ROTARY KILN COMBUSTION SYSTEMS

Rotary Kiln Combustion Systems from Coen Company

Since 1912 Coen Company has specialized in the design, manufacture, servicing and maintenance of burner
equipment and combustion systems. With thousands of installations worldwide, Coen burner equipment and
combustion systems provide optimum performance in a wide variety of applications.
COEN FOR FLEXIBILITY IN FUEL FIRING SYSTEMS

COENFOR ALTERNATE FUEL CAPABILITY

The burner is an important piece of equipment on any kiln

A Coen kiln burner is well suited and proven for handling alternative

installation, and it must meet the demanding requirements of many

fuels. These alternative fuels can be burned by themselves or

different processes such as lime recovery, cement, magnesite, kaolin,

simultaneously with gas or oil firing. Coen can provide a kiln

and a wide variety of other materials. Coen reviews the specific

combustion system for many types of alternative fuels, such as:

and provides a burner design that will deliver efficient and reliable
combustion. Even for a given process, wide variations in production,

builds into each burner system a wide range of adjustment to allow

the operator to maintain peak production performance at all times.
