Bulk Materials Handling and Processing in the Net Zero Economy
One day short course; 4 December
Venue: University of Greenwich campus, Chatham
Course presenters: Mike Bradley; Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology and Ian Hancock, Bradley Pulverizer.
What has bulk solids handling got to do with Net Zero? The course will look at bulk materials handling as part of the solution to net zero, discussing trends and opportunities.
Delegates will be invited to share their current methods in use and discuss how the industry can become more aware and active in reducing carbon emissions, using techniques and processes already in operation around the industry.
The process of handling bulk solids generates carbon emissions but it is also a fundamental ENABLING TECHNOLOGY in processes that can reduce carbon emissions through Energy from renewable biomass; Energy from waste; and Recycling and “green” chemical feedstocks.
Course Programme
Bulk solids handling and processing as a key enabler in the move to net zero:
- Renewable solid fuels and waste recycling
- Growth minerals for emissions reduction (lithium, copper etc)
- The renewable power sector and infrastructure
- Carbon negative processes
Reducing the emissions from bulk solids handling and processing operations:
- Identifying the main energy consumers
- Pneumatic conveying and compressed air
- Grinding and classification
- Port operations
Why attend?
By the end of this course you will understand more about the impact of Bulk Solids Handling on emissions and the role of Bulk Solids Handling in reducing these emissions.
Is this for me?
Yes. Everyone involved in all aspects of the bulk materials handling industry is responsible for helping reduce carbon emissions to reach the goal of net zero by 2050. If your plant has plans in place, please feel free to come and share with the group. If you don't know where to start in making changes, come along to get some ideas. This course is relevant to everyone.

About us
Our Mission: To help industry to get it's powders and bulk materials to behave in the way they need them to!
Our Services:
- Consultancy
- Research
- Short Courses
Our Clients:
Industries involved in the processing of powders, particulates and other bulk solids materials from across the spectrum including (but not limited to) food and drink, pharmaceuticals, minerals, renewable energy, chemicals, plastics, recycling, metals, household goods, paper, cosmetics, textiles and rubber.
Ranging from small local companies to international conglomerates.
Our industrial-scale pilot plant is available to test a processing step, or mock up a whole handling process or logistics chain, at full scale or near full scale. This can be used to find and solve the problems off-line, then when you transfer the same process or material to your own or your customers' plant, you can be confident it will work!
Our Experts have over one hundred man-years of experience in solving bulk materials handling problems. Along with a team of Researchers they concentrate on nothing else but the needs of Industry – and are at your disposal.
Our location offers excellent transport links within the UK and EU enabling us to provide a prompt and flexible response to site visit requests and client meetings.
