Training

InsPyro provides courses on materials science, metallurgy, process modelling (e.g. METSIM®) and CFD. We regularly organize courses at our offices in Leuven, Belgium. Keep an eye on this page or subscribe to our newsletter to receive course announcements.

For groups at companies, we provide custom training on location ranging from basic metallurgical principles up to advanced thermochemistry. The audience can be engineers, operators, or commercial professionals. Contact us to define your training project.

Metallurgy Theory and Applications Course program – 2026

Our yearly organised course program is given in English and is aimed at people active in the metal processing industry. The course can be a refreshment of the metallurgical principles for engineers, or give hands-on metallurgists a solid theoretical background. There are 4 modules:

19/10/2026	Thermodynamics in pyrometallurgy – Thermodynamic principles, understanding reactions, oxidation and reduction in an Ellingham diagram
20/10/2026	How to read a phase diagram – Learn to use phase diagrams as a tool, lever rule in binary and ternary diagrams, obtaining solubility limits and melting points
21/10/2026	Phase diagrams in pyrometallurgy – Slag and matte systems, refractory-slag interaction, understanding slag formation
22/10/2026	Introduction to hydrometallurgy – Leaching, purification and metal recovery, E-pH diagrams, solubility product, electrode potential

The price is 600 EUR per module or 2000 EUR for the full 4 days. To register or for more information, contact Els Nagels via email or call +32 16 298 491.

METSIM® hands-on modelling training

METSIM® is the world standard in flowsheet modelling for mining and metallurgy. InsPyro will host hybrid METSIM® courses (Western Europe timezone). Topics include basic model set-up up to advanced and dynamic features. The course has a modular set-up, so participants can select the most relevant topics.
