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: £675 online / £825 on campus The course is offered in 2 options. Delegates attending either option are also offered the chance to participate in the optional practical workshop where equipment and processes discussed during the course will be demonstrated.

Rotary valves are widely used to feed pneumatic conveying pipelines, and for feed metering, explosion isolation, atmospheric isolation etc. However there are a multitude of combinations of different feature options available covering choice of materials of construction, rotor type, drive type, venting arrangements, bearing pattern, seal choice, clearances, cleaning features etc. Faced with this bewildering choice, how does an engineer decide what to specify? This course will help understand the reasons for the different options and how to choose them. Topics will include: * Application areas for rotary valves, and their different demands (feeding, explosion protection, isolation etc) * Basics of rotary valve performance – air leakage, feed rate etc * Materials of construction linked to issues of wear and build-up * Seals and bearings, options, functions and selection * Special consideration for explosion isolation * ATEX requirements and responsibilities * Features for cleaning and preventing contamination * Venting – needs, options and ensuring success * Review of practical application issues The course is aimed at engineers, system designers, maintenance personnel who have responsibility for sourcing, specifying and keeping operational rotary valves in all industries. Course fees are £520 per person

Online-Kurzlehrgang Experten vom Fraunhofer IFAM Institut in Bremen, Carpenter Additive und The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology vermitteln die neuesten Erkenntnisse zu diesem Thema. Seien Sie vom 12. bis 16. Juli jeden Nachmittag dabei und lassen Sie sich durch die kritischen Aspekte des Pulverhandlings und -managements führen, damit Sie potenzielle Problemstellen erkennen und lernen, wie Sie diese vermeiden oder überwinden können.

Attendance on this on-line short course will give delegates the opportunity to learn how to control or minimise unwanted caking in particulate materials For many industries controlling or minimising unwanted caking/ agglomeration of powders and particulate materials is a significant challenge which, in worst case scenario, can result in a halt in production. This course aims to explain how and why caking/ lump formation occurs and how to avoid or minimise the risk. Over the 2 sessions you will learn about: * Occurrences of caking in processes: A discussion of the methods that can be useful in predicting or trouble shooting unintended agglomeration of bulk materials in industry * Types of caking and methods for laboratory evaluation: A review of the range of caking mechanisms that can occur in processes and options for quantifying the ‘strength’ of agglomerates. * Common plant and operational issues: A session focussing on how various types of caking problems are created or exacerbated by the use of some types of standard equipment for handling bulk solids. Common design mistakes are highlighted and

Das Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology an der University of Greenwich bietet kurze Kurse zum sicheren Transport von Schüttgütern in Häfen und auf See an. Die Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der sicheren Handhabung und Lagerung von Schüttgütern im Hafen und auf See werden in zwei Online-Kurzkursen untersucht. Der eine befasst sich mit allgemeinen Sicherheitsfragen, der andere mit den Schwierigkeiten beim Umgang mit und beim Transport von Biomassematerialien. Wir laden Sie ein, daran teilzunehmen. Hafen- und Terminalbetrieb für Schüttgüter Am 8. - 11. März kurze Kurs Hafen- und Terminalbetrieb für Schüttgüter - Schüttgutumschlag und Sicherheitsprobleme in Häfen und auf See. Dieser Kurs, der in Zusammenarbeit mit ABTO: Association of Bulk Terminal Operators durchgeführt wird, befasst sich mit den Fragen der sicheren Handhabung und Lagerung von Schüttgütern in Häfen und auf See.

Short Course; 6 - 12 January An intensive course looking at the components of pneumatic conveying systems, system selection and design techniques. Day 1: Introduction to pneumatic conveying / Components Day 2: System design / Economic design Day 3: Interfacing / Explosion hazards / ATEX-DSEAR Day 4: Operation and control of blow tanks / Blow tanks and transport Day 5: Uprating systems / Case studies Each session will include time to discuss operational issues with the presenter and other delegates. A previous delegate said of the course: This course demonstrated to me that an appropriate scientific approach can help to understand this art of pneumatic transport. I recommend this training to engineers who want to tackle powder conveying problems (design and operation) in their factory. Should I attend? If you are a plant designer, plant manager or work in maintenance, this course will improve your ability to deal with the design and troubleshooting of plants. You’ll also benefit
