Operating experience with an Eberhardt G 135 lime shaft kiln fired with natural gas

Long-unused know-how relating to gas- and oil-operated lime shaft kilns was called on to satisfy market requirements. It has then been developed to its current level by applying authoritative expertise in the areas of refractory technology plant engineering and process engineering. A description is given of a lime shaft kiln that not only fulfils the specific requirements of the sugar industry with respect to kiln technology, burnt lime and kiln exhaust gas but also indicates possible employment in the lime and building materials industry where existing kilns with mixed firing systems are having to be converted to different fuels.
