INTRODUCTION

The mill installation is supplied with materials, gas flow and heat energy. The mass, gas and heat balances for the mill system should be in equilibrium. There are various reasons for which it is of interest to know the mass and heat balance. These are: A. Planning of the production B. Control of the material quality C. Control of the process D. Development of heat balances E. Optimisation of energy consumption F. Process optimisation In this module the significance of mass and heat balance and relevant factors identified for calculating mass and heat balances will be described. The subjects will be covered in the following order:  Mass Balance  Gas Balance  Heat Balance

MASS BALANCE

The major part of planning the production, control of the quality and control of the process is based on mass balances. The mass balances can be calculated as total balances or partial balances. All of them can be divided in non-equilibrated and equilibrated balances (See Figure1). This section will deal with the following aspects of mass balance:  The general system  Total mass balance  Partial balances

1.2.1

The General System

The general system of the mass flow is shown on Figure 2. The total quantity of material A(t) in the system, which has CjA(t) concentration of component "j", is a sum of the different material flows In(t), which have different concentration of common component "j". The output of the system consist of different flows Ok(t), which have different concentration of component "j".

The total mass balance is described as: INPUT = OUTPUT + ACCUMULATION and the general equation is: N

There are two principal cases of the above mentioned equation:  Non-equilibrated (time-dependent) system.  Equilibrated or stabilised system (independent of time).

The first one is very complicated, and is normally limited to considerations on large time horizons, f. ex. daily, weekly, and monthly balance of the production, contents of stocks, etc. The second case is less complex, and the equation is reduced to: N

This mass balance can represent output from mills, kilns, crushers etc. at a stabilised production. Figure3 shows the raw mill system, where the mill is fed with lime-stone, marl and sand, and supplied with drying air. Mill output consists of raw mix and humid air. A typical example is shown on the "Raw Mill Production Summary" (see Figure 4).

The component balances can also be divided in non-equilibrated and equilibrated systems. The non-equilibrated component balance requires a large amount of information f. ex. process control on filling of pre-homogenising stores, where a fixed quality is required. In cases where the flows and concentrations do not vary in relation to time (equilibrated component balances), the general equation is reduced to:

This equation is used for programming and proportioning purposes (assuming that the quality of the raw materials is known) such as raw material proportioning, proportioning of stockpiles, programming of quarry work and control of the dosage of gypsum to the cement mill. The last one is shown in Figure 5.

Figure 5 Dosage of Gypsum to a Cement Mill.

There are no chemical reactions; therefore, this is a component balance, whereby the general rule is valid: INPUT = OUTPUT + ACCUMULATION In this case there is no accumulation, and the result is: INPUT = OUTPUT Component balance for SO3: INPUT N

The molecular balances are very difficult to handle, taking into consideration that chemical reactions take place in the system. The same is the case for non equilibrated molecular balances, where no chemical changes occur.

1.3

GAS BALANCES

This section will cover the following points:  General Theory.  Measurement and calculation of gas flow.  Determination of gas flow.  False Air Calculation.

1.3.1

General Theory

The major part of the process which takes place during the burning of cement clinker involve gases, for example: a)

Drying of raw materials and coal In general, the drying processes are affected by heat exchange between hot gases and moist solid materials. The heat transferred to the solid phase evaporates the moisture which subsequently is transferred as water vapour to the gas stream.

b)

Heating In the cement industry, heating takes place by combustion during which hot gases are formed and heat content exchanged with a solid phase.

c)

Cooling In the cement industry, two main types of cooling takes place; one is cooling by gases and the other is cooling by evaporation of water.

d)

Transport In various types of equipment, air or gases are used to transport powdery materials e.g. air slides, screw pumps, Flux pumps, air lifts etc.

As it was mentioned in section 3.1, there are various reasons for which it is of interest to know the gas flows which circulate between the different systems. The gas balances are formed on the basis of total balance in the system. During the process, it is possible that certain FLSmidth 2009, all rights reserved

compounds change phases in such a manner that part of the solid material in the system leaves in the form of gases. The reasons for that are chemical reactions such as decarbonisation or physical-chemical reactions such as evaporation. Sometimes it is possible to separate the balance of water/vapour from the gas balance. In this way three balances are developed on basis of the total balance: A. Balance of dry solids B. Balance of moisture/water/vapour C. Balance of dry gases Based on the three balances, one balance of solids may be calculated. This balance comprises the balance of dry solids and the part of the moisture balance for the water or moisture which has not evaporated. In the same manner it is possible to calculate the total gas balance, i.e. the balance of dry gases plus the part of the moisture balance that comprises the vapour, i.e. the water evaporated during the process. The total gas balance in the system contains several unknown variables. These variables must be determined on the basis of specific measurements. In order to determine the total balance, the following specific measurements are performed: A. Determination of the gas composition by:  Gas analyzer.  Determination of the dew point temperature. B. Determination of gas quantities by:  Pitot tube measurements.  Fan performance curves.  Measurement of pressure losses. The most appropriate measurements depend on the particular situation and should be decided in each actual case. 1.3.2

Measurement and Calculation of Gas Flows

In cement factories, there is a great need to find out the different air and gas flows through mills, kilns, coolers and filters.

To determine these flows several measurements and calculations exist, and they will be presented as follows:  Calculation of specific gravity of a gas.  Humidity and dew point.

1.3.2.1

Calculation of Specific Gravity of a Gas

The specific gravity of a gas depends on:  Chemical composition  Physical conditions. As a point of reference for the physical conditions used: 0oC and an atmospheric pressure of 10333 mm WG (pressure at sea level). The specific gravity, ρot, of a dry gas under these conditions, is calculated on the basis of the volumetric percentages of its content of CO 2, O2, CO and N2:

 ot  0,01  1,965  CO2  1,429  O2  1,250  CO  1,251 N 2

If no gas analyses exist, the values from the following table can be used. Specific gravity and heat Specific gravity 3 kg/Nm * kg/m3 kg/m3 ρot (90oC) (100oC) 1,293 0,97 0,95 1,40 1,05 1,02 1,30 0,98 0,95 0,80 0,60 0,59

If the physical conditions are different from the reference conditions (10333 mm WG, 0oC), the following formula is used to find the specific gravity of the actual condition.

where t is the actual temperature, measured in oC, p is the relative pressure (in duct), b is the barometric pressure which depends on the altitude h, in m, above sea level, and which is calculated as:

In this way, it is possible to calculate the specific gravity of any dry gas, on condition that its chemical composition, temperature and barometric pressure are known.

1.3.2.2

Humidity and Dew Point

The dew point is an important value because a decrease in the gas temperature to a value below dew point will cause condensation of the water vapour and may result in problems during operation. The dry bulb temperature refers to the intensity of the heat content of substance as measured with a common thermometer in degrees.

Grasim Industries

Mass and Heat Balances

The wet bulb temperature is a method for determining the amount of moisture in air or gases. This is accomplished by using a standard, common thermometer with a wick or a sock on the sensing element (bulb). With the wick wet with clean water the thermometer is inserted into the gas stream or whirled through the air to create air movement over the bulb and wick. The resulting cooling effect from the evaporation process lowers the thermometer reading. The temperature will drop corresponding to the rate of evaporation, which will be determined by the amount of moisture in the air or gas stream. The more moisture there is present in the air, the slower will the rate of evaporation be, thus resulting in higher wet bulb reading.

The dew point temperature is defined as the temperature at which air is 100% saturated with moisture and the moisture begins to condense out of the air. When air or gas steam is cooled it becomes denser and, therefore, can hold less moisture. When the air is cooled to the temperature at which it cannot hold any more moisture, it is 100% saturated, and this represents the dew point temperature. The relation is shown graphically in Figure 7 (Dew Point Temperature). It should be pointed out that in lowering the temperature of the air until the dew point is reached, the moisture content of the air does not change. However, each change in the temperature changes the percentage of humidity in the air, since the ratio of moisture in the air to the amount of moisture the air can hold changes with the temperature.

Figure 7 Dew Point Temperature.

Humidity is a term used to describe the presence of moisture in the air. The amount of moisture that the air will hold depends upon its temperature. The warm air will hold more moisture than the cold air. FLSmidth 2009, all rights reserved

Relative humidity refers to the amount of moisture in a given volume of air compared to the amount of moisture the air would hold if completely saturated at the temperature at which the comparison is being made. The relative humidity is expressed in percentage. Absolute humidity is the ratio between the amount of water and gases expressed as kg H2O per kg gas. If the units are moles, then the ratio expresses the absolute molar humidity. In most cases the molar ratio is more convenient to use, due to the fact that it is easy to make conversions between molar and volume ratios on basis of the ideal gas laws. Determination of the absolute humidity may be done graphically by using Figure 8 (Water Vapour in Air and Gases). The graph shows the ratio between water and dry gas amount wo and the ratio between the water and wet gas amount y = wo/(1+ wo).

The determination of gas humidity can be made in the following way: a) Measure the temperature of the dry and the wet thermometers on the chosen gas and water vapour mixture. b) Look up the figure "Dew Point Temperature". The dew point is then found at the coordinates given by the wet and dry thermometer temperatures, respectively. The value of the dew point temperature is determined by interpolation between the curves ranging from 0 to 80oC. c) When the dew point has been determined as described in points a) and b) proceed to Figure 8.

CO2 (as determined by Orsat analysis). Then follow a horizontal line from the intercept to the ordinate axis, where the absolute humidity in kg vapour per kg dry gas can be read. If it is required to determine the molar humidity, then the above value should be converted to a volume ratio at the required conditions by using the corresponding water and gas densities. d) Knowing the absolute humidity of the gas wo, it is possible to calculate the specific gravity of the moist gas, - i.e. dry gas + water vapour, according to the following formula:

1.3.2.3

Evaporation of water

Evaporation of water (transformation from liquid into steam) can happen not only when the water is boiled at 100 °C. The evaporation heat for the water heated up to 100 °C is 539 kcal/kg, Since the heat, used for heating the water to 100 °C, is 100 kcal ( specific heat 1 kcal/kg), the total heat consumption will be 639 kcal/kg. Knowing the specific heat for the steam between 0 °C and 100 °C, it is possible to calculate the evaporation heat at the temperature lower than 100 °C (see figure 9). If we assume that the average specific heat of the steam is 0.44 kcal/kg, the evaporation heat at 0 °C will be:

H e0  H e100  100  0,44 *100  595kcal / kg The total heat for evaporation of the water at 80 °C can be fide as:

He80  H e0  0,44 * 80  630,2 kcal / kg Attention: The values of the specific heat and heat of evaporation can vary, depending of the used basis sources.

Determination of Gas Flows

Various methods can be used to determine a gas flow, such as: A) Measurements with Pitot tube B) Fan characteristics C) Heat balances. In this lesson, the methods A and B are treated, while C is treated separately.

1.3.3.1

Measurement with Pitot Tube

The measuring point is very important for the reliability of the measurement when D is the diameter of a duct. There should not be curves, dampers or other obstructions in a distance of minimum 5 x D before and 2 x D after the measuring point. If possible, a point with small dust load and maximum distance to cyclones, separator and fans should be chosen. The total pressure, p, is the sum of the dynamic pressure, pd, and the static pressure, ps. p = pd + ps Grasim Industries

With the Pitot tube all three types of pressure can be measured by connecting simple manometers to the Pitot tube in the following way: p: ps: pd :

manometer connected to + manometer connected to manometer connected to + and -

To eliminate the effects of a non-laminar airflow, it is necessary to take measurements in the whole cross section of the duct to get a reliable average value. In practice, a set of measurements are made according to the duct diameter, as shown on page 19. The dynamic pressure is calculated as an average of the

Knowing the dynamic pressure it is possible to calculate the air velocity in the duct, v, as:

where f is dynamic pressure correction and ρ is the specific gravity of the gas. f = 1 for normal Pitot tube, f = 0,7 for S-type (normally marked on the tube) – see figures 10a and 10b) Knowing the air velocity the air or gas flow in the duct can be calculated as:

Fan Characteristics To determine the air flow in a system by means of fan characteristics the following rules and procedures should be used: Rule No. 1: Fan characteristics are valid only at the conditions given together with the curves (fan revolutions, temperature, pressure and specific gravity). Rule No. 2: Because of rule No. 1, it is necessary to distinguish between diagram and actual values:

False Air Calculation

When considering the air flow participating in the overall clinker burning process, which are schematically represented in Fig 15, an important factor must always be taken into consideration. This factor is the so-called false air (also known as parasite, in-leaking or infiltrating air). False air enters through badly closed openings, e.g. mill inlet seal, inspection doors, dampers, etc.

Figure 15 Schematic Representation of Gas Flows in the Kiln System.

This in-leakage should at all times be kept at a minimum, since it cuts down the efficiency of the system fan. The cold false air may also cause an undesirable temperature drop to below the dew point which may cause condensation and eventually result in corrosion problems. The extra volume of air which the system fan has to transport requires extra power to drive this fan. It can be calculated that a false air quantity of 40 % may result in an extra power consumption FLSmidth 2009, all rights reserved

27

Grasim Industries

Mass and Heat Balances

consumption of the system fan of about 40 %, which is a significant inefficiency of the system. It is thus of importance at all times to maintain an effective sealing of all unnecessary openings. The quantity of false air is usually determined on the basis of O2 or CO2 analyses by using the Orsat apparatus at any two given points in the system. False air is usually expressed in per cent of unmixed gases at the inlet measuring point. In the calculations, atmospheric air is reckoned to contain 0 % CO2 and 21 % O2. In the calculations the term "gas" signifies the unmixed gases and the term "mixture" signifies the mixture of gases and false air. At the measuring point I is found: QI O2,I

corresponding to a total oxygen quantity of:

At the measuring point II is found: QII O2,II

A calculation of the false air which infiltrates the system between points I and II can then be determined according to: False Air = QII - QI 0,21 · (QII - QI)

HEAT BALANCE

1.4.1

Introduction

Now and then it is useful to establish a total material- and heat (energy) balance of the mill system. This is a rather elaborated calculation, however, it gives one of the most complete description of the operating system. The balance itself is based on the conservation of energy i.e. ENERGY (input) = ENERGY (output + accumulated) If we consider the mill as the system, it becomes basically a question of determining the heat content flowing into and out of the system. Apart from electrical power input all major energy exchanges are directly related to the heat transfer.

NOTE: The accumulated energy - i.e. the energy used to create new surface - is negligible according to the low efficiency of the grinding process (less than 1 %).

1.4.2

Heat Balance for the Mill System

To establish the heat balance an arbitrary standard condition of 0oC and 760 mm Hg are normally used. Still it is common to calculate in kcal/h. The system may consist of any subpart of the total mill system. Figure 18 shows a mill system with typical input and output components.

Input Material to the mill will be the heat content of the total dry feed. For close circuit the separator is normally not included, i.e. the return has to be considered as feed. Heat content of raw materials, clinker and other components ( e.g. gypsum) can be found from tables. 1.4.2.1

Air to the mill is an atmospheric air for the cement mill. For the raw mills it will often be solely kiln gases, or a mixture of kiln gases and auxiliary heat generator air. Coal mills use of atmospheric air or kiln gases will depend on the used system ( non-inert atmospheric air, inert kiln gases ). In the calculation a consideration of false air amount entering the system should be made. The water calculation should include moisture in the feed components and water injected into the mill (cement mills). The power supplied to the mill should be converted to kcal/h : 1 kWh = 860 kcal. Output The material can always be calculated by a simple mass balance. The air will contain a total air out of the system ( together with the false air). The water will include heat consumption of the residual moisture in the material and evaporated water as vapour. The heat losses are mainly surface losses from the mill shell, and depend on the surface temperature. Normally the surface loss for the ball mill is calculated as 600 kcal/h·m2. Examples of heat balance calculations are attached to this Module in Appendix IV. 1.4.2.2

1.5

CONCLUSION

Correct balances of mass, heat and gases in a ball mill grinding system are of considerable importance. Balances that are not properly checked and maintained can cause malfunctioning of the grinding system and also cause excessive power consumption. In this module problems of mass and heat calculations have been introduced and the proper solutions given. It is recommended to train additionally with problem solving by using the CBT pertaining to the module.
