Although rotary kilns have been used for decades, monitoring the burners has always been a challenge, especially at a time when energy sustainability is so important. Due to standard fuel limitations, the use of alternative fuels is constantly increasing, making control of flame pattern, size and temperature critical.
Some parts of the cement clinker production process, such as the kiln burner flame and coolers, are not always well monitored. On the burner side, ensuring reliable temperature readings inside the furnace, even in a dusty environment, is no easy task and requires high-quality reliable tools.
Pyroscan is a pyrometric camera that delivers high-quality images with much more detail in both dark and bright areas, thanks to full High Dynamic Range (HDR) thermal images. It provides reliable temperature readings even in a dusty environment with an unlimited number of user-defined measurement points. Pyroscan enables visualization of temperature measurements in the clinker field and flame shape monitoring with user-defined analysis lines.
Additionally, “snowman” and “red river” can be viewed on the grill cooler.
These solutions are critical to improving the efficiency and reliability of cement production processes.
