Advanced Process Technology of Cement Manufacturing

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. Further, the course will also discuss the effects of the composition of Kiln charge, the theory of clinkering, the rings and build-up in the manufacturing including the wet and dry Kiln process, clinker coolers and the operations and the optimization of clinker coolers, the cement manufacturing standards including raw materials, liquid phase, fuel types, gas analyzers, new emission, and new source performance standards, the optimization techniques of heat consumption, and the principles of microscopic analysis and API classification of Portland
