COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Cement Production & Quality Control. It covers the cement industry; the history and evolution of cement industry; the cement manufacturing process flow, raw materials for cement and raw material preparation; the raw mill and grinding systems; the types of grinding mills, grinding aids and their effects, process control parameters and mill operation and troubleshooting; the sampling and material testing techniques and the preheater and precalciner systems, rotary kiln operations, clinker chemistry and mineralogy, fuel management in cement kilns, coolers and clinker handling. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the kiln performance monitoring, cement grinding technologies, cement additives and their role and blended cement production; the cement storage and packing, final product testing and quality and control of cement quality; the quality control management system, XRF/XRD in cement industry, physical testing lab setup and statistical process control (SPC). 

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the root cause analysis in quality deviations, calibration and maintenance of instruments, energy efficiency in cement plants and process optimization techniques; the emission monitoring and control, alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR); troubleshooting of common production issues; the raw mill vibration and blockages, klin rings; and the coating formation, cement strength drop and setting failures, bag house and cooler issues
