Tests Performed During Fabrication of Clinker and Cement

Introduction

The course content will be suitable for a wide range of personnel within a cement manufacturing company including junior/middle management, technicians, production and control room staff, … etc. and also for others who wish to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complete cement manufacturing process.

Objectives

    To extend professional knowledge regarding cement manufacturing technology and to improve understanding of how different factors influence the production process and product quality.

    Learning outcomes:

    • Comprehensive knowledge about state-of-the-art production facilities and cement manufacturing technology
    • In-depth knowledge regarding grinding, burning, and material technologies
    • Better understanding of how different sub-processes are interconnected and influence product properties
    • Fundamental knowledge of production-related topics like maintenance, safety at work, refractories, etc.
    • Improved practical skills to deal with daily operational tasks and cope with process disturbances
    • Knowledge of advanced emissions abatement techniques
    • Familiarity with different possibilities to reduce energy and resources consumption
    • Awareness of diverse process optimization potentials and possible optimization measures

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
