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.
▶ HGH Kiln shell scanner and dual pyrometric camera
Continuous monitoring of the kiln shell temperature and the generation of real-time, sharp visible images combined with thermal images inside kilns and coolers are a key part of temperature monitoring and process optimisation. Both offer this possibility, one from inside the oven: the PYROSCAN ruggedized HDR pyrometric camera, the other from a longer distance, outside: the KILNSCAN scanner.
KILNSCAN & PYROSCAN in a cement plant:
▶ Improve cement quality with PYROSCAN!
- High level of flexibility: A solution adapted to any application in a kiln or a cooler.
- Visible and thermal images of incomparable sharpness
- Each pixel’s temperature is measured using the High Dynamic Range operating mode which eliminates saturated and under-exposed areas
- The system is supplied with its own software combining ease of use and intuitive HMI, with a complete function toolbox allowing image and temperature display, analysis and recording
- Contributes to the clinker quality
▶ Kiln shell monitoring, using Kilnscan for preventive maintenance
- KILNSCAN can be installed in various configurations to accommodate any masking and complexity of the environment around the kiln
- With the best spatial and thermal resolution on the market, Kilnscan allows the user to see small details and detect the failure of a single refractory brick anywhere on the kiln shell, and thus contributes to preventive maintenance
- The software encompasses an exhaustive set of functions for processing, displaying and recording data and trends. It also includes exclusive functions such as Thermal Warp Monitoring, which provides information about the stresses generated in the kiln by thermal inhomogeneities
- The rugged design of the scanner head supports operation in any environment
