Overview

A 5-week modular course is designed to give the course attendee a solid understanding of the kiln maintenance system.

An emphasis on the understanding of the kiln maintenance technology: Kiln alignment, measurement, and consequences of the kiln shell temperature – optimization of kiln run factor– evaluation of kiln behavior based on kiln operation and process diagnostic – Impact of the burnability and kiln reliability – Evaluate, analyze and develop kiln maintenance activities based on failure mode equipment analysis.

Recognizing the importance of life-cycle and kiln reliability and establishing the right maintenance program represents a key element to achieving an optimal kiln run factor and performance.

This course covers the cement plant’s different challenges, an assessment of the plant situation focusing on equipment availability, reliability, and maintenance cost. Understand the equipment design and its limitations. Optimize and standardize preventive maintenance techniques, improve the overall equipment efficiency, and reduce the possibility of equipment failure – review and implement the best maintenance practices to achieve sustainable and stable run time.

This course aims to impart knowledge of maintenance procedures and maintenance instruction and predictive maintenance and condition monitoring techniques. The training will include case studies with actual plant data to improve skills and experience through group works, technical measuring, and individual evaluation and conclusions based on the kiln run-through inspection. The course consists of theoretical training, lectures, exercises, case study, and work sections.

Kiln Maintenance Learning Outcomes

This course gives the participants a more in-depth knowledge of a cement kiln’s components to learn the proper preventive maintenance, addressing essential cost-efficiency issues by focusing on the root cause and failure mode equipment analysis. The course program has been designed to outcome-based knowledge and skill covering real value parameters associated with cement kiln maintenance activities, such as:

  • Understand the equipment design and its limitations.
  • Optimize and standardize preventive maintenance techniques, improving the overall equipment efficiency and reducing the possible equipment failure.
  • Review and implementation of the best maintenance practices to achieve sustainable and stable run time with the equipment.
  • Eagerness and capacity to learn among the participants.

 

Who is this course for?

This course is primarily geared to all kiln maintenance staff personnel focusing on the preventive maintenance area. Future managerial persons, whether from maintenance or production, may also benefit significantly by participating.

Those with little or no prior experience with kiln maintenance will learn to understand, interpret, and use the core concepts of equipment design and their limitations. Gain valuable skills that can be used immediately to analyze and implement preventive maintenance.

Individual responsibility is vital for reaching usable technical conclusions and presenting their results to obtain a course certificate.
