Training


Seminars

Firing Alternative Fuels 2026

In this training you will become familiar with all relevant aspects concerning the use of alternative fuels in cement plants. Starting with the main political drivers such as the circular economy and the European waste fuel strategy, you will get a detailed insight into the current state-of-the-art-situation with regard to the use of alternative fuels in the EU. In this context, pre-treatment and suitable quality control of alternative fuels will be also explained and presented to you. You will focus on all the relevant aspects of the use of alternative fuels in the burning process (e.g. drivers and barriers of their use, available process technology and latest developments) and discuss them in the sessions. You will acquire knowledge about technical feasibility and optimisation potential, and have the possibility to discuss case studies.

Seminars

Burning Technology in Cement Production

Clinker production is the most energy-intensive process step in cement manufacturing. It can represent up to 90% of the total energy demand in a cement plant and is therefore a main focus not only with regard to cost optimisation and quality improvement of the final product, but also regarding emission control and the reduction of impacts on the environment. VDZ’s training will enable you as participant to obtain a deeper knowledge of the clinker production process and a better understanding of how the daily decisions can impact the overall performance of the plant (quality, electrical energy use, fuel consumption and emissions).

Seminars

Basics of Cement Chemistry

This seminar will give you a practical overview of the fundamentals of cement chemistry and the main product properties. You will learn about the origin, composition and properties of the raw materials used in the production of Portland cement clinker and cement, and understand the chemical reactions that take place during the clinker burning process. We will show you how clinker is characterised and what factors influence its properties. The hydration reactions of Portland cements and cements with other main constituents will also be covered. You will learn methods for cement characterisation and production control during the seminar.
