How to Use This Calculator
- Enter raw meal loss on ignition: LOI % from chemical analysis
- Enter process losses: preheater dust loss %, dust LOI, bypass dust if applicable
- Enter fuel ash absorption data: coal ash %, ash incorporated %
- Click Calculate: to see clinker factor (ton cli / ton feed), feed factor (ton feed / ton cli), and dust recirculation impact
Raw Meal & Process Losses
Loss on ignition; typical 34–37%
% of kiln feed lost as dust
LOI of the collected dust
Ash absorbed into clinker; % of feed
If applicable; % of feed
LOI of bypass dust if applicable
