PREPOL Step Combustor (SC) – a simple combustion system for solid alternative fuels

Operational experience shows that waste has to be pre-processed in a mechanical plant before its derived fuel can be used in a cement plant with standard equipment. The fuel must be comminuted to 20-50 mm to entrain into the gas stream and totally burnout within the short retention time in the calciner or at the kiln end. Alternatively, solid waste derived fuel ...
