Your benefits from this course:
The five-day seminar explores the chemistry and quality of cement manufacturing, including the challenges faced by cement plants and the methodology for addressing the interface between kiln operation, raw material chemistry and clinker.
Participants will become aware of the important relationship between raw meal chemistry, fuels, kiln operation, reactivity and clinker-cement quality. Influence of traditional and AFR fuels, combustion, burners, flame shape, cooler operation, and clinker quality. This will contribute to a better understanding of the relationship of pyroprocess system design, combustion capacity, raw feed, operational options.
In addition, it will lead to:
■ Understand the design of the equipment its limitations and expected quality.
■ Optimize and standardize sustainable operating techniques based on combustion capacity, achieving best operation practices.
■ Conduct a comprehensive review and implement the most effective quality solutions to ensure a sustainable and stable operating conditions maximizing performance and product quality.
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.
