For
Cement-plant control-room operators and supervisors
Worth noticing
The page lists 22 drills spanning the kiln, preheater, cooler, mills and utilities, with coaching in English and Spanish.

Field notes

The sample screen shows burning-zone temperature, kiln-exit oxygen and carbon monoxide, draft, fan speed and clinker rate, alongside a coach’s shift handover. A calculator estimates downtime losses from visitor-adjustable inputs; its example reaches $168,000 per day, but the page cautions that market-limited plants may recover some lost production and that restart costs still apply.
