Our Training
We offer on-site technical training for graduate staff and plant metallurgists. These courses provide an opportunity for revision of basic principles and cover thermodynamics and kinetics of metal-slag-gas reactions in ferrous and base metals smelting and refining processes.
What Our Training Provides
Our training is designed as a forum to:
- Discuss and workshop technical issues through case studies
- Analyse such issues through the application of thermodynamics
- Develop suitable solutions to plant problems
Format
Our training programs are:
- Structured, but not an academic exercise
- Focused on practical problems and outcomes, including specific case studies drawn from real plant experience
- Free of formal coursework, but may include side projects involving gathering and analysing real process data
Topics Covered
Courses are tailored to client needs but typically cover:
- Fundamentals of high-temperature thermodynamics applied to pyrometallurgy
- Behaviour of molten slags: structure, properties, and their effect on process performance
- Kinetics of reactions between metals, slags, gases, and refractories
- Impurity management and metal recovery in smelting and refining
- Practical case studies in process optimisation
