Evolutionary Modeling and Optimization of Grinding Processes

Introduction

Grinding is the most expensive process in the cement industry. Any optimization in its components or techniques is directly translated to cost-saving. The course provides for grinding process details with a focus on key elements with potential optimization, i.e. increase productivity and/or decrease cost. Conformance with specifications and consistent product quality is undoubtedly a main area of optimization.

Objectives

    The course presents also actual cases with exact figures before and after optimization. Grinding Theory and Process Engineering Classes are available to get your company up to speed on the best information and approaches to improving your grinding processes. We can work together to select course modules that meet your company’s needs. Some topic examples are listed below:

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.
