Troubleshooting and Commissioning Pneumatic Conveying System

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 £915 This is also available as an In-Company course. This course is delivered in English. It is repeated in November 2024

Overview: This is an intensive course designed to introduce the technology of storing and handling bulk materials. It also covers the problems that can result from incorrect equipment selection, and looks at appropriate design methodologies for safe and reliable plant. Subjects covered: * Sampling * Characterisation of Bulk Solids * Storage Equipment * Discharge Aids * Product Feeders * Segregation of Bulk Materials * Degradation of Bulk Materials * Pneumatic Conveying * Caking of Bulk Materials * Dust Control Course fee: from £915 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 intensive course looks at system components, design techniques, operation and control of blow tank systems, explosion hazards and operational problems, as well as the important but often neglected area of interfacing storage bins with conveying systems. Subjects covered: * Techniques for reducing product degradation during conveying * Ways to reduce maintenance, repair and unplanned stoppages to pneumatic conveying equipment * Methods of reducing energy consumption * How to troubleshoot problematic systems * How to eliminate blockages in pneumatic pipelines * Explosion Hazards including ATEX Directives * Operation and control of blow tanks * System selection and operation * Interfacing storage bins to conveying systems * Relevant case studies from industry Course fee: from £915 This course is repeated in October 2024

A ’hand’s on’ course for engineers who are actively involved in commissioning or troubleshooting pneumatic conveying systems A look at the practical challenges of starting up systems on site and making sure they work as the designer intended. Delegates will be guided through a selection of practical workshops in the on-site Pilot Plant to look at the different challenges encountered when using and commissioning pneumatic conveying systems including; - Rotary Valve / roots blower system - Blow tank system Course presenters: Professor Mike Bradley – who has decades of practical experience of all kinds of pneumatic conveying systems – assisted By Dr Atul Sharma, our lead consultant engineer in the subject. To ensure the maximum benefit for those attending, we limit delegate number to 6 per course. Fees are discounted for 2 or more delegates signing up together from the same company.
