A TEC GRECO will deliver it’s Kiln Burner to HeidelbergCement’s plant at Burglengenfeld. The project will be realized by the end of 2016 and is part of a complete modernization of the plant at Burglengenfeld, which is conducted by IKN.
The scope of A TEC GRECO’s supply includes the engineering, design and manufacturing of a tailor-made combustion system including the required peripheral systems for an efficient and reliable operation.
The core equipment: A TEC GRECO Kiln Burner
The unique axisymmetric design of the A TEC GRECO burner using three airflows allows optimizing the combustion process and therefore maximizing alternative fuel injection. Additionally HeidelbergCement is achieving high control over NOx emissions through simple procedures. The burner operates with an outer, individual to kiln conditions (essentially to the secondary air temperature) adapted momentum flow of primary air (external air), whose high momentum and therefore high exit velocity is decisively responsible for the slim, firm shape. That produces a shorter and high radiant flame compared to low momentum burners. The high momentum is equivalent to the mixing zone length of the flame, which follows the ability to control the flame from the ignition point to the remaining flame length.
Burner thermal power: 75 MW
Fuels: Lignite, Sewage Sludge, RDF, Diesel and Solvents
About the A TEC Group
The A TEC Group is an engineering and technologies company located in Austria. It is focussed on optimization and efficiency improvement of cement plants. In total, A TEC has successfully completed more than 450 cement plant optimization projects.
With A TEC’s subsidiary “A TEC GRECO Combustion Services”, the company also offers state-of-the art high efficiency burners for kiln and calciner, in recent years further developed especially with very complex design for firing nearly any kind of alternative fuels. The latest generation High-Momentum Low-NOx burner technology fulfils and even exceeds the stringent requirements of today’s cement kiln combustion.
