Drying Unit - Implemented in DyssolPro

Rotary Kiln Simulation for Calcination Flowsheets

Model calcination rotary kilns as part of a larger solids process. Connect feed preparation, drying, separation, and downstream handling in one dynamic flowsheet.

The DyssolPro unit library lists calcination rotary kiln, and the zeolite-production example uses rotary-kiln calcination in an end-to-end Dyssol flowsheet.

Calcination rotary kiln in the library

A kiln page for process-level studies, not isolated equipment sizing.

Use rotary-kiln models where calcination affects downstream product properties and the kiln must be evaluated together with upstream units.

Implemented unit

Calcination rotary kiln

Rotary kiln unit for solids flowsheets with thermal treatment or calcination steps.

Application context

Downstream production lines

Dyssol examples connect synthesis, decanter washing, spray drying, and two-stage rotary-kiln calcination.

Rotary kiln inside the process chain

Evaluate calcination with the surrounding process rather than as a disconnected block.

Connect upstream solids preparation

Bring in the material state produced by synthesis, drying, classification, or storage units.

Track product-property changes

Keep particle-centered properties available across the flowsheet for downstream analysis.

Extend the model where needed

Use Model Maker or DyssolTEC services for project-specific kiln correlations and reaction logic.

Rotary-kiln study scope

Useful when calcination is part of a coupled process line.

What DyssolPro brings

Capabilities that matter for kiln process teams.

Dynamic flowsheet simulation

Time-dependent simulation for startup, shutdown, batch, semi-batch, and continuous operating scenarios.

Multidimensional solids properties

Particle-centered modeling with interdependent properties such as size, composition, and moisture across connected units.

Population-balance workflows

PSD tracking and transformation-matrix workflows for process studies where particle size distribution matters.

Custom model development

Model Maker supports implementation, testing, and validation of company-specific unit models.

Typical engineering studies

Common studies for calcination projects.

Operating-window studies

Compare parameter sets inside the connected process instead of studying one isolated apparatus.

Sensitivity analysis

Use the integrated sensitivity analysis tool for implemented process units in DyssolPro.

Optimization studies

Evaluate process settings against target product properties or process-performance metrics.

Custom-model extension

Extend the model library when a project needs proprietary correlations, geometry, or company-specific logic.
