1. Residence time in investigated AS calciners of HeidelbergCement
(note – retention times calculated on a common set of data)
The calculated residence times are from the calciner fuel inlet to the
lower cyclone stage. Residence times calculated using a common set of data
Avg = 3.6 seconds
Max = 6.4 seconds (Edmonton)
Min = 1.9 seconds (Canakkale)
Union Bridge = 6 seconds @ 5500 MTPDclk and 5 seconds at 6500 MTPDclk
Padeswood and Lixhe – similar to UB

3. Hot core - promotes combustion with a flame and reduces
tendency of flameless combustion or delayed combustion
Both Slite and Antoing are feeding alternative fuels to the hot core in
the combustion hat of the swirl calciner

4. Kiln riser restriction - (high riser duct velocity) important to
assure solid alternative fuels do not fall into the kiln and burn in
the feed bed of the kiln leading to increase in volatile cycles.
