Troubleshooting and Designing Pneumatic Conveying Systems

Developments in Pneumatic Conveying Technology

Many attempts to troubleshoot pneumatic conveying problems are either unsuccessful or end up treating only the symptoms of the problem (e.g. automatic pipeline unblocking technology). Yet there are many tools and techniques that can be used to determine the actual root cause(s) of the problem and also the corresponding optimal solution. These tools can also assist in the design of reliable pneumatic conveying systems.

At the next Powder Handling and Processing Seminar, Peter Wypych, Associate Professor at the University of Wollongong, will make a keynote presentation, discussing some of the tools available when troubleshooting and designing pneumatic conveying systems. These tools and techniques are contributing significantly to the resources of bulk materials handling and processing plants, as well as the reliability and future potential of this method of transport.

Complimenting the presentation on Pneumatic Conveying, Peter will also be making a presentation entitled "Reliable Storage and Feeding - A Systems Approach". Without proper understanding and the relevant design tools and data, problems can easily occur in the storage, flow and feeding of bulk materials, as evidenced by: hammer rash and impact damage on the side of bins and hoppers; poor quality control; reduced plant capacity; structural failures; and so on. This presentation discusses some of the key issues that need to be considered to ensure that the total system performs reliably (and according to prediction).

If you have Pneumatic Conveying Systems in your plant, you need to REGISTER NOW to make sure you don't miss out on the invaluable information in these presentations.
