Introduction
These courses can be delivered either as open public training courses or in-house and typically involve additional study, assignments, and assessments. Not only do these training courses prepare you for the qualification but they also focus on providing practical skills and techniques which are directly transferred to the workplace.
Objectives
- 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
- Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on cement manufacturing process technology and standards.
- Discuss cement process and chemistry pyro-processing, commination engineering, silos & homogenization, heat balance and circulation phenomena, refractories and process control, etc.
- Carryout kiln processes and systems and recognize chemical reactions in kiln zones.
- Recognize the effects of the composition of kiln charge and employ the theory of clinkering, as well as the rings, build up in the cement process.
- Enumerate the different types of cement processes in the manufacturing including wet and dry kiln process, clinker coolers as well as the operations and the optimization of clinker coolers.
- Identify cement manufacturing standards including raw materials, liquid phase, fuel types, gas analyzers, new emission, and new source performance standards.
- Employ optimization techniques of heat consumption as well as the principles of microscopic analysis and API classification of Portland cement.
To extend professional knowledge regarding cement manufacturing technology and to improve understanding of how different factors influence the production process and product quality.

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.
Who Should Attend?
- Young engineers
