Thanks to innovative airtight sealed charging and discharging systems the kiln is not only ready for future CO2 capture technologies, but also will significantly save electric energy by up to 20% compared to conventional rotary piston blowers by using high-pressure fans to provide the process air.
Detailed planning is underway and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Maerz’ scope of supply will be the petroleum coke firing system, skip winch, charging and discharging systems, high-pressure fans, hydraulic unit and control system. According to the schedule, commissioning should take place in the first half of 2025.
