Do you want combustion, kiln/furnaces, refractories, sintering...?

I remember a few summers ago there was a combustion course offered to my boss (while i was still a student). I believe it was at Clemson Univ, in the USA. They have a big brick research facility there.

look into that, if it's not there I will find out more.
