Overview of Particulate Handling Technology

Advanced Course: Pneumatic Conveying System Design An in-depth exploration of detailed calculations and design for pneumatic pipelines. This course is aimed at practitioners already familiar with the basics of pneumatic conveying. Course fees are £825 This is also available as an In-Company course. This course is delivered in English. It is repeated in November 2023

Overview: Facilities storing bulk solid materials sometimes experience operational problems – often because they have been designed without knowledge of the flow characteristics of the material to be stored. This course advises on preventing such problems. Subjects covered: * An introduction to the storage and flow of bulk solid materials in hoppers, bins and bunkers * Determining the flow properties of bulk solids * Determination of hopper geometry * Predicting discharge rates * Feeders and feeding * Hopper discharge aids * Prediction of wall loadings and their effect on structural design * Discussion/troubleshooting period Course fee: from £825 on campus Delegates are also offered the chance to participate in the optional practical workshop where equipment and processes discussed during the course will be demonstrated.

Overview: This course is designed to give delegates an overview of various methods for determining the bulk behaviour of powder and granular particulates. Subjects covered include a selection of: * Particle size measurement techniques * Particle Density (solid and bulk) * Flow property measurements * Moisture uptake * Degradation/friability of bulk through handling systems * Pneumatic conveying properties * Dustiness testing Course fee: £450 per person The course will be delivered online in English.
