VR SOP Training for Cement Plant Operations

Fewer upsets and safer running—through clear routines

Cement plants balance quarry feed, grinding, pyroprocessing and emission control. Spark designs bespoke VR training that mirrors your raw mill, preheater/kiln, cooler, finish mill and packing—so operators practise start-ups, changeovers and upset recovery without risk.

Typical challenges

  • Process control: kiln feed/heat balance, O2/CO, free lime and coating.
  • Grinding stability: mill vibration, reject loops and separator set-up.
  • Emissions: baghouse/ESP upsets and visible emissions response.
  • Safety: hot zones, confined spaces and LOTO.
  • Packing: weight control, spillage and palletising.

How our custom build helps

  1. Capture SOPs & limits: start/stop sequences, alarms and QC checks.
  2. Create scenarios: kiln light-up, snowman/ring build, fan trips and baghouse recovery.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts that match your control-room language and checklists.
  4. Assess: right-first-time, time-to-stable-state and emissions incidents.

Benefits

  • Fewer trips and faster recovery.
  • Safer work around hot/process areas.
  • Clear training proof for regulators and customers.
