Cement Kiln Refractories Course
Principal refractory performance issues in the rotary kiln, refractory materials,
process efficiency of linings, inspection, repair and maintenance, optimised refractory
usage. A total course for cement production staff who, until now, have only been
able to 'learn on the job'.

Course Material
The Cement Kiln Refractories e-Learning course is intended to fill a gap in the
cement industry where no formal training in refractories is generally available.
Engineers will no longer be obliged to gain their refractories experience 'on
the job', with the inevitable consequence of perpetuating mistakes.
This certified training will provide the accumulated experience of more than 30
years in cement kiln refractory engineering, and will allow informed decisions to
be made regarding selection, installation and maintenance of refractories and refractory
systems.
The course begins with the key principals of refractory materials for cement kilns,
covering selection, installation and maintenance for all sections of the kiln.
Inspection, condition monitoring, preventative and planned maintenance are all covered
and also cement kiln refractory performance benchmarking and the development of
refractory improvement plans. Important relationships between the refractory lining
and process efficiency will be discussed in some detail.
On completion of this course, delegates should have a firm appreciation of the importance
of the many refractory choices to be made in both the rotary kiln and static plant
areas such as preheaters, precalciners, kiln hoods and coolers.
Successful participants will qualify for certification from the Independent Cement
Producers Association and will be much better placed to contribute to improvement
plans within their factories and production lines.
