Problems relating use of High VM Coal


* High sulphur may result in an increased build up in cyclones, riser duct and smoke chamber
* This is theoratical calculation as per current condition,If so3 in clinker will not increase than high VM Coal mixing will not be possible from more than 5%
* Also the higher contents of SO3 in the clinker results in poor grindability and in lower strength of Cement.
* The refractory service life may decrease
* The internal Kiln shell corrosion rate may become faster.
