Lime addition to the kiln feed reduces the quality of the granules/nodules and causes flow problems in Lepol kilns. For preheater kilns it has been found that direct injection of slaked lime into the flue-gas is less efficient than adding slaked lime to the kiln feed\nb\nWet scrubber\nApplicable to all cement kiln types with appropriate (sufficient) SO2 levels for manufacturing the gypsum",
