Remark:
1. More fuel is needed in calciner.
2. Kiln fuel feed has to be decreased.
3. Recycled mass has to be cooled.

Challenges:
• Calcination in preheater 1
• CO2 release outside the calciner
• formation of belit in preheater 1
• recirculation of inactive phases

Solution: evaporation cooler
- efficiency loss
+ positive influence of water vapour
on carbonation
solution: cooling the combustion gas
from 1020 °C to < 750 °C
technical limitations due to high
temperature and erosive dust load
currently no appropriate heat exchangers
and turbines available
11
Concept for the integration of the IHCaL process
Because of erosive dust load a filter is
needed between clinker cooler and the
combustor.
tertiary air < 450 °C !
+ enough oxygen
+ no need of an additional oxygen input
- more air to heat up in the combustor
- need of a preheating zone in the lower
part of combustor
