The lime industry is both energy and carbon intensive. However, unlike most carbon intensive industries, the majority of lime emissions are not generated by heat or power generation but by the chemical reaction that occurs when limestone is heated (Limestone + Energy = lime + CO2, or CaCo3 + energy =CaO + CO2). — Limestone Calcination Lime is a critical chemical for key end-use industrial applications such as metallurgy, construction, chemicals, and environmental. The primary application of the product is in steel manufacturing. It serves as a flux promoter and brings about the separation of impurities such as silica and phosphorus by slag formation. It is…

#NEVERSTOPINNOVATING is QualiCal Corporate vision focused on the R&D activities driving the progress in the lime field. — While every engineering component plays an important role in the smooth functioning of a Lime kiln, there are a few key components that are so vital, that the non functioning of these key components would make the lime kiln inoperable, leading to long downtimes and ultimate waste of resources. …

The Plant installed at the New Braunfels-Texas facility has a capacity of 30 stph and is realized according to the #neverstopINNOVATING QualiCUBE® state of the art. — In 2020, just before the COVID emergency started, Lhoist North America confirmed new order to QualiCal for a complete QualiCUBE Hydration plant LHOIST CHOOSES QUALICUBE® Lhoist North America confirmed new order to QualiCal for a complete QualiCUBE Hydration plantmedium.com

Cal.DO heat recovery project is a key milestone on the road to sustainable production, as it will contribute significantly to reduce energy-related emissions well before 2030. — Ecological impact of waste-heat recovery Industrial waste heat is also a kind of renewable energy. The world-wide potential is not known yet. QualiCal provides an eco-friendly, cost-efficient and highly scalable, modular thermal energy recovery system. A cornerstone for the transition to renewable energy.

A sustainable lime production is focused to improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally. — Ecological impact of water recovery QualiCal is engaged to substantially increase water-use efficiency across lime sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity.

QualiCal provided Aerzen air compressor DELTA HYDRID technology, reaching maximum energy efficiency at Köhler Kalk new lime PFR kiln — Hybrid blower solution reduces energy consumption Within PFR lime kiln, the combustion air is guaranteed by a numbers of rotary lobe compressor in order to guarantee a consistent air flow at any production rate. Air compresso is also used for producing cooling air at the kiln discharge.

There is a great need for strengthening of research in production of limestone based products, especially in the high temperature processes where substantial amounts of carbon dioxide is generated. The Centre for Sustainable Cement and Quicklime Production joins a strong research environment with QualiCal in quicklime production. — Decreasing the use of fossil fuels as the primary energy resource for any industrial process is a means to reducing that process’s carbon dioxide emissions. It is self-evident, however, that only the most cost-effective approach for CO2 abatement will be used by industry.

Carbotechnik as specialist in dosing and combustion of solid fuels gives the best know-how to all different types of lime kilns, e.g. the very efficient PFR kilns of QualiCal, in order to guarantee the best performance of the kiln and therefore best quality of the burnt lime stone. — QualiPOOL — an hystory of co-operation As exclusive partners in the QualiPOOL, QualiCal and Carbotechnik cooperate since 2006 and have installed already 10+ new PFR kilns with solid fuel as main combustible worldwide successfully.

#NEVERSTOPINNOVATING is QualiCal Corporate vision focused on the R&D activities driving the progress in the lime field. — QualiCal identified the PFR, Parallel Flow Regenerative technology, as the best for the CALCINATION in vertical lime kilns and for this reason we implemented this technology in the very original design of the Synthesis® TWIN SHAFT LIME KILN. Synthesis design is original, and a patent is pending, because the shape…
