Pulverized Fuel Guidelines for the Cement Industry
Education & Training Home > Regional Programs > Pulverized Fuel Guidelines for the Cement Industry


One Day Regional Program

June 3, 2008 Colton, CA - held at the Colton Plant

In 1983 an ad hoc committee on coal system safety published Recommended Guidelines for Coal System Safety. Today that publication has been updated, revised and completely rewritten. Recommended Guidelines for Solid Fuel Use in Cement Plants represents the state-of-the-art on operational guidelines for coal and petcoke grinding in cement plants. This unique program is an intensive introduction to those recommended guidelines. Using PCA’s newest publication, along with information compiled from ASTM, FM, NFPA, and MSHA, we’ll walk participants through each guideline focusing on the reasons behind them. Participants will each be given a copy of PCA’s Recommended Guidelines for Solid Fuel Use in Cement Plants along with additional course notes.
