QualiCal Synthesis 40 PRF Lime Kiln at KLK

Köhler Kalk has long been a pioneer in the lime industry, operating the QualiCal Synthesis 40 PRF lime kiln with great success. This kiln, primarily fired with lignite, has proven to be highly efficient and reliable over the years. By transitioning to CarboTechnick’s advanced biomass dosing system, Köhler Kalk aims to further enhance its environmental performance and reduce its carbon footprint.

“Our project builds on this solid foundation, leveraging the proven capabilities of the QualiCal Synthesis 40 PRF kiln to achieve even greater sustainability.” — says Mr. Christian Köhler — KLK Ceo

Pioneering Sustainable Lime Production

The lime industry is at a pivotal juncture where sustainable practices are essential not just for environmental reasons but also for long-term operational viability. The integration of biomass as a renewable energy source plays a significant role in this transformation.

Carbotechnik’s biomass dosing system is a cutting-edge solution designed to optimize the combustion process, reduce CO2 emissions, and enhance overall efficiency. This system not only aligns with global sustainability goals but also positions Köhler Kalk at the forefront of the lime industry’s green revolution.

A Step Towards a Greener Future

Our collaboration with Köhler Kalk is a testament to the industry’s collective commitment to sustainability.

Biomass, as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels, offers a renewable and environmentally friendly energy source. Utilizing biomass in lime kilns significantly reduces the carbon footprint, helping the industry move closer to CO2 neutrality. The advantages are manifold:

  • Reduction in CO2 Emissions: Biomass combustion produces significantly lower CO2 emissions compared to coal or other fossil fuels.
  • Sustainable Resource Utilization: Biomass is derived from organic materials, making it a renewable resource that contributes to the circular economy.
  • Enhanced Kiln Efficiency: Advanced biomass dosing systems, like the one developed by Carbotechnick, ensure precise fuel delivery, optimizing the combustion process and improving overall kiln efficiency.

“This initiative follows in the footsteps of other successful projects, such as our work with QualiCal and CarboTechnick to enhance lime kiln firing systems with innovative solutions aimed at CO2 neutrality.” — says Carlo Cella X4LIME CEO
