Short Courses for Process Engineers
Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Materials:
A selection of courses aimed at different levels of expertise for process engineers in the powder and bulk solids handling industries.
We support industries that are seeking to resolve process problems, develop design schemes for plant expansion, or simply improve product quality
Who should attend?
- plant designer
- plant manager
- maintenance staff
- operational staff
- senior management
- nyone actively involved in design or troubleshooting of
- pneumatic conveying systems
These courses will improve your ability to deal with the design and troubleshooting of different systems. They aim to provide a better understanding of potential problems and how to make your plant as efficient and trouble-free as possible
16 – 20 November: Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Materials; components of pneumatic conveying systems, selection and design techniques.
Subjects covered include: dilute and dense phase conveying / Selecting the correct hardware for your application / Matching appropriate feeders to pneumatic systems / Dust control methodology / Practical design considerations / Elimination of explosion hazards / Positive and negative pressure systems
7 – 11 December: Pneumatic Conveying System Design; in depth exploration of detailed calculations for design of pneumatic pipelines and specifying plant.
Subjects covered include: Lean versus dense phase pneumatic conveying / obtaining conveying information / equations for predicting pipeline pressure drop and throughput / how stepped bore pipelines enhance system performance and reduce problems / a detailed look at bends / air
humidity effects / Practical details – choice of coupling systems, pipe specification systems etc
15 – 16 December; Rotary Valves: Design, Selection and Operational Issues; an exploration of the different valves and features available
Subjects covered include: Basics of rotary valve performance / Seals and bearings, options, functions and selection / Features for cleaning and preventing contamination / Venting – needs, options and ensuring success / ATEX requirements and responsibilities

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.
