Ruark Engineering

One important key to improving quality and output is a highly trained staff of kiln specialists.

Ruark Engineering, Inc. provides training seminars that are both motivational and practical, with an emphasis on technical information and operations. These are seminars that have been designed to impart knowledge that your people can use right away to cut losses, fuel consumption, and improve your bottom line. And unlike many of the canned seminars sold by burner companies, they are custom developed to provide detailed insight for your exact equipment.

The training program is divided into three primary areas:

• Fundamentals of Combustion, including chemistry, burners, and combustion systems, combined with kiln operational concepts, so all of your operators share the same knowledge base.
• Detailed discussion to define problems and solutions for your kilns. Tools and concepts learned above are directly applied in problem solving.
  Development of a solution based program to improve operations in yield and quality, fuel consumption, and reliability.
  This is on site training, at your facility. Course notes, with diagrams are provided to each attendee at no extra cost. Whether you have 5 attendees or 50 your cost is the same.
• Ruark Engineering has provided seminars at dozens of locations, to rave reviews. You are encouraged to speak to my customers for their candid appraisals.

There are no comprehensive books available for your people to use for reference manuals for specific kiln operations. As a result, the understanding of kiln science is usually incomplete, and based on a variety of observations handed down over years. A comprehensive training program by Ruark Engineering can “Demystify” operations for lasting improvement. And look for his book-The Kiln Book-due out in the fall. It is guaranteed to improve your understanding of all facets of kiln operations.
