Adequate sizing of the burning line equipment requires a full and perfect knowledge of the raw meal characteristics and behaviour. Five FCB has developed laboratory methods to the evalution of raw materials, using DTA and GTA measurements.
Experiments have beeen performed on cyclones using small scale models in order to improve their design aiming at a low pressure drop and a high separation efficiency.
3-D flow calculations complete the tools for design.
Pilot scale trials have been realised to the design of the Fives FCB precalciner.
