Higher Lime Quality, Lower CO₂ Emissions

The challenge in lime production via the calcination of limestone is to ensure optimal heating and duration conditions. Excessive heating results in a high-quality product, but consumes too much costly energy, while insufficient heating results in an off-grade product due to the residue of unreacted limestone. The Lyncis online elemental analyzer feeds a residual limestone percentage to the plant control system in real time, eliminating the delay otherwise caused by the analysis of grab samples in the laboratory, allowing for timely adjustment of heating conditions.
