Kilns are used in many minerals processing plants either as an intermediate process or as a final step to produce a finished product.
The process is characterized by long residence times and high fuel consumption. Control is difficult due to internal cycles in the kiln, long material residence time and uncertain quality of the inputs to the process.
ABB's Industrial
IT for Kilns offers:
- Consistent control of the temperature profile
- Optimization of the temperature profile to minimize fuel consumption
- Reduced product variability
- Longer campaigns by increasing the life of the refractory lining
- Increased output by reduction of process disturbances
