Proper washing and dewatering of lime mud being fed to the lime kiln is critical to producing quality reburned lime that is high in both availability and reactivity.  Poorly washed and dewatered lime mud has major negative impacts on energy consumption, formation of rings and balls, and Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) emissions.  Nalco Water ’s industry-leading lime mud dewatering aid can dramatically improve washing and increase mud solids, providing energy savings and increased kiln production.
