The Fluent CFD tool allows to compare burner tip geometries
Stream lines around flames
Question : Are there big recirculation areas inside the kiln ?
Answer : NoExtract from competitor article

High intensity flameLong lazy flame
Question : Can we evaluate the influenceof flame intensity on theclinker bed ?
Answer : Yes
Bad air distribution(white cement)

A.S.F.: how to improve the combustion of fluff ?
First dispersor New dispersor (2005)
NEW PATENTSFR 9808254 of June 24, 1998EP 99.430010.1 of June 23, 1999
; A fast dispersion into the flameA new "fluff dispersor" has been developed
Fluff being heterogeneous, its combustion requires:
Suction of secondary air Radiation on clinker
; An acceleration of the combustion, by SLOT EFFECT, enabling
to Adapt the amount of Hot Secondary Air(H.S.A.) introduced in the flame
And, - as a consequence- , to affect the flame temperature
Few H.S.A. in flame,SOFT FLAME
Fast/high H.S.A. in flame,HIGH INTENSITY FLAME

Clinker quality & Sulphur cycle
The ROTAFLAM Version 2 with "SLOT EFFECT improves the clinker quality and impedes the Sulphur cycle formation, thanks to:
No contact between flame and the clinker bed
Low diameter "cigar" shaped flame in the kiln axis
High intensity flame (DRY PROCESS), softer (WET)

Running data; Past experience with the kiln (difficulties, rings, other); Priority targets (Increase prod ? Improve clinker quality ? Sulphur cycle problems ? Decrease NOx ?
Increase A.S.F. %?)

The NOVAFLAM burner : references
; Simplicity of adjustment confirmed.
; Intense flame, low with low primary air pressure (< 250 mbar), confirmed.
HOLCIM LUMBRES opinion: "Replacing the previous burner by the NOVAFLAM has allowed us to increase the % total kiln energy amount from impregnated sawdust from 11% in 2007 to 20% in 2008Furthermore, the NOVAFLAM is very simple to use
HOLCIM DANNES opinion: "The total substitution rate has increased by 70%... The flame is strong and intense even with pressure from 160 to 180 mbar the operators highly appreciate the burner flexibility and the simplicity of the adjustments"
