Ziel des Forschungsvorhabens war es, den Einfluss von Nebenoxiden aus Brennstoffaschen auf die Bildungstemperaturen der Klinkerschmelze und auf die damit verbundene Klinkermineralogie herauszuarbeiten. Ebenso sollten die Auswirkungen der verringerten Prozesstemperatur und der veränderten Eigenschaften der Klinkerschmelze auf die notwendige Bildung von Coatingschichten sowie die Feuerfestkorrosion und damit auf die Haltbarkeit der feuerfesten Zustellung in der Sinterzone des Drehrohrofens aufgeklärt werden.

The working plan of the Research Institute of the Cement Industry was aimed at systematic investigation of the mix formulation and workability of a nano-based cement-bound adhesive.

In the IGF (Cooperative Industrial Research) project the framework conditions for a possible performance test method for evaluating the alkali reactivity of concrete was calibrated on the basis of the requirements of the German regulations.

The aim of this research project was the laboratory and industrial production and testing of cements that contain levels of limestone above the maximum content described in DIN EN 197-1.

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly relevant for decision-making, operational excellence and digital transformation. This seminar gives a structured introduction to the fundamentals of AI, providing the basis for deriving strategic implementation approaches in industrial applications. Over three days, the programme combines conceptual foundations with practical industrial perspectives. It supports industrial leaders in understanding the opportunities, limitations and requirements of AI and in assessing how AI can be applied meaningfully in their own organisational context.

This online seminar equips you with the knowledge and tools needed to systematically evaluate CO₂ capture technologies applied to industrial processes such as the clinker burning process. You will be introduced to the key benchmarking methodology and will learn how to assess technical performance, economic feasibility, and site-specific applicability in a structured way. Through practical examples and case studies, you will see how data-driven benchmarking can support informed decision-making on the path toward climate-neutral production.

In this training you will learn how to conduct and evaluate cement kiln and mill trials. Kiln and mill examinations are carried out in order to gather data on the performance and to validate warranty performance data such as the output, the energy consumption, input/output ratio or the efficiency. Using this data as a reliable basis, you can for example optimise individual components of the operating system as well as the cement quality, reduce energy demands as well as emissions, evaluate material cycles and reduce coating formation.
