Abstract

Chinese-made chlorine bypass system has been implemented to achieve stable and trouble-free kiln operation using calcium carbide residue (CCR) with high chlorine concentration as main alternative material, avoid dangerous blockage, problematic build-ups and coatings, stoppage and corrosion caused by high recirculation of volatile materials in kiln. Compared with the chlorine bypass system in service in domestic and overseas cement plants, Chinese-made chlorine bypass system owns typical and distinctive characteristics. The total cost of Chinese-made chlorine bypass system is lower than the total cost of introducing foreign technology. Bypass ratio in actual running process is 3.12–3.52% (theoretical calculation value, 9%) via heat engineering calculation. Installation and operation of chlorine bypass system achieve great improvement in firing process of clinker, reduce monthly average coatings removal frequencies, stoppage time, chlorine concentration and comprehensive standard coal consumption of clinker. Great changes in monthly average composition of raw meal and composition of solid waste except CCR pose no influence on performance of chlorine bypass. Implementation of chlorine bypass system has little impact on the emission concentration of air pollutants, the tested emission concentration of air pollutants satisfies the requirements of standards.
