Abstract:
Padalarang is located in Cipatat District, Bandung Regency, known as the largest limestone producing area in Indonesia. Limestone mining activities and processing industries are very potential, starting from the marble stone industry, quicklime industry (CaO) to calcium oxide industry (Ca(OH)2). One product of limestone processing is calcium lime (CaO), the result of the calcination process of limestone, on burning limestone that requires large heat. The combustion activities in the majority of the limestone industrial using traditional technology use upright stoves with an open burning combustion system. The fuel used is textile industry waste, shoe industry plus wood waste. The pilot activity of the application of upright furnace limestone combustion technology is a periodically upright combustion system with fuels that have high calorific value, coal and wood. The purpose of mixing this fuel is to use available wood and coal having high calories. This activity also provides education about limestone combustion systems using coal and wood.
The application of limestone combustion technology using mixed fuels of coal and wood produces quality limestone with dry conditions with an average combustion temperature of 93.75 oC and compared to using wood fuels and industrial waste produces limestone in dry moist conditions 86.33 oC.
