Note:Depending upon F.C % in coal, Fines to be feed during raising from 550 deg.c to 750 deg.c & Soaking. If F.C is ( 35 -40%) then feed 300-350 kg. approx in
every 2 hrs. of interval.If F.C is (45-55 %) feed rate will be 200-250 kg in every 2 hrs. of interval. After soaking at 750 to 800 deg. c feed rate of fine coal can be
increased upto process temp.

Raise temperature upto 550 C by firing HSD or LDO inside the kiln,after that coal
1 fines & HSD/LDO to be used. HSD/LDO flow rate to be reduce slowly after coal fine
catches fire.
2 Raise temperature upto operating temperature by coal fines after 750 deg.c.
