Process Operation Il Raw Mill Department 1.1 Starting up the Raw mill department Preconditions: + standard simulation state “normal production, RaM stopped” or "normal production, RaM + CoM stopped is loaded. * kiln runs in normal condition. + the following departments of the raw mill are shut down: > group 224.3 (hot gas generator) > group 224.4 (raw mill circulating air) > group 222.1 (raw mill feeding) > group 224.1 (raw mill main drive) + the followirig departments of the raw mill are running: > group 229.1 (electric precipitator) > group 229.3 (hot gas conditioning) + the Kiln hot gas is bypassed concerning raw mill, the damper 229.22 is open, the damper 224.42 (kiln gas to raw mill) is closed. + the damper in front of the mill fan (229.34) is closed + the fresh air flap (224.41) is closed «the setpoint (manual output of controller P224.04, feed to raw mill) is 0. + the setpoint for hydraulic pressure of grinding rollers is 0. the following process controllers are on state "MANUAL": > P224.04, differential pressure across raw mill > P224.23, draught in front of raw mill > F229.02, gas flow raw mill fan > P229,03, draught behind the preheater Start up procedure start of group 224.4 group raw mill circulating air > if the damper 229.21 (flap waste gas behind raw mill) is closed, it needs to be ‘opened little with start up of the group ea ern.rn pe sain Page 5/7Process Operation increase the speed of the mill fan and open the appropriate damper litle (e.g. 30 % speed and 30 % damper position) the gas re circulation in the raw mill circuit | is stimulated ‘open the gas flow of hot gas from kiln (damper 224.42) and open the waste gas damper (229.21) little at the same time reduce the damper position of the raw mill re circulating air (damper 224.43) * adjust the appropriate actuators to heat up the raw mill (e.g. until 120°C , 7224.14) + target values at that time are e.g. > 1224.14 = 130°C > G224.03 = 40% > G229.05 = 40% > G224.02 = 50% the raw mill circulation air is heated up > if the draught behind preheater is impacted too much, the kiln bypass damper 229.22 resp. the speed of the E.P. fan must be adapted | start of group 222.1 group raw mill feeding the transport drives are started, but the weighfeeders are not started yet > the weighfeeders must be started after the mill drive is running, refer to the "?" button and the interlocking info start of group 224.1 group raw mill main drive start again group 222.1 after start of the main drive the weighfeeders will be started step by step increase the raw mill feed, at the same time increase the hydraulic pressure to the grinding rollers Consider the gas circulating temperatures target process values on this step could be e.g. as follows: * raw mill feed to be 100 vh ‘© hydraulic pressure to be 40 bar * kiln gas damper / waste gas damper raw mill both to be at 50 % open position * raw mill fan speed to be 50 % + _damper position raw mill fan to be ~ by increasing the feed the pressure setpoint of the hydraulic system must be adapted accordingly to avoid vibrations at the raw mill > in case of impact on the kiln department adjust the E.P. fan resp. the bypass damper 229,22 > if the draught in front of the mill is too high (e.g. < -10 mbar), open the recirculation damper 224.43 > the raw mill outlet temperature is to be stabilised at appr. 90-100°C Da. sot es pate Page 6/7Process Operation 50% * recirculation damper to be 40% ‘* raw mill bypass damper to be 80 % proceed increasing the raw mill load and consider the environment conditions during start up the bypass damper will be closed completely * full production capacity of the raw mill is appr. 380 Uh | target process values on this step could be e.g. as follows: + raw mill feed to be 380 th * hydraulic pressure to be 100 bar + kiln gas damper / waste gas damper raw mill both to be at 80 % open position * raw mill fan speed to be 80 % © damper position raw mill fan to be 80% * recirculation damper to be 100% + raw mill bypass damper to be closed * frésh air inlet in front of E.P. to be closed > if the gas temperature behind raw mill _| exceeds the MAX 2 limit, the main drive will fail and must be restarted > in order to avoid too strong influences on kiln operation the draught profile at the kiln must be monitored, the speed of the E.P. fan need to be adapted optimisation of raw mill operation by adjustment of separator ( 50 % speed at start up) and gas flow to reach the target quality after the steady state is reached, the controllers can be switched to mode "AUTO" * P224.04 (differential pressure across the mill) * F229.02 (gas flow behind raw mill fan) + P229.08 (draught behind preheater) Page 7/7
