Boiler Buildings Powerful Fire Protection Systems for Extreme Environments Providing an adequate fire protection solution for equipment such as pulverizers burner fronts and air preheaters means implementing robust suppression systems and highly sensitive detection systems
Coal is often the main fuel source used to heat the cement kiln Coal pulverizers are required to grind the coal from the bulk storage size to a smaller particle diameter to use in the kiln Coal pulverizers significantly reduce the mean particle size of the coal drastically increasing the fire
Mar 01 2013· Coal Fire Detection – Infrared Coal Fire Monitor They can also provide primary information to the installed fire suppression systems claimed there was at least one pulverizer explosion every day in the USA
COAL PULVERIZER FUNCTIONALITY Raw coal is fed into the coal inlet dried and ground to a fine dust on the grinding table Hot air inert gas is used to pneumatically carry the coal dust upward through the classifier and into the transport pipe EXPLOSION HISTORY Loss history for the past ten years due to dust explosions from FM Global Data
One group is the EEI Loss ControlFire Protection Task Force and the other is the PRB Coal Users Group which is colocated with the ELECTRIC POWER Conference and Exhibition In today's business environment many utilities are restricting the number of events and travel of its employees whereas those who support utilities struggle with the costs associated with facetoface time with these utilities
Kidde Fire Systems' products address fire protection and inerting applications for the pulverized coalcoke systems In the conveyance network where the fuel travels through the network CO 2 fire protection is used to suppression fire that can develop between the mill and the dust collector
EXPLOSIONS IN CEMENT PLANTS • Coal is fed into a pulverizer where it is crushed and dried using hot air at approximately 300°F The pulverized coal is then pneumatically transported to the dust collector where the pulverized coal is collected and either fed directly to
