Learning objectives

You shall receive an overview of all relevant aspects of the clinker burning process. The aim is that you attain fundamental knowledge of cement manufacturing technology (material and burning technology), including the interconnection of sub-processes, process optimisation, emission abatement and efficient use of energy.
 

Target groups

  • (Young) Engineers
  • Production personnel and technical staff
  • Process engineers
  • Quality and laboratory engineers
     

Topics

  • Raw materials for clinker production
  • Clinker formation and characterisation for cement production
    • Clinker burning reactions, clinker phases and clinker formation
    • Clinker characterization and analysis
    • Clinker properties and effects on cement quality
  • Clinker production and burning technology 
    • Preheater, calciner, burner, cooler
    • Raw meal uniformity and quality control
    • Alternative fuels and effects on the burning process
    • Circulation phenomena (chlorine, sulphur, alkalis)
  • Environment emissions and abatement techniques 
    • Energy effciency
  • Refractories
