THE PFR KILN. THE HPS KILN.
The PFR kiln from Maerz is ideal for the production The HPS kiln from Maerz functions on the principle
of soft-burnt lime. The lime is calcined in a parallel of counter flow. Combustion gases flow from bottom
flow. The feedstock and the combustion gases move to top traversing the feedstock; while fuel is only
in the same direction from top to bottom. The energy added towards the end of the burning zone. Upon
needed for the calcination is supplied at the begin- completion of the combustion process higher energy
ning of the calcination process. This ensures that input can be used to raise the peak temperature in
the peak temperature in the burning zone is low the burning zone: Thus, the CaO crystallites fuse
enough so that the resulting CaO crystallites do not and reduce the specific surface of burnt lime. This
fuse. The specific surface of burnt lime thus remains process produces low reactive lime, which is ideal,
intact. This burnt lime is highly reactive and ideal, e.g., for the production of aerated concrete and sand

The typical heat consumption (based on the fuel’s In PFR kilns there is no open flame with a high tem-
lower calorific value) lies between 3480 and 3850 kJ perature. This is why hardly any nitrogen oxides are
(830–920 kcal) per kilogram or 2.99 to 3.32 MBtu produced. The flames in the kiln are entirely sur-
per short ton of lime, depending on the chemical rounded by material with a lower temperature. The
analysis and the grain size as well as the type of fuel stone directly absorbs the heat for the calcination
used. The consumption of electrical energy depends process. Thus the peak flame temperature is reduced
on the grain size, the fuel and the kiln’s altitude – along with the formation of nitrogen oxides. The
above sea level. The consumption amounts to 25 to interaction of all components and the fine-tuning of
45 kWh per ton of lime. the lime plant also play their part in achieving low
