Unwanted false air in cement plants can be a big problem and has to be taken seriously.

In fact, false air brings the following inconveniences:
* drop in production of installations
* Increase of the power consumption
* drop of temperature for drying raw material
* higher wear of fans
* difficulty to transport material
It is therefore important to know the points where false air can appear and to know the percentage of false air
in order to take appropriate measures.
For that, some measurements are necessary on site.
False air is mostly present in the following areas of a cement plant:
* Raw mill grinding area
* Kiln area
* Cement mill grinding area
The potential entry points of false air are:
* Mill outlet
* Feeding points
* Holes in ducts
* Flaps, expansion joints
* Connections
* Filters

Process Control

The main controlled variables of a cement kiln are the burning temperature and the exit gas temperature. The manipulated variables are the fuel rate and the kiln feed rate. The oxygen content in these gases is also usually controlled using the exhaust fan speeds but this control loop already existing in the industry.

MASS AND HEAT BALANCE OF CEMENT KILN

In a typical dry process kiln systems, the feed materials are preheated by the hot gases from rotary kiln. A secondary burner in the pr-calciner is included to improve energy efficiency. The mixture of the preheated and pre-calcined materials enters the rotary kiln, which is a counter flow reactor. Fuels together with air enter from the opposite end. The solid feed is heated to an extremely high temperature in the burning zone such that raw materials react and form nodular clinker. Clinker exits the kiln at about 1350 ºC and is cooled down to less than 120 ºC by cross flowing air. Part of the heated air from the cooler enters the kiln, another portion flows to the pre-calciner; the rest is released as exhaust air.

ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN CEMENT KILN PLANT

Table (2) provides the average energy consumption values by processes for cement kiln plant. In almost cases, the average energy consumption values is significantly higher than the best practice value, indicating that a strong potential for energy efficiency improvements in many cement kiln plants
