1.1 Introduction
This is known as duo-flex multi-channel burner supplied by FLSmidth Pvt Ltd. This is the
latest and modern burner. We have all controlling facilities for controlling flame
momentum tip velocity and NOx formation.
For decreasing the NOx formation in the kiln, the flame momentum can be optimized by
adjusting the nozzle tip area and primary air flow.

5.4 Operation
Adjust the flame shape when the kiln burning zone is hot enough to support the flame.
The flame should then be made longer to give a more uniform thermal load on the
lining. Use the following default settings at first start
These settings however are preliminary and should be reviewed after inspection of the
flame shape. The best settings are found by using the enclosed interface for calculating
the flame momentum, visual inspection in the kiln and monitoring the kiln shell
temperatures, which normally reflects the formation of coating, when the lining is in
good shape. The goal is to create an even distributed kiln shell temperature in the
burning zone area without getting ring formations or naked lining in the inlet and outlet
of the burning zone.
For regulation of the fuel input rates, see separate instruction manual for oil burner
and/or gas burner and coal dosage equipment.
Once the kiln is in normal operation, the flame should be monitored very closely.
Impingement of the flame against the lining must never occur since this may have a
disruptive effect on the coating, which in turn may entail a too high kiln shell
temperature and a reduced life span of the lining. If for example the flame is pointing
too much upwards and therefore will be too close to the kiln shell, the position of the
Duoflex burner should be adjusted to move the flame down towards the kiln charge.
See separate instruction for burner suspension.
Primary air momentum and swirl must be adjusted to make the flame hard and
stable.
The optimum burner settings depend on the fuel. The table below can be used as a
guide line for initial adjustment.
