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 – 2021
Our yearly organised course program is given in English and aims 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:
| 08/10/2021 | Introduction to thermodynamics – Principles, reactions, visualisation |
| 15/10/2021 | How to read a phase diagram I – Metallic systems and microstructure |
| 22/10/2021 | How to read a phase diagram II – Slag and matte |
| 29/10/2021 | Flowsheeting – Build flowsheets with METSIM® |

METSIM® hands-on modelling training
13-16 December 2021
METSIM® is the world standard in flowsheet modelling for mining and metallurgy. InsPyro will host a METSIM® course online (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.
Tentative program
| 13/12/2021 | Introduction to METSIM® Basic APL Commands, Simple Flowsheeting, Chemistry & Controls |
| 14/12/2021 | Comminution Module Crushing/Screening, Particle Sizes, Grinding/Classification |
| 15/12/2021 | Hydrometallurgical Flowsheeting Leaching, Solvent Extraction, Electrowinning |
| 16/12/2021 | Pyrometallurgical Flowsheeting Smelting, Chemistry, Dynamic Simulation, Batch Processing |
