Abstract
The in situ measurements of O2 and CO simultaneously in cement kilns is a great challenge due to the high temperature of the process and the dust load. A probe is developed for this purpose consisting of a water cooled tube in which are located the solid electrolyte oxygen sensor and a CO mixed potential sensor. In order to prevent the deposition and sintering of raw material the probe rotates 90 ° in certain intervals. Beside coal, gas or oil also municipal waste is used as a fuel. Due to the varying fuel, the demand of oxygen is also changing. The combustion air supply has to adapt very fast in such a way that a minimum in CO concentration is reached and simultaneously the NOx emission can be limited. This was demonstrated by a CEMTEC® probe over years.
