  • Patent number: 11421871
    Abstract: There is provided a combustible waste injection device and a method for operating the same which can suppress a landing combustion of a combustible waste and suppress excessive change of a flame state from a cement kiln burner even if a rate of using the combustible waste fluctuates. The combustible waste injection device according to the present invention is provided with a combustible waste flow channel which is arranged in an inner side of the air flow channel in an innermost shell, is installed in parallel to an axial direction of the cement kiln burner device and is provided for flow feeding a combustible waste flow, and an assist air inflow port which can flow an assist air flow into the combustible waste flow channel toward an axis center of the combustible waste flow channel in the vicinity of an injection port of the combustible waste flow channel, and the assist air inflow port is arranged at a plurality of positions in relation to a circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 11306915
    Abstract: A cement kiln burner device includes a powdered-solid-fuel flow channel having means for swirling a powdered-solid-fuel flow; a first air flow channel placed inside the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel to be adjacent to the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel having means for swirling an air flow; a second air flow channel placed in an outermost side outside the powdered-solid-fuel flow channel having means for straightly forwarding an air flow; and a combustible-solid-waste flow channel placed inside the first air flow channel. The second air flow channel is divided in a circumferential direction into four or more opening portions adapted to form ports for injecting air flows, and is configured to control flow rates of the air flows ejected from the opening portions, independently for each opening portion.
