DTM has created its own preheater cyclone by simulating hundreds of different cyclone variations and has achieved a unique design which satisfies the customer demands such as low pressure drop across stages and low capital investment cost with high separation efficiency. This modern design focuses on the top part of the cyclone, “Snail Part” for separation efficiency & pressure drop and conical part especially for lower stage cyclone to avoid build-ups. DTM’s tailor-made cyclones can be adjusted according not only to the capacity requirement of the preheater tower, but also to the availability of the area inside Preheater Tower. An optimized cyclone modification can result in higher kiln capacity, lower calorific consumption and lower ID fan power consumption.

Modifying snail part of a cyclone can decrease the pressure drop up to 40% and increase the seperation efficiency up to 15%. (the values can be even higher for severe operating conditions)
