Abstract: Process and furnace (10) for producing clinkered cement pellets from pellets for cement-forming batch materials without melting, fusion and agglomeration of said pellets. The furnace comprises an elongate vertical suspension shaft (13) having top, intermediate and bottom portions. Pellets are fed at the top (15) and heated to calcining temperatures before exiting the shaft into a pre-clinkering zone beyond the bottom. The pellets are heated to pre-clinkering temperatures and deposited on a porous pellet bed (23) through which cooling air (26) is forced to control the exothermic clinkering reaction and to regulate the speed at which the pellets migrate through the shaft.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting anomalies in ferrous pipe structures is presented. A sensor having one or more sensor shoe members is placed in the interior of a ferrous pipe structure to be inspected. Each sensor shoe member has one or more magnetic field generating apparatus, with a three-axis fluxgate magnetometer for detecting magnetic fields in the region of the ferrous pipe structure adjacent to which the sensor shoe member is placed. Any magnetic fields in the pipe structure, whether imposed externally, or remnant, which are detected, are sensed and resolved into components in three mutually orthogonal directions for enhanced accuracy.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for creating a stable combustion flame from natural gas and an oxygen containing gas which is useful for the pyrometallurgical treatment of finely divided materials such as metal ores. In particular, natural gas and the oxygen containing gas are injected in a manner which forms recirculation zones (92, 95) between the natural gas and oxygen containing gas thereby maintaining the stability of the combustion flame. The apparatus of the invention encourages the formation of the recirculation zones (92, 95) by using a bluff body orifice plate (88) to provide a dead space between the injections of the oxygen containing gas and natural gas. Additional gas injection is used downstream in the combustor to create turbulence and further stabilize the combustion flame.
