Advanced Process Technology of Cement Manufacturing
Industrial Manufacturing · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of cement manufacturing process technology and standards. It covers the cement plant process and chemistry including pyro-processing, communication engineering, silos & homogenization, heat balance and circulation phenomena, refractories and process control, etc. The Kiln process and systems, and the chemical reaction in Kiln Zones.
Learning Objectives
Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge of cement manufacturing process technology and standards.
Discuss cement process and chemistry pyro-processing, commination engineering, silos & homogenization, heat balance and circulation phenomena, refractories, and process control, etc.
Carry out kiln processes and systems and recognize chemical reactions in kiln zones.
Recognize the effects of the composition of kiln charge and employ the theory of clinkering as well as the ring build up in the cement process.
Enumerate the different types of cement processes in the manufacturing including wet and dry kiln processes, clinker coolers as well as the operations and the optimization of clinker coolers.
Identify cement manufacturing standards including raw materials, liquid phase, fuel types, gas analyzers, new emission and new source performance standards.
Employ optimization techniques of heat consumption as well as the principles of microscopic analysis and API classification of Portland cement.

What do Al-Khobraa industrial and manufacturing courses cover?
The portfolio covers lean manufacturing and Six Sigma, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Kaizen and 5S, production planning and scheduling, industrial automation and control, plant operations and operational excellence — taught by practitioners with real plant experience.
Who should attend an industrial or manufacturing course?
These courses suit production and manufacturing engineers, plant and shift supervisors, operations and continuous-improvement managers, industrial and process engineers, maintenance planners, and quality staff working on throughput, waste or downtime reduction.
How long are industrial and manufacturing courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa industrial and manufacturing courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can industrial and manufacturing training be delivered in-house for our team?
