24/7 Kiln shell temperature monitoring and Process Optimisation at LafargeHolcim Bouskoura plant, Morocco, using HGH thermography solutions – World…

Plant operators need real-time and continuous monitoring of the kiln shell temperature in order to be alerted in case a hot spot occurs. Kilnscan monitors the temperature from an external point of view with a unique reference pyrometer for unsurpassed accuracy in adverse weather conditions. Whereas Pyroscan looks at the kiln from the inside to optimise the clinker calcination process and provides the visualisation of clinker chute. Pyroscan helps operators to stabilise the burner settings, and to improve the clinker sintering process.

HGHs bundle solution comprising an IR scanner and camera meets the clients requirements in terms of high performance.

Amine Mnaouer, Plant Maintenance Manager at LafargeHolcim cement plant said: The use of the HGH scanner brings great added value for the management of the clinker manufacturing process as well as the prevention of any incident of the kiln shell. It is an essential tool for the good operation of the kiln. He added The PYROSCAN camera enabled us to reinforce the kiln monitoring tools and to better control the flame quality. Pyroscans data provides a high contribution for the kiln Master system for automated kiln control.

HGH Kiln shell scanner and dual pyrometric cameras

HGH, which is celebrating its 40-year anniversary this year, offers to the Cement Industry high resolution KILNSCAN kiln shell scanners and PYROSCAN cameras for kilns & coolers.

While rotary kilns have been used for more than a century, monitoring a burner remains a challenge, even more so at a time when energy sustainability is so important.

Because of standard fuel restrictions and in order to reduce overall emissions, the use of alternative fuels is constantly increasing, making control of the flame pattern, size and temperature essential for ensuring kiln stability. Continuous monitoring of the kiln shell temperature and the generation of real-time, sharp temperature maps inside kilns and coolers are a key part of this process.

To meet cement producers requirements in this area, HGH has designed its Pyroscan and Kilnscan solutions. While Pyroscan looks at the kiln from the inside, Kilnscan monitors the temperature of the outside of the kiln shell and is located some distance away from it.
