| Benefício | Unidade | Observações | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reliability Factor | +5 | % | Increased combustion efficiency due to less kiln stops |
| Alternative Fuel Rate (AF) | +8 | % | Reduction of petcoke consumption |
| Thermal Consumption (SHC) | -20 (+2%) | kcal/kg | Reduction of petcoke consumption |
| Petcoke / Kiln Feed Ratio | -10 | % | ∑ AF & SHC |
| Ammonia consumption | -92 | % | Reduction of ammonia injection resulting from increased AF rate and increased Kiln stability |
Alternative Fuels
Reliability Factor
Greater combustion efficiency: allows an increase of Alternative Fuels and Reliability Factor.
