Double beam lime kiln introduction
Double-beam lime kiln mainly includes kiln body and supporting system. The kiln body includes a preheating zone, a calcining zone and a cooling zone. The calcining area is equipped with upper and lower combustion beams, the combustion beam is composed of support beams and combustion nozzles. There is a down suction beam in the middle of the cooling zone, the outlet of the down suction beam is connected with the combustion air inlet of the lower combustion beam through an injector, and a parallel flow calcination zone is formed between the lower parts.
Combustion beam and down suction beam, material and flue gas flow in the same direction in the parallel flow calcination zone. The high-temperature gas inhaled by the down-suction beam ejector is used as combustion-supporting air to enter the calcination area for circulation, which prolongs the calcination area, fully decomposes and homogenizes the calcined materials, avoids over-burning or under-burning, and has good quality lime products, energy saving and emission reduction, and cost reduction.
The combustion beam system composed of support beams and combustion nozzles can burn evenly, which is beneficial to improve the quality of calcined products and avoid burning the beam body. It has the advantages of low heat consumption, high lime activity, strong fuel adaptability, simple structure, low investment and operating costs, etc. Suitable for steel, calcium carbide, aluminum, paper and other industries.
Our company has obtained the national patent certificate for this type of kiln, and it has been widely used in major iron and steel enterprises and chemical industries across the country.


Specifications and technical characteristics of double beam lime kilns
1. Production capacity: 100t/d-600t/d. The operating flexibility of the kiln can range from 70% to 100%, taking a 300t/d kiln as an example. The production capacity can be adjusted arbitrarily within the range of 210t/d-300t/d, and stable operation can be achieved without affecting the quality and consumption indicators.
2. Limestone particle size: 30mm-60mm, 40mm-80mm, particle size range ratio is 1:2.
3. Fuel types: The kiln can use blast furnace gas, converter gas, coke oven gas from the iron and steel industry, calcium carbide furnace tail gas from the calcium carbide industry, natural gas, producer gas, liquefied petroleum gas, heavy oil, coal powder, etc. In addition to the above, an important feature is that the kiln can be used for mixed fuels composed of the above fuels. (gas-gas, gas-liquid, gas-solid, liquid-solid and other mixtures).
4. Lime products: The quality of lime is good, the activity is greater than 320ml (4N HCL method for 10 minutes), and the residual CO2 is less than or equal to 35%.
5. Low heat consumption: The thermal energy utilization of the kiln is reasonable, the primary air is preheated by the flue gas, the secondary air is preheated by cooling the lime, the fuel is completely burned, and the heat of the fuel is fully utilized, so the heat consumption is low, about 1050kcal/kg lime.
6. High operation rate: it can operate continuously for 48 weeks per year.


Institutional characteristics of double lime kilns
1. The kiln body is quasi-rectangular or circular. There are upper and lower layers of burner beams in the kiln body, and a layer of exhaust gas suction beams in the upper and lower parts of the kiln body. They divide the kiln into five zones, namely the storage zone, the pre-heating zone, the calcination zone, the post-calcination zone, and the cooling zone.
2. The use of two-layer combustion beams is the characteristic of this kiln type. The burner evenly distributes the fuel (gas, liquid, solid) to the kiln section and evenly mixes it with the combustion air for combustion. The number and distribution of burners should be adjusted according to the kiln type. In this way, the uniform temperature distribution on the entire kiln section is ensured, and efficient and uniform calcination is realized, so that the rate of overburning of lime is low and the activity of lime is increased.

3. There is a layer of exhaust gas suction beams on the upper part of the kiln. The kiln gas is drawn out by the suction beam through the opening to ensure that the negative pressure distribution of the entire kiln section is even. The extracted waste gas exchanges heat with the combustion-supporting air so that the heat energy can be fully utilized.

4. Two-way pressure system is another important feature of this kiln. The secondary air is blown in by a fan and enters the cooling zone through a special-shaped distribution beam to cool the lime evenly and maintain positive pressure in the kiln from below the calcination zone. Compared with the full negative pressure system, it is easier to accurately control the primary and secondary air volume. The flue gas produced by calcination is discharged from the top of the kiln body, so that the negative pressure is maintained above the calcination area in the kiln, so that the heating temperature on the kiln section is uniform. The air volume adjustment range is from 10-100%. By adjusting the combustion air volume required for balance, the kiln can work under the best operating conditions, so as to ensure good combustion, reduce heat consumption, reduce power consumption, and reduce production costs.
