Overview

A 6-week modular course designed to give the course attendee a solid understanding of the Pyroprocess system.

The purpose of training the personnel is to create a timely availability of an adequately trained plant staff. This will be done by developing and creating a training program that will sufficiently train the participants by conducting a pyroprocessing training with necessary theoretical presentations to acquaint the personnel with the technology and procedures for operating pyroprocessing systems, including preheater, calciner, kiln, and clinker cooler. It is the intention to provide the participants with knowledge, skills, and understanding of cement production technology concerning:

  • Equipment operation and processes such as the Kiln, Preheater, Calciner, and Burner and Cooler
  • Interlocking and control loops
  • Control philosophy and controls of the systems
  • Safety and Hazard Awareness while operating equipment
  • Process Control and Automation

The course consists of theoretical classroom training, exercises, case study, and a work section.

 

Learning Outcomes

An emphasis on the understanding of the pyroprocess technology system: – Raw Mix Design, Burnability, and Clinker Quality – Optimization of Heat Consumption – Operation and Process Diagnostic Studies and Productivity Enhancement of the Clinker Production – Energy Conservation and Energy Audit in Pyro System – Refractory and Management Practices – Impact of Raw Mix on Coating and Build-Ups and Refractory Performance – Chemical Clinker Analysis – improvement of Burnability Through Use of Mineralizers, Techno-Economic Assessment.

 

Effect of the Training

The outcome of the training will be as follows:

The process of technology transfer, related to the areas mentioned above, will have been completed in such a way as to be directly relevant to the running and operation of the equipment.

The Pyroprocess Operations training participants will acquire knowledge, understanding, and job-related skills, which will enable them to handle and comprehend the delivered technology and equipment.

 

Who is this course for?

This course is primarily intended for process engineers, operators, and production personnel working in a cement plant.
Individual responsibility is vital for reaching usable technical conclusions and presenting their results to obtain a course certificate.
