Research on the Oxygen-enriched Combustion Technology used for Ceramic Roller Kiln

For the presence of high energy consumption and high emission in ceramic production, combining with the energy-saving and emission reduction targets of the National Twelfth Five-Year Plan, the advantages of oxygen-enriched combustion relative to normal combustion are analyzed. Concerning the new scheme of the internal burner distribution and new requirements made by combustion control method, the application of oxygen-enriched combustion technology in ceramic roller kiln is studied. The architecture and internal burner distribution scheme of ceramic roller kiln are improved in this study, and a novel combustion control method for oxygen-enriched combustion is used in the combustion experiment. Experimental results show that, with oxygen-enriched combustion, it can achieve complete combustion of the fuel, the flame characteristics conform the firing process requirements, and reduction of NOx emissions with proper O-2 concentration.
