The 2020 calendar of short courses designed specifically for engineers involved in the handling and /or designing of equipment for bulk solid materials is out now.
The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology offers a wide range of short courses designed specifically for engineers involved in the handling and /or designing of equipment for bulk solid materials.
Course content is continually developed to reflect the changes occurring in industry and the needs of the engineer. If the dates below don’t suit – please contact us to discuss the option of an In-Company course.

Here’s what some of the delegates from last years courses said:
Port and Terminal Operations for Bulk Cargoes
“….a very useful approach to a number of questions about bulk cargoes”; Duarte Bastos, Silopor
Overview of Particulate Handling Technology
“…….very informative and I would recommend this course to anyone in the industry”; Chris Jones, Kemutec Group Inc. – A part of the Schenck Process Group
Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Materials
“I appreciated the practical exercises to get a hands on feel of the parameters important for calculations and layout of a pneumatic conveying system”; Dr Tom Simons, BASF
