Lime Slaker Heating System | Efficient and Stable Lime Hydration Solutions by Cronus

Lime slaking is a crucial process in various industries including water treatment, flue gas desulfurization, and chemical manufacturing. Efficient lime slaker heating is essential to ensure complete and consistent hydration of quicklime (CaO), minimize energy waste, and reduce maintenance downtime. At Cronus, we provide high-performance lime slaking systems with precise heating control, delivering reliable operation and superior slaking results.
What Is Lime Slaker Heating?
Lime slaker heating refers to the controlled application of thermal energy to the lime-water reaction during slaking. Since quicklime reacts exothermically with water to form calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), maintaining optimal temperature and moisture levels is key to preventing under-slaking, over-slaking, or incomplete reactions.
Proper heating ensures:
- Uniform slaking reaction
- Reduced dust and overspray
- Enhanced reactivity of hydrated lime
- Longer equipment life
