Operational experience: Warstein lime plant using CT dosing systems

In the 3/2013 issue of the respected trade journal Cement International, the managing director, the plant manager, and the authorized signatory of the Warstein lime plant report on their highly positive operational experiences. Specifically, their joint report focuses on the exceptional performance of their newly constructed lime kiln. To ensure long-term competitiveness, this traditional German facility relies on high-end thermodynamic technology to process its raw materials.

Crucial role of the advanced dosing system

Consequently, the high-precision dosing system from Carbotechnik Energiesysteme GmbH plays a crucial role in this industrial success. Thanks to its advanced engineering, this technology enables remarkably precise dosing and distribution of pulverized fuels via 2 x 28 individual burner lances. As a result of this precise setup, the technology optimally feeds the massive lime shaft kiln at all times. Therefore, the facility achieves exceptionally efficient operation and maintains an incredibly stable thermodynamic cycle.

Furthermore, the multi-lance distribution network completely eliminates temperature fluctuations inside the kiln. Indeed, uniform heat distribution remains the absolute key to producing premium-grade lime. Since the Carbotechnik dosing system controls the fuel flow with pinpoint accuracy, the plant drastically reduces its overall energy consumption. Ultimately, this automated control prevents material blockages and significantly lowers daily maintenance requirements for the operator.
