This book deals with two important areas that directly affect kiln availability for production. These two aspects decide if the cement plant would make profit or loss during the year. At the moment there is no book that deals with these aspects. The literature on these subjects is scattered and the totality of the subject is missing. The book Refractory Engineering and Kiln Maintenance in Cement Plants is an utmost requirement for the Cement Industry and would fulfil the needs of the Cement Industry all over the world. It has brought out various developments of refractory with the changing technological scenario. The contents is totally comprehensive in every respect and has been planned in such a way that starting from Changing Phases of Kiln Systems and Choice of Refractories, Improving the Kiln Up-time, there are also important chapters on Inspection, Storage and Packing of Refractories, Refractory Management, Kiln Maintenance with a bonus of a glossary of the technical terms. The book will serve as a handbook for production managers, production engineers, Kiln operators, refractory engineers, maintenance managers, purchase engineers, inventory engineers, warehouse officers and storekeepers.

This book provides process engineers with all of the information necessary for installation, maintenance and management of refractory in a cement industry. It describes how to characterize the refractory material and select refractories for various equipments in the cement plant. The author explains refractory installation, in general, and the rotary kiln specifically, as it is distinct from static furnaces used in metallurgical or process industries. It also details the chemical and physical factors that influence refractory performance and has discussed the mechanism of degradation of refractories with special emphasis on thermo-chemical and thermo-mechanical aspects. The heat transfer calculation and energy loss from the equipment surfaces has been addressed. A chapter in the book is dedicated for the management of refractory quality and the installation quality at the site. Maximizes reader understanding of the operating conditions in different equipments and how those are related to selection of refractories; Details the process variables and their influences on the performance of the refractories; Elucidates subtle points of refractory installation to ensure optimal performance; Presents heat transfer calculations and quality management protocols of refractory installation. Reinforces the concepts with many illustrations and tables.

Improper installation or maintenance is a common cause of refractory failure. Factors such as installation techniques, curing time, inadequate support, or poor-quality materials can all weaken the refractory and contribute to its failure. Refractory installation begins at the manufacturing stage.

Structured into fourteen chapters, this volume covers various aspects of kiln maintenance and deals with the wear of components, operational parameters and their impact on the condition of the kiln, maintenance-friendly design considerations of kiln components, on-line techniques for condition monitoring, repair during operation, effective management of a kiln shutdown, and some management approaches. It presents systematic analyses of the problems encountered during the life span of the kilns and suggests appropriate method(s) to tackle them and meet the needs of engineers and operators involved. Written in simple language, containing a good blend of theory and practice, and supported with practical reference tables and figures, this book is intended for engineers, operators and maintenance workers working with cement kilns. The author, Dr. J.P. Saxena is an absolute expert in the field.

The lower end of the rotary kiln is the burning zone, where cement components are heated to about 1300-1450°C (2372-2642°F). Measurement of the temperature in the burning zone is vital to maintain product quality and kiln efficiency.
