Kiln Burner Design Calculator

Design kiln burner for coal, petcoke, HFO, or natural gas: fuel flow, combustion air, nozzle sizing & flame momentum

How to Use This Calculator

Select fuel type: coal, petcoke, HFO, or natural gas and enter burner capacity in GJ/hr
Enter primary air parameters: percentage, pressure (mbar), and coal properties (fineness, volatile matter)
Click Calculate: to see fuel flow, combustion air required, primary air flow, nozzle area, flame momentum, and estimated flame length

Fuel Type

Burner Capacity (GJ/hr)e.g. 120 GJ/hr = ~33.3 MW thermal

Primary Air (%)Typical 6–12%

Primary Air Pressure (mbar)Typical 100–250 mbar

Number of Channels

Coal Fineness (% passing 90μm)Only for solid fuels; 80–92% typical

Coal Volatile Matter (%)Only for solid fuels; 20–38% typical
