Replacement of Hot gas duct and air slides

The replacement of hot gas ducts and air slides involves removing worn or damaged components from the system and installing new ones was required after the existing one collapsed due to aging. This included dismantling existing ducts, structure and air slides which were in a dangerous condition, fabricating new components in a short time, installing new ones with proper alignment and sealing, conducting testing to ensure proper functionality. The aim was to restore the plant operation as early as possible.

Importance of Hot Gas Ducts in Cement Production

 

Hot gas ducts play a crucial role in the cement manufacturing process by transporting hot gases from the kiln and cooler systems to various components, including heat recovery systems and exhaust stacks. The efficiency of these ducts directly impacts the overall energy consumption and performance of the cement plant. Over time, hot gas ducts can suffer from wear, corrosion, and thermal fatigue due to the extreme conditions they endure, leading to reduced efficiency and potential operational disruptions.

 

Common Issues with Hot Gas Ducts

 

1. Corrosion: The high temperatures and aggressive chemical environment within cement plants can lead to significant corrosion of duct materials, compromising structural integrity.
    
2. Thermal Fatigue: Repeated thermal cycling can cause expansion and contraction, leading to cracks and deformation in the ductwork.
    
3. Blockages: Accumulation of dust and particulate matter can obstruct gas flow, reducing efficiency and increasing pressure drop across the system.
    
4. Misalignment: Over time, ductwork can become misaligned due to settling or thermal expansion, leading to increased stress on joints and connections.
