Carbon Regeneration Kiln

FLSmidth kilns utilise a simple single-tube design and focus on high quality robust equipment to last the life of your mine. Our patented bellows-type mechanical seals with brass running faces maintain a controlled pressure steam atmosphere within the tube and limit exothermic reactions. Dewatered carbon is fed into the kiln via an inclined screw-feeder with integrated drip screen, and the 40-50% entrained moisture in the carbon feed is converted to essential process steam. With the combination of steam atmosphere, conservative heat rate, temperature setpoint, residence time and cooling zone, our kilns ensure regeneration treatment takes place without excessively consuming, burning or damaging the carbon. 

• Our carbon regeneration design philosophy is simple: treat the carbon gently and dont add unnecessary complicated process steps to the system. The result is high reactivated carbon activity with enduring carbon life.
