Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Solids

Advanced Course: Pneumatic Conveying System Design An in-depth exploration of detailed calculations and design for pneumatic pipelines. This course is aimed at practitioners already familiar with the basics of pneumatic conveying. Course fees are £915 This is also available as an In-Company course. This course is delivered in English.

Overview: This is an intensive course designed to introduce the technology of storing and handling bulk materials. It also covers the problems that can result from incorrect equipment selection, and looks at appropriate design methodologies for safe and reliable plant. Subjects covered: * Sampling * Characterisation of Bulk Solids * Storage Equipment * Discharge Aids * Product Feeders * Segregation of Bulk Materials * Degradation of Bulk Materials * Pneumatic Conveying * Caking of Bulk Materials * Dust Control Course fee:£915 on campus Delegates are also offered the chance to participate in the optional practical workshop where equipment and processes discussed during the course will be demonstrated.

Overview: Delegates will look at the setting up and commissioning of pneumatic conveying systems. This course is a ’Hands on’ fully practical session using the pneumatic conveying lines and rotary valves in the on-site laboratories in Chatham. Subjects covered: * The practical challenge of starting up systems on site and making sure they work as the designer intended; * Understand the key signals to look out for that tell you how the system is operating; * Avoiding pitfalls that can lead to slow start up, blockages etc; * How to know when the system is operating as intended; * Ensuring the system is optimised around the users priority requirements eg. minimum energy usage/ particle blockage / system wear; * It also covers lean and dense phase, rotary valves, blow tanks and various air supply types Course fee: £915 per delegate Venue: Chatham, Kent Contact: Caroline Chapman

Wolfson Centre offers a selection of courses related to pneumatic conveying on the remises and in the pilot plant in Chatham, Kent. Registration is now open. Wolfson Centre offers a selection of courses related to pneumatic conveying # A basic course looking at system components, design techniques, operation and control of blow tank systems, explosion hazards, operational problems as well as the often-neglected area of interfacing storage bins with conveying systems. # An advanced course guiding delegates through the processes on how to obtain pipeline designs that work reliably, delivering the required throughput without unplanned maintenance and undesired impact on quality of the powder being handled # A ’hands-on’ course where delegates practice troubleshooting problems that arise when using these systems and making sure they work as the designer intended All courses are held at the Wolfson Centre premises and pilot plant in Chatham, Kent.

Kostenloses Webinar: Nutzung virtueller Modelle mit einer digitalen Darstellung von physischen Objekten oder Systemen zur Verbesserung von Leistung und Effizienz. Freitag, 24. März 2023, 13:00 - 14:00 GMT, Online Vortragende: Chanaka Prasad; Chanaka absolviert derzeit ein von Schenck Process UK Ltd. gefördertes Promotionsprogramm am Wolfson Centre. Sein Projekt bezieht sich auf die Digital Twin-Technologie, die sich auf die digitale Darstellung physischer Objekte oder Systeme bezieht und eine lange Geschichte hat, die sich parallel zur Industrie 4.0 entwickelt hat. In verschiedenen Branchen werden unterschiedliche Digital Twin-Architekturen eingesetzt, je nach den spezifischen Bedürfnissen und Anforderungen der Anwendung. Kürzlich hat das Wolfson Centre damit begonnen, Digital Twinning im Bereich der pneumatischen Förderung anzuwenden, bei der Schüttgüter mit Hilfe von Druckluft durch Rohrleitungen transportiert werden. Mit Hilfe der Digital-Twin-Technologie wird ein virtuelles Abbild eines pneumatischen Fördersystems erstellt, das für verschiedene Zwecke verwendet werden kann, z. B. für die Echtzeitüberwachung,

Dieser Kurs auf Englisch im November bietet eine Einführung in die Identifizierung von Komponenten pneumatischer Fördersysteme, Systemauswahl und Entwurfstechniken Join us in Chatham, UK, for the popular short course Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Materials to learn how to identify issues and how to avoid or rectify them. This course provides an introduction to the identification of components of pneumatic conveying systems, system selection and design techniques. Day 3 is an optional Workshop in our on-site laboratories where we will demonstrate equipment used in the pneumatic conveying process. Taking place from 8 - 10 November the subjects to be covered include: * Techniques for reducing product degradation during conveying; * Ways to reduce maintenance, repair and unplanned stoppages to pneumatic conveying equipment; * Methods of reducing energy consumption; * How to troubleshoot problematic systems; * How to eliminate blockages in pneumatic pipelines; * Explosion Hazards including ATEX Directives; * Operation and control of blow tanks; * System selection and operation; The Workshop includes demos of the pilot
