Vulcan® Drying Systems personnel reconditioned and commissioned a plant to a client in Texas to dry cement kiln dust (CKD) in a direct fired rotary dryer. Dust control is required by some local state and federal clean air regulations. Vulcan® Drying Systems provided a knockout box and baghouse to assist with the customer's abatement plan.

The system was designed to process 130 wet TPH of cement kiln dust, a by-product from the manufacturing of Portland Cement, which contains calcium compounds. The system uses a gas-fired burner.
