Cement plant
There is provided a cement plant including a chlorine bypass apparatus capable of efficiently reducing the chlorine concentration in a cement kiln due to exhaust gas extraction by a small amount, by preventing calciner exhaust gas low in chlorine concentration from contamination and extracting a part of kiln exhaust gas high in chlorine concentration. In the invention, a baffle wall 20 which protrudes, on a lower face 16 a of an exhaust duct 16 of a calciner connected to the pipe inclination part 14 of an exhaust gas pipe 9 rising from a kiln inlet part 2 of a cement kiln 1 , toward a pipe inclination part 14 side at an inclination angle α within a range of 20 to 60° relative to the horizontal plane, and a spacing between a lower end edge 20 a of the baffle wall and an opposite wall plane 14 a of the pipe inclination part is configured such that an average flow rate of the exhaust gas between the both falls within a range of 15 to 35 m/s.
1. A cement plant comprising:
a calciner which calcines the cement raw material preheated by a preheater;
a cement kiln which burns the cement raw material calcined by the calciner;
an exhaust gas pipe which feeds exhaust gas discharged from a kiln inlet part of the cement kiln to the preheater; and
a chlorine bypass apparatus which is connected to the exhaust gas pipe and picks out a part of the exhaust gas,
wherein the exhaust gas pipe comprises:
a pipe inclination part which gradually inclines upward toward a downstream side of the exhaust gas from the kiln inlet part; and
a rising duct which is connected to an upper end part of the pipe inclination part and introduces the exhaust gas to the preheater,
wherein an exhaust duct of the calciner is connected to an upside face of the pipe inclination part, and a gas extracting pipe of the chlorine bypass apparatus is connected to the pipe inclination part between the exhaust duct and the kiln inlet part,
wherein a baffle wall protruding toward the pipe inclination part side on a lower face of the exhaust duct of the calciner at an inclination angle within a range of 20 to 60° with respect to a horizontal plane is formed, and a spacing between a lower end edge of the baffle wall and an opposite wall plane of the pipe inclination part is configured such that an average flow rate of the exhaust gas between the lower end edge and an opposite wall plane falls within a range of 15 to 35 m/s, and
wherein both the inclination angle of the baffle wall and the average flow rate of the exhaust gas prevent gas passing through the exhaust duct of the calciner from entering the chlorine bypass apparatus.
2. The cement plant of claim 1 , wherein the gas extracting pipe is connected to the upside face of the pipe inclination part.
3. The cement plant of claim 1 , wherein the gas extracting pipe is connected to a side face between and the upside face of the pipe inclination part and a downside face of the pipe inclination part.
