Kiln and mill examinations are carried out in order to gather data on the performance and to validate warranty performance data such as the output, the energy consumption, input/output ratio or the effciency. They also provide a reliable foundation for the optimisation of individual operational system components, the cement quality, the reduction of emissions levels and for assessment of material cycles and coating formations.
Learning outcomes
- Calculate energy and mass-balances at cement kilns according to VDZ procedure (energy and mass-balances: Vt10)
- Plan and conduct kiln trials to gather data for energy and mass balances at cement kilns)
- Understand measurement and sampling techniques for kiln trials at basic level
- Conduct examinations to optimize mill operation according to VDZ procedure
