Not only can we advise on the best kiln for your process, stone and application, we can also help you to optimize or boost kiln output.

We also take into account environmental aspects by maximizing efficiency and minimizing emissions.

Whether considering a new kiln or some changes in parts of the plant (e.g. storage, hydration,briquetting, material handling, etc) our team can advise and provide equipment. This also includes refractories, blowers, filters, etc.

TECforLime fuel injection is smoother and more consistent.
Its has a more accurate adjustment for extreme ambient temperatures and changes in air pressure, more stable idling, decreased maintenance needs and better fuel efficiency.

Inform TECforLime which type of solid fuel your system will burn and we will provide you with the best solution and design. Solid fuels have been extensively used in TECforLime plants for more than 35 years.

TECforLime engineers have designed, installed, commissioned and operated plants around the world that utilize a varied selection of solid fuels.

Carmeuse Group, TECforLime’s mother company, operates more than 50 quarries around the world. Experience from these operations mean that TECforLime is in the best position to help you for the selection of the quarry equipment.

The TECforLime PLC is an industrial system with a reliable software program designed to control the entire production process and handle alarms with minimal operator input. The program is designed to allow the operator to diagnose process issues rapidly.

TECforLime “Geologist Protocol” is one of the services of TECforLime MULTISERVICE PLATFORM. This protocol is based on experience operating more than 50 quarries worldwide in our group.

TECforLime geologist will investigate your open pit quarry or underground quarry.

We assist customers to classify their quarry: From GPS mapping to developing the quarry operation plan study and the quarry design itself up to the offer of equipment and quarry start-up.

This TECforLime service is addressed to both lime producers and stone mining companies.

The Geologist Protocol offers the opportunity to determine whether the physical and chemical characteristics of the stone are suitable for lime production in the selected kiln type.

Once the Protocol results are provided, the customer would have the tools to establish an optimized quarry where the right size of material is supplied to the plant at right time and in the correct quantity.

The Protocol would ensure that a mining company would have a best practice to run a quarry efficiently and satisfy its customers.

Owing to its group company’s presence worldwide, TECforLime has a global stone database. Customer stones can be compared and benchmarked with other stones in the database

The TECforLime Multiservice Platform also offers the Geolab Protocol; this is a combination of the Geologist and Stone Laboratory Protocols.

Stone quality clearly greatly influences the final quality and quantity of lime produced by a kiln.

TECforLime’s core values include the minimization of customer investment and risk in all project phases. For this reason, we offer the customer stone testing and evaluation services based on the TECforLime Laboratory Protocol.

The customer has the opportunity to execute tests in the Carmeuse mother company’s in-house laboratory. Here, our tests have been specially developed over the last 20 years and are used to evaluate and validate different feed stones to determine whether they are suitable for a specific kiln type and what would be the likely lime yield.

The TECforLime Multiservice Platform also offers the Geolab Protocol; this is a combination of the Geologist and Stone Laboratory Protocols.

We can provide advice on fuel conversion, such as the conversion from coal to biomass.

Based on our long experience of operating kilns with varying fuels and understanding the link between fuel type and product quality, TECforLime can help you select the right fuel to meet your process needs.

We can provide engineering and process support during equipment selection, implementation and start-up phases of projects.

TECforLime team would visit your plant and carry out an analysis of its performance. We would provide you with a report detailing conclusions of the audit and recommendations for performance improvements. These recommendations would focus on efficiency, yield, quality, environment, waste and sustainability.

Owing to TECforLime’s experience, the audit can also provide a benchmark of your performance and the potential for optimization.

Material handling plays a very important role in stone mining, lime production and logistics.

The TECforLime “Survey Protocol” is one of the services included under the TECforLime MULTISERVICE PLATFORM.

This protocol is the combined knowledge of materials handling and storage gained through the operation of more than 90 plants and 50 quarries worldwide across our Group.

Material Handling is an integrated part of the production system: The efficient flow of materials is heavily dependent on the plant layout arrangement.

TECforLime can assist you by offering its Survey Protocol for existing plants to modify or optimize Material handling.

In addition, TECforLime can offer material handling engineering design and/or equipment. If a new kiln is foreseen on the project, TECforLime can integrate any material handling aspects within the plant design.

From TECforLime’s MULTISERVICE PLATFORM we can provide Hazard Assessments for your existing and/or new plant.

Choosing TECforLime’s Hazard Assessment, we can identify conditions that can cause harm or damage to humans, property, and the surrounding area.

We have experts who can do an Industrial hazard audit and recommend action plans for improvement.

In case of a plant expansion or improvement (e.g. new fuel system), TECforLime’s Hazard Assessment makes you confident it will be integrated seamlessly into your existing plant.

Pollution from a plant can have adverse effects on humans and the surrounding ecosystem. Pollutants emitted from a plant could be in the form of solid particles, liquid droplets, or gases.

The TECforLime MULTISERVICE PLATFORM proposes services to measure and benchmark customer emissions compared to other existing kilns with similar configuration.

We analyse reasons for high emissions and propose solutions to mitigate pollution of various pollutants such as dust, NOx, SOx, CO, HCL…

TECforLime can assist those customers intending to, or having the responsibility to refurbish a plant.

Owing to our past experiences around the world, we are familiar with many undesirable situations and have a wide knowledge of any repair operations required.

TECforLime’s aim is to provide smart simple solutions  to meet the customer’s desired  goals and time constraints.

We can provide different levels of training aimed at Production Operations Staff, Plant Engineers or Plant Management on your site or at our premises to ensure your operational team has the necessary toolkit to run the plant and the kiln in the most efficient manner.

TECforLime can execute kiln start-ups not only on TECforLime supplied kilns, but will also execute or supervise the start-up phase of any other lime plant, whether a brand new installation or an expansion of an existing plant.

The TECforLime Commissioning Protocol ensures that all  plant systems are installed and tested correctly and are able to operate in accordance to the agreed operational targets.

We offer our Commissioning Protocol not only to TECforLime plants, but can also execute, or supervise, the commissioning phase of any new lime plant or expansion of an existing lime plant.

Said protocol could be applied to new plants, existing units, plant expansion, renovation and revamping.

Our technicians inspect the functionality of every plant component individually to ensure their perfect integration into the entire plant.

The ultimate objective of the TECforLime Commissioning Protocol is to handover a plant to the customer that is reliably running under constant conditions, whilst safely producing the target quality of lime at the desired throughput.

In specific cases, we can also run and operate the plant on your behalf.

If customers are new to the lime production process, or just require additional support during start-up or implementation of process changes, TECforLime engineers can provide remote support on a regular basis to help deal with day-to-day operations.
