If you are tasked with designing Pneumatic Conveying systems, this course is designed for you.
An advanced in-depth exploration of detailed calculations for design of pneumatic pipelines and specifying plant.
The course will cover:
- Lean versus dense phase – relative advantages in practical application, and applicability to different materials;
- A detailed look at obtaining conveying information for the material to be handled, and how to scale this up for pipeline design;
- Different equations for predicting pipeline pressure drop and throughput;
- Stepped bore pipelines – how they enhance system performance and reduce problems, and how to design them;
- Differences in powder behaviour;
- A detailed look at bends; radius, pressure drop, wear, particle damage and material build-up;
- Air humidity effects – psychrometry and moisture calculations, and controlling interaction or airborne moisture with the powder;
- Practical details – choice of coupling systems, pipe specification systems etc;
This course is repeated in December.
Course leaders Dr Atul Sharma and Dr Baldeep Kaur will be on hand to answer your questions and discuss any problematic issues you may be facing at site.
Places are restricted so early registration is recommended.
