Evaluate Kiln Ovalization using FEA​

Ovalization of rotary cement kilns directly affects the structural integrity of the shell and the life of the refractory lining. Excessive ovality can cause premature refractory failure and impact overall kiln reliability. To address this, a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed to evaluate the degree of ovalization in the kiln shell and benchmark it against allowable limits.

The study provided valuable insights into stress distribution and deformation, enabling preventive measures to ensure kiln stability and extend refractory life. See how FEA helped assess and control kiln ovalization in this case study.
