In a major, high-value project – the second at this particular plant in Mexico – NUTEC Bickley will supply a 125m-long tunnel kiln to one of the world’s leading advanced ceramics manufacturers.
Advantages of carbon regeneration kilns
Versatility: The carbon is indirectly heated inside a 253 MA alloy drum that has a variable rotary kiln speed for different carbon feed rates and residence times.
Energy Efficiency: These kilns can be equipped with either a carbon preheater or a heat recovery system to ensure the lowest possible energy usage.
Temperature Regulation: In our carbon regeneration kilns we have the ability to run at higher temperatures so that organic contamination is removed more efficiently. Regenerated carbon is very close to virgin carbon activation levels after treatment.
Increased Capability: We use deep heat transfer blades within the drum to more effectively transfer heat into the carbon. This provides higher carbon bed depths for increased capacities.
Reliability: Steam is injected through the drum at the kiln exit end to aid with the carbon reactivation process and to avoid any oxygen infiltration.
Built to Last: Both the entry and the exit of the drum are supplied with a spring-loaded rotary seal with a graphite impregnated seal medium and with an improved labyrinth system to stop the superelastic carbon from bouncing into the seal face and causing grinding and premature failure of the seal.
Atmospheric Control: Our carefully controlled pressure steam atmosphere ensures that treatment takes place without burning or damaging the carbon.
Highly Specialized: Carbon regeneration kilns are solely used in the gold mining industries.
