State whether the following is true or false.
A cement kiln can be started and stopped quickly like a boiler.

  • A.False only at small scales
  • B.True
  • C.False
  • D.True only at large scales

Answer: C

Correct answer: False

A kiln contains hundreds of tonnes of refractory that must be heated and cooled slowly, or it will spall and crack from thermal shock. Warming up takes a day or more, and cooling down as long. That is why an unplanned stop is so expensive and why plants run continuously for months between outages.
