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
