measurement of these gases already provides a great deal of valuable information on the operation of the kiln. Gas Sampling and Analysis Different sampling locations Precalciner Kiln Cooler Gas sampling Our experience: all cement plants are facing the same trouble Clogging of the sampling probe in the Fume Box Output Analyser Gas Sampling and Analysis Requirements for an efficient kiln back end gas sampling Low Maintenance -
