Improving Conditions, Qualification and Emission Control in Cement Factories

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

    • Objectives of cement manufacturing fundamental requirements of the cement production in the application.
    • Raw materials for cement manufacture exploration, extraction, processing, and mixing of cement raw materials
    • Pyroprocessing - Chemical, the physical and mineralogical transformation from raw mix to cement clinker
    • Process and equipment evolution for cement clinker manufacture
    • Cement grinding and dispatch. Finishing the cement manufacturing process and satisfying the end-customer
    • Sustainability in cement manufacture. Meeting corporate, customer, social, and environmental obligations in the manufacture of cement

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.
