Energy auditing and recovery for dry type cementrotary kiln systems

This paper deals with the energy audit analysis of a dry type rotary kiln system working in a cement plant in Turkey. The kiln has a capacity of 600 ton-clinker
per day. It was found that about 40% of the total input energy was being lost through hot flue gas (19.15%),cooler stack (5.61%) and kiln shell (15.11% convection plus radiation). Some possible ways to recover the heat losses are also introduced and discussed. Findings showed that approximately 15.6% of the total input energy (4 MW) could be recovered.on Cement production
