1. The document outlines the start up and shut down procedures for a cement kiln, including starting various equipment like compressors, fans, pumps, and firing systems in a specific sequence to safely bring the kiln online.
2. It provides details on heating the kiln according to a schedule, starting additional equipment once certain temperature thresholds are reached, and regulating dampers and fans to control temperatures.
3. The procedure describes initiating the kiln feed and achieving full production rates once the kiln is up to temperature and operating properly, and then similarly shutting down equipment in reverse order to safely take the kiln offline.

Kiln Start Procedure(Wonder cement Ltd)
1 Start the compressors and water pumps
2 Open the PH O/L fresh air dampers (20% each or if only one 40%) 3 Start the PA blower (Starting Pressure 800-1000 mmwg) and PA fan (600-700 RPM) 4 Start the Diesel Firing 5 Start Kiln GB, Girth Gear pump, Roller pumps and thruster pump 6 Rotate the Kiln according to schedule 7 Kiln heating should be done according to the 'Heating schedule' and increase the temp. as per the schedule (Maintain the Kiln I/L temp by regulating the PH O/L fresh air dampers(Check kiln I/L temp. regularly) 8 No need to open the PH fan I/L dampers while heating the kiln until there is a margin in fresh air dampers 9 After achieving temp 350, Start the Bag House fan before the coal firing and maintain the Junction Draught between -20 mmwg and -30 mmwg 10 Open the PH Fan I/L damper 5 to 10% 11 Start the Coal Firing as per the 'Heating schedule' (Also increase the PA blower pressure) 12 Rotate Kiln on 'aux drive' continuously 13 Regulate the TAD dampers to increase the kiln I/L temp and PC temp 14 After achieving temp 500'C, start the Nose ring fans, kiln I/L cooling fan(tongue plate cooling fan) and TAD cooling fan and Bull Nose cooling fan 15 Start the two or three fans of CIS after achieving temp 500 (If need start before) 16 Take all the trials of listed below during the 'Heating schedule'- (a)Cooler fans,(b)Cooler drives(grates),(c)PH fans(I/L dampers should be closed),(d)Kiln main drive and its cooling blowers (e)Cooler ESP fan,(f)DPC and Cooler crusher,(g)KF rotary air locks and slide grates (h) Calciner firing blower (i) Kiln feed Elevator (j)Cooler ESP transport group,(k)Mixing bin Group
Open TAD damper > 75% before taking feed
After achieving the desired Kiln I/L temperature and Kiln is ready to start 1 Start the PH fan(I/L damper should be closed) 2 Start the Kiln Feed group except SFM 3 Start Cooler fans(Ist grate fans should be between 50 and 60%, Rest will be 30 to 40%) 4 Open the PH fan damper 100% 5 Start ESP fan and maintain the hood draught between -5 and -7 mmwg 6 Start cooler grates at minimum speed(3 SPM) 7 Stop auxiliary drive and start main drive (0.8 RPM) 8 Start the thruster pump group 9 Start shell cooling fans 10 Increase the PH fans RPM (585 for 160TPH,) 11 Close the PH Fresh air dampers(one damper can be about 30% to control PH fan I/L temp) (All the cone draught should be > -30 mmwg) 12 Start the feed(SFM with 160 TPH) 13 Start the Calciner coal firing 14 Maintain the calciner O/L temperature between 860 to 880 15 Increase the feed and RPM according to kiln condition
After starting the kiln-
Maintain the hood draught between -5 and -7 mmwg Maintain the junction draught between -25 and -35 mmwg Try to maintain PH O/L O2 4 to 5%(Initially 7%) Increase PA blower pressure up to 4000 mmwg Maintain the cooler bed height 75 to 80 cm Maintain Calciner O/L temp as per kiln condition
Kiln Stop Procedure
Stop the feed Stop the calciner firing Reduce the Kiln RPM Close the PH fans dampers and reduce the PH fans speed(minimum) and open the fresh air dampers.(But be careful to maintain the hood draught by regulating the cooler fans and cooler ESP fan) Stop or reduce kiln firing as per schedule Reduce the PA fan pressure Stop main drive and start auxiliary drive Stop shell cooling fans Reduce the cooler SPM ( minimum) After some time stop the cooler Reduce the cooler fans speed(minimum) After some time stop the cooler fans (except starting 4 fans) Cool down the kiln as per schedule by regulating the PH fresh air dampers
