Who Should Attend
This course is intended for professionals in the dry chemicals,
cement, plastics, mining, food and pharmaceuticals industries
and others where the handling of dry powder or granular
material is required. It will benefit:-
Staff engineers involved in pneumatic conveying projects
- Industrial engineers required to evaluate cost-cutting
purchasing engineers working with vendors
- Operating or maintenance personnel responsible for plant
equipment
Description
Pneumatic conveying has been a rapidly expanding area
of materials handling because of its cleanliness, flexibility,
and the rapid payout possible as it replaces an older method.
However, little information on the subject is available to
the staff engineer; little or no coverage is provided in
undergraduate curricula. Hence, the need for a course of
this kind, where principles and practices are discussed in
an atmosphere emphasizing practical application.
This course will provide: a thorough review of all systems
in use; practical exercises in system design and equipment
application; analysis of the working principles, operation and
maintenance of individual pieces of pneumatic conveying
hardware; and a description and explanation of methods
used to minimize particle degradation and erosion from
abrasive materials.
The session on troubleshooting is designed to give operating
personnel sufficient practical understanding of the operation
of pneumatic conveying systems to make intelligent
evaluations of their systems and to know what modifications
can be made to improve operation at a minimum expense to
the company.
