Overview: This course looks at the causes and effects of de-blending (segregation) of bulk particulates Subjects covered: Identification of the most commonly encountered segregation mechanisms Examples of how segregation has occurred in plant Techniques that can be applied in plant design to minimise these effects Different types of segregation will also be identified; air-induced, rolling, …

Overview: This course discusses the causes and effect of electrostatic charge in bulk solids handling and the hazards affecting product quality control and risk assessment. Principal charge measurement techniques are reviewed and their use in the prediction and solution of problems discussed. Subjects Covered: Understanding electrostatic charging Hazards Evaluation and measurement techniques Charge assessment and …

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. …
