Your benefits from this course:
This seminar is designed to strengthen understanding of the clinker production process and provide practical tools to enhance kiln system performance.
Participants will learn to:
■ Improve clinker quality, productivity, and energy efficiency by mastering the physicochemical process that transforms raw mill feed into clinker. Inclusive will be a group CEMulator® practice on kiln operations
■ Analyze and interpret key operating variables such as temperature, pressure, and gas profiles to ensure stable and sustainable kiln operation.
■ Develop competencies in adjusting operational parameters, identifying and resolving process issues, and optimizing equipment performance.
■ Understand the relationship between process and control variables, evaluate their impact on manufacturing costs, and apply strategies to optimize kiln operation.
■ Standardize operating practices among production teams, supervisors, and control room operators to improve consistency and control.
■ Assess raw material quality, burnability, and variability, and understand their influence on pyroprocess performance and clinker reactivity.
By the end of the seminar, participants will be equipped to run clinker kiln systems with greater stability, efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.
Payment for participation in the seminar is in advance. Cancellation: 0 - 30 days before = 100% of fee; 31-60 days before = 50% of fee; 61 days before = 0% of fee.
