Jenike & Johanson engineers will be presenting the following ASME/AIChE sponsored courses on the theory and practice of effective bulk solids handling:

FLOW OF SOLIDS IN BINS, HOPPERS, CHUTES, AND FEEDERS

April 18-19, Houston, Texas

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING OF BULK SOLIDS

April 20, Houston, Texas

Flow of Solids in Bins, Hoppers, Chutes, and Feeders

You can expect to:

• Cover a wide range of equipment types and the solutions to flow problems commonly associated with each of them.

• Gain a better understanding of how friction, cohesion, compressibility, and other properties affect the flow of solids through various types of feeders, chutes, reactors, bins, and hoppers.

• See how to specify and select hardware best suited to various bulk solid flow problems and objectives, including how to retrofit existing equipment to correct flow problems.

• Solve problems associated with solids handling, such as lost production, plant downtime, extra labor, poor quality control, spoiled material, and unreliable equipment.

• Be alert to the pitfalls in handling bulk solids.

Course content:

• Typical flow problems and flow patterns

• Flow properties of bulk solids

• Volumetric and gravimetric feeders

• Calculating solids discharge rates

• Fine powder handling

• Methods of increasing flow rates

• Chute design

• Particle segregation

• Flow corrective devices

• Retrofit options

Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Solids

You can expect to:

• Cover a wide range of equipment types and the solutions to problems commonly associated with each of them.

• Gain a better understanding of common problems which occur during pneumatic conveying.

• Understand pneumatic conveying principles of operation allowing you to evaluate your in-plant systems and determine effectiveness.

• Be able to troubleshoot the source of conveying problems and apply various solution methods to improve efficiency.

• Know how to choose a conveying system layout based upon proper principles of operation.

• Understand how to choose system components.

Course content:

• Overview – advantages and limitations of pneumatic conveying; applications in various industries (case histories)

• Fundamentals – low pressure compressible gas flow; defining characteristics of a conveying system; state diagrams (pressure vs. velocity); modes of conveying (suspension vs. non-suspension); minimum conveying velocity

• System layout and selection – pressure, vacuum, combination, closed loop; blow tanks; dense phase conveying

• System components – gas movers, solids feeders, pipe bends, filters/disengagers

• Operating considerations – particle attrition, streamers, snake skins, angel hair, erosive wear

• Design example – designing a dilute phase pneumatic conveying system

This course will provide critical design methodology for dealing with bulk solids "emergencies" or planning for new installations or plant expansions which incorporate solids handling.

Who should attend:

Design, project, and research engineers, as well as plant operation personnel who are responsible for solving and preventing flow problems or purchasing solids handling equipment, will benefit from the valuable information provided in these courses.

Jenike & Johanson engineers have been presenting courses for AIChE for over twenty-five years. The courses have also been upgraded significantly in the past three years. We incorporate several workshops for participants to work out problems, while applying the theory they have just learned.

With both courses, you'll gain a strong, fundamental understanding of bulk solids and their behavior, along with the general principles and practical applications of solids flow. You'll find out how and why typical flow problems occur, and what simple, practical steps you can take to solve them. You'll learn how to design bulk material-handling systems that work the way you want. In short, you'll come away with the knowledge and insight you need to conquer your company's flow difficulties.

Course registration:

Register today and put an end to your money/time-wasting flow problems. Registration is made entirely through ASME/AIChE. Register on-line at http://www.asme.org/education.

Course fee for the two-day session is $995 for ASME/AIChE members and $1155 for non-members. The fee for the one-day pneumatic conveying course is $645 for ASME/AIChE members and $745 for non-members.

Hotel accommodations:

These courses will be held at the Wyndham Greenspoint, 12400 Greenspoint Drive, Houston, TX 77060 (Phone: 281-875-2222).

Additional 2005 course sites and dates:

Chicago, IL June 13-15

As an alternative, these courses can be presented at your plant or facility, enabling us to focus on your company’s particular flow-related concerns, and discuss related issues in confidence.
