I have a project involving charging various 500- 2500kg Powders (MIE: 2mJ to 10mJ) into a Reactor. Pressure: 0, Temp: Ambient. Solvent in Reactor: Yes.
Powders in some cases will be wet cake but the majority will be dry.
In my company some say that Dense Phase Pneumatic/ Vacuum Units have great safety properties, transfer times etc.
Others say the FIBC direct charging into a Reactor using a special connector to join the FIBC to the Vessel is very good from a safety, ease of use and sterile approach. i.e. Just throw away the FIBC when done hence no CIP/ SIP needed unlike the pneumatic version.
I can decide whether to have the powder supplied to our facility in drums, IBC's or FIBC's. Can someone give me some solid advice on which way I should go. ■
