Dates: 1st to 4th February, 2012
Venue: Hotel Taj Bengal, Kolkata, INDIA

Congress Theme: Value Creation Through Refractories

Keynote Speaker: Prof. Victor C. Pandolfelli, Federal Univ. of Sao Carlos, Brazil

Organized by - INDIAN REFRACTORY MAKERS ASSOCIATION

REGISTRATION OF DELEGATES

REFCON -2012 (India International Refractories Congress 2012) is the ninth in the series of bi-annual international conferences providing an important interface between the Indian and the international refractories industries, and the users of refractories like steel, cement, non-ferrous metals, glass, etc. This is scheduled to be organized from 2nd to 4th February 2012 at Kolkata, the hub of Eastern India. In addition to producers and users of refractories, suppliers of refractory raw materials, equipment and machinery, testing apparatus, R&D institutions and consultants will be closely involved, besides design and consultancy organizations.

IREFCON -2012 Technical Sessions would cover refractories developments and applications for -

  • Coke & Iron Making
  • Steel Making
  • Secondary Refining
  • Flow Control
  • Cement & Glass
  • Non-ferrous products
  • Monolithic Refractories
  • Natural & Synthetic Raw Materials
  • Nano-engineered Refractories
  • Refractories Research & Refractory Education
  • Refractories  Installation & Repairing Techniques

The IREFCON -2012 will be held in the city of Kolkata, once recognised as the cultural capital of India, and today a fast- growing centre of a rapidly industrializing state, close to resource and growth centres for coal and steel. It is well connected by both national and international flights and by rail with all parts of India.
