NFPA 85, in spite of its pro-forma applicability to the indirect firing coal grinding systems of the cement industry, in reality only covers direct firing for the power generation industry, almost completely neglecting the elements that would form the basis of correct fire and explosion protection of indirect firing grinding systems.
The use of pulverised coal for firing industrial furnaces was pioneered in the cement industry, and the perfection of the technique was a critical factor in the development of the rotary kiln in the 1890s. The desired requirement was for a system that could make cheap coal into a direct replacement for the more expensive fuel oil previously used.
Direct co-firing: The biomass is burnt directly in the existing coal furnace. Direct co-firing can be done either by pre-mixed the raw solid biomass (generally in granular, pelletised or dust form), with the coal in the coal handling system or by the milling it and directly injecting it into the pulverised coal firing system.
In the air-conveyed direct-fired coal pulverizing system, used extensively in the industry today, there normally exists a combustible coal/ air mixture in the burner lines and pulverizer equipment. Hence there is the continual danger of fires and, under certain conditions, explosions.
Firing Systems (Pulverized coal firing) A distinction can be made between direct and indirect firing systems for rotary kilns, with semi - direct firing as an intermediate solution. In direct firing, the coal is ground and dried and then supplied direct i.e. without any intermediate storage, from the mill to the burner.
The mills are usually a constant airflow mill and have a specific output in mass of coal ground depending on coal properties like hardness, moisture, and fineness which affect the mill output. In direct tangential firing systems, the pulverized coal from the coal mills is directly taken to the furnace. Coal properties such as FC/VM (Fixed ...
The existing ball tube mill are not the best equipment for direct firing of high moisture and high volatile coal. In fact: The mill is sensitive to the moisture at the mill inlet It shows a significant reduction of capacity and high plugging probability when …
The Amer 9 plant utilizes both direct and indirect co-firing configurations. The plant co-fires biomass pellets up to a maximum of 1200 kt yr −1, generating 27% by heat through two modified coal mills. Only wood-based fuel has been used since 2006, due to reduced subsidies for agricultural by-products.
Cement Kilns: Firing systems. The use of pulverised coal for firing industrial furnaces was pioneered in the cement industry, and the perfection of the technique was a critical factor in the development of the rotary kiln in the 1890s. The desired requirement was for a system that could make cheap coal into a direct replacement for

Coal milling Question 2. We are having a 1.5Mt six-stage Precalciner kiln operating with South African coal having a VM of 28 per cent. Now we thinking to switch over to Indonesian coal with high VM content (up to 42 per cent) and Chinese coal (VM up to 32 per cent).
Afterwards, direct-firing system of a coal fired boiler is briefly described. An array of electrostatic sensors is implemented as a source of data for further processing. EWMA control chart of treated data was tested in the case of regime transitions of direct-firing system and finally employed for early detection of mill-overload situation.
Reduce fuel cost by using low-cost low-calorific value coal. Less maintenance and longer bag life. Two types of coal firing are used: 1. Direct Firing 2. Indirect Firing. Direct firing is when coal is milled and is directly fed to the kiln. In indirect firing system, coal is milled and stored and fed to the kiln as needed.
Many plants have been retrofitted for demonstration purposes and others have been newly-built to allow for biomass co-firing. There are three different concepts for co-firing biomass in coal boilers. Direct co-firing – The biomass and the coal are burned in the same furnace. The mills for the grinding of the fuel and the burners may be separate.
Heretofore, the following coal firing or burning methods are known: (1) indirect firing, (2) direct firing, and (3) semidirect firing with and without an extra filter. In indirect firing, the in-the-mill coal drying system is operated fully independently of the kiln firing.
Pulverizing system is the main energy-consumption equipment in coal-fired power plant, so it is of great significance to study energy-saving and optimization of pulverizing system. This paper first analyzes the situation and condition of pulverizing system in large-scale coal-fired power plant in China. According to analysis, coal mill and primary-air fan are the two main energy …

Direct Fired Roller Mills Our Direct Fired Roller Mills are a great asset for pulverizing coal and petroleum coke fuel for direct firing into boilers and kilns. These coal mills emphasize system reliability and constant product size control, all while reducing energy costs.
The mills used for coal grinding and drying are either tumbling mills or roller mills. Tumbling Mills. The tube mill or ball mill is especially suitable for the indirect firing system, i.e., where there is no direct connection between mill and kiln and where the pulverized and dried coal is stored in an intermediate bin of ample capacity. Thus the mill can be operated economically at …
Historically the most common firing system is known as the direct-fired system, where coal is dried, pulverized and classified in a continuous stream, and fed directly to the kiln. This can lead to high levels of primary air (up to 40 % of stoichiometric).
the positive-pressure direct-firing pulverizing system comprises an air preheater, an air feeder, a primary air fan, a seal air fan, a coal mill, a tailing separator, a raw coal hopper, a coal...
Direct-fired Kilns. Direct-fired rotary kilns rely on direct contact between the process gas and the material in order to heat the material to the specified temperature. Direct-fired kilns can be either of the co-current design, or counter current design, referring to the direction that the process gas flows through the drum in relation to the ...
Cofiring is achieved in these systems through different methods, but the principles of combustion are similar. In wall firing, the fuel is mixed with combustion air in individual burners. Coal is pulverized in the coal mill to a very fine particle size. The coal and primary air are then introduced to the coal nozzle.
Vertical Roller Mill Coal Pulverizer. Williams Vertical Roller Mill Pulverizers are perfect for coal and pet coke applications requiring fine to ultra-fine particle sizes for direct firing into boilers and kilns. This type of coal pulverizer uses centrifugal force to grind solid fuels while maintaining low operating costs.

Direct firing coal mill systems in the cement industry are becoming rare, as this process causes difficulties in controlling the accuracy of fuel feeding to the burner. The indirect and direct firing system in this context should be distinguished as follows: 8 Direct firing coal mill plant is what is installed in most power generation facilities.
BALL & TUBE MILL Tube mills are employed to pulverize the precrushed raw coal to the required fineness before it is admitted into the boiler furnace for combustion. The operating characteristics i.e. Faster response to Load variation of tube mills make it the best mill available for the direct firing system of the coal. 15.
Direct-firing mills for coal dust are utilised as non-inertised grinding plants for steam boilers. An economical combustion method with reduced emissions (NOx, CO) is achieved in every furnace system through the uniformity of the following parameters: • air distribution • coal dust distribution • grit size distribution • pressure.
