Volumetric Loading

Since clinker capacity is 5000 tons per day, using 2 rotary kilns,

Clinker capacity per kiln = 2500 tpd

Thus,
𝐶𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑒𝑟 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 (𝑇𝑃𝐷)
(TPD/m3)= π * ((D – 2tk) 2 /4) * L

where

D : Diameter of the Kiln (m)

tk : Lining Thickness of the Kiln (m)

L : Length of the Kiln (m)

Note:

*Specific volumetric loading for preheater kilns : 1.6 – 2.2 TPD/m3

*Specific volumetric loading for precalciner kilns of modern design : 4.5 to 7.0 TPD/m3

>> Use 5.75 as Volumetric Loading and L = 11D

2500 𝑇𝑃𝐷
(5.75 TPD/m3)=π * ((D – 2 (0.102)) ^2/4) * (11D)

Therefore:
Diameter of Kiln (D) = 3. 83 m or12.56 ft
And

Length of Kiln (L) = 42.13 m or 138.19 ft

Kiln Effective Cross Section:
