Storage and Discharge of Powders and Bulk Materials

Overview:
Hoppers, silos, bins and bunkers are widely used in industry for storing bulk solids materials. However, these facilities can experience operational problems – often because facilities have been designed without knowledge of the flow characteristics of the material to be stored. This intensive course has been specifically designed to help solve problems like these. It includes an optional one day practical session in the onsite pilot plant

Course fee: £915 per delegate 2 days / £1400 per delegate 3 days;
