Pneumatic Conveying System Design (Advanced Course) The ultimate aim is to share the most up-to-date knowledge on how to obtain pipeline designs that work reliably, delivering the required throughput without unplanned maintenance and undesired impact on the quality of the powder being handled. Subjects covered: 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; Course fee: £825 per delegate or £1260 if joined to Rotary Valves course on 23 September Venue: Chatham, Kent Contact: Caroline Chapman Wolfson-enquiries@gre.ac.uk , +44 20 8331 8646 www.bulksolids.com Program: Day 1: Introduction / 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 / Lunch Air Velocity, pressure, temperature calculations / 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 / Dense Phase Conveying (Differences in Powder Handling Day 2: 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 of airborne moisture with powder presentation / Predicting and containing particle degradation / Lunch Practical details – choice of coupling systems, pipe specification systems, etc / Rotary Valve Introduction and Feature Options Date 21 Sep 2021 - 22 Sep 2021 Date Location Course This event is hosted by The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology “Providing Cost-Effective Solutions to Industrial Problems” The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology is part of the School of Engineering at The University of Greenwich at Medway, Kent, UK and has specialised in solving materials handling problems since 1973.
