COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops:-
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Certified Refractory Professional. It covers the definition and importance of refractory in industrial applications; the types of refractories and role of refractories in thermal insulation and protection; the refractory basics covering composition, properties, thermal conductivity, resistance, chemical resistance, durability and physical forms; the refractory classification and thermal properties of refractories; the preventive maintenance, regular inspection and safety considerations; and the safety in refractory operations, refractory material solution and refractory material evaluation.
Further, the course will also discuss the testing requirements, compliance and quality assurance, refractory failure analysis and proper inspection tools and techniques; the design principles for refractory linings, factors affecting refractory performance and thermal design consideration; the integration with industrial system; the refractory installation techniques, refractory anchoring systems and heat-up and dry-out procedures; the inspection during installation, refractory safety during installation, advanced inspection techniques and refractory maintenance strategies; and the refractory repair methods, refractory lining upgrades, inspection after repair and safety during maintenance and repairs.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the refractories in high-temperature applications covering steelmaking, metal refining cement, lime production, glass manufacturing and petrochemical and power plants; the emerging trends in refractories, comprising of nanotechnology, sustainable refractory production, recyclable refractory solutions and innovations in refractory coatings; and the life-cycle cost considerations, performance monitoring and evaluation and end-of-life disposal and recycling.
