| | Modernising the annular shaft kiln with wood-fired side burners |  |
|
| An annular shaft kiln at the Unicalce Lecco/Italy site was upgraded with six side burners. Prior to the retrofit, biomass feeding to the combustion chambers was limited due to high combustion temperatures, which damage the refractory lining. With the addition of the six side burners, lime quality improved greatly, while biomass input was increased by 27% without increasing NOx emissions. [Graph: Maerz Ofenbau AG]
