Short courses on the Storage and Discharge of Powders and Bulk Materials

Listen to this article

Hoppers, silos, bins and bunkers are widely used in industry for storing bulk solids materials. To ensure regular discharge from these storage systems, it is important to understand the flow characteristics of the materials being handled, and to ensure that the bins have been designed accordingly.

Attendance on the following 2 courses will help delegates gain the knowledge to do just this.

Basic course: Storage and Discharge of Powders and Bulk Materials
15 – 17 March 2016

This course includes an optional 3rd day in the on-site laboratories in Chatham.

Advanced course: Design of Equipment for Storing and Discharging Bulk Materials
26 – 27 April 2016

********************************************

Course fees will be reduced for delegates attending (or who have previously attended) the basic course first.

If you are a plant designer, plant manager or work in maintenance, these courses will improve your ability to deal with the design and troubleshooting of plants.

Full details on both courses and on-line booking is available here
