part on a rotary lime kiln
Same job as my previous query - a Hazop report on the firing processes of rotary lime kilns, written by a Quebec-based engineer. The full entry (in the Hazop worksheet) is "porte à galette et motton ouverte". Would the galette be some sort of "cake" that's formed after the calcination? Again, many thanks.

Large lump lime--a maximum of eight inches in diameter.
Crushed or pebble lime--ranging from about ¼ to 2 ½ inches.
Ground lime-- ¼ inches and smaller.
Pulverized lime--a typical size is substantially all passing a No. 20 sieve.
Pelletized lime--one inch sized pellets or briquettes, molded from fines.
