A new one-day course; What has bulk solids handling go to do with Net Zero? The course will look at bulk materials handling as part of the solution to net zero, discussing trends and opportunities. Delegates will be invited to share their current methods in use and discuss how the industry can become more aware and active in reducing carbon emissions, using techniques and processes already in operation around the industry. The process of handling bulk solids generates carbon emissions but it is also a fundamental ENABLING TECHNOLOGY in processes that can reduce carbon emissions through Energy from renewable biomass; Energy from waste; and Recycling and “green” chemical feedstocks. Course Programme Bulk solids handling and processing as a key enabler in the move to net zero: * Renewable solid fuels and waste recycling * Growth minerals for emissions reduction (lithium, copper etc) * The renewable power sector and infrastructure * Carbon negative processes Reducing the emissions from bulk solids handling and processing operations: * Identifying the main energy consumers * Pneumatic conveying and compressed air * Grinding and classification * Port operations Course fees £580 per delegate

A guide through the critical aspects of bulk materials management in the batteries processing industry. This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and solutions in storing and handling bulk powders used in battery manufacturing, and to explore best practices and industry standards for safe and efficient material handling. The course will also involve the role of material properties in storage and handling, and their impact on product quality and process efficiency. With an emphasis on practical aspects of technology, we’ll begin with a comprehensive introduction to give a basic understanding of handling and storing these powders, before moving on to more detailed work. We’ll use case studies throughout to illustrate the presentations, with plenty of discussion periods so that we can analyse any specific problems experienced by attendees. We’ll cover the basics in operation, design and specification including an introduction to the storage and flow of bulk solid materials in hoppers, silos, bins and bunkers, feeders and feeding, hopper discharge aids and the prediction of discharge rates focussing on battery materials. We will also look closely at ways to determine the correct design for reliable discharge, including determining flow properties of battery materials, hopper geometry and practical design considerations. Is this for me? This course is designed for professionals involved in material handling, storage, or processing within the battery industry. Ideal participants include process engineers, R&D professionals, plant managers, and supply chain specialists. The course will be delivered in English.

This course aims to equip participants with the knowledge to address challenges in storing and handling bulk powders specific to pharmaceutical manufacturing and to provide insight into the critical role of material properties in maintaining product quality and ensuring process efficiency. This course will also highlight exploring compliance with industry standards, including cGMP and regulatory guidelines.

This webinar will explore the challenges and advantages of ultrafine air classification, a particle separation technique that utilises aerodynamic properties to segregate materials by size, density, or shape. Air classification is a particle separation technique that utilises aerodynamic properties to segregate materials by size, density, or shape. It avoids the use of chemicals to separate the powders in dry state, making it ideal for industries like mining, recycling, and food processing. Air flow rate and rotor dynamics are the main operating parameters to achieve the desired fractionation of the products. The applications of air classification ranges from mineral refinement to sustainable waste recovery and pharmaceutical production. Air classification plays a pivotal role in advancing resource efficiency and eco-friendly material processing and has been used for many centuries for different applications. The major research interest is the ultrafine air classification. Ultrafine air classification brings its own challenges, such as, achieving precise cut size and desired throughput. It becomes much more challenging for materials with required cut size below

6 June: this webinar focuses on a vital yet often misunderstood step in many industrial processes. Presenter: Dr Hamed Johnny Sarnavi This webinar, ” Challenges in Convective Drying of Powdered Materials ”, focuses on a vital yet often misunderstood step in many industrial processes. It explores the interaction between powder behaviour and heated air, which is essential for addressing energy efficiency and product quality concerns. Designed for decision-makers, process engineers, and equipment operators in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and mineral industries, this session offers practical insights for those interested in innovative drying techniques Dr Hamed Johnny Sarnavi: Hamed is a research and consultant engineer at the Wolfson Centre-University of Greenwich; specialising on the flowability and drying of wet bulk solids.

July 9, 2025: New One day short course: explore best practice and industry; learn about impact of material properties on product quality and process efficiency This new course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and solutions in storing and handling bulk powders used in battery manufacturing, and to explore best practice and industry standards for safe and efficient material handling. The course will also involve the role of material properties in storage and handling, and their impact on product quality and process efficiency. Course presenter, Dr Vivek Garg has been helping companies involved in the manufacture of batteries to better understand the problems encountered when handling and storing these bulk materials and has used this to create a bespoke course for the industry. Course subjects * Basics in operation, design and specification of hoppers, silos, bins and bunkers, * An introduction to the storage and flow of bulk solid materials * Feeders and feeding * Hopper discharge aids * Prediction of discharge rates focussing on battery materials.

From Carbon Fixing to Building structures: Optimising the carbonation reaction conditions for a fast and complete carbonation process. Carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) is a process to utilise the captured carbon by finding suitable applications or converting into useful products such as plastics, concrete or biofuels etc. CCUS is strongly supported by the organisations across the globe to minimise the carbon footprints. Heavy industries such as cement, steel, and chemicals are often seen as the major producers of greenhouse gasses, therefore, the flue gases produced from processes are mixed with waste byproducts to create a useful product. The carbonation extent and kinetics are influenced by the factors dependent on the base material physiochemical properties and carbonation reaction conditions. Optimising these conditions are the premises for the fast carbonation process. Presenters: Dr Baldeep Kaur and Dr Sean McIntyre from Surface Measurement Systems Baldeep Kaur will discuss about the fundamentals of the carbonation process and Sean McIntyre will present research on the hydration

Conference to promote awareness of fires in silos and flat stores and how to prevent or manage these occurrences. Fire Prevention and Management in Biomass and Bulk Materials Storage 10 June 2025; University of Greenwich , Medway campus, UK Organised by the Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology. Conference Chair: Prof. Michael Bradley Registration is now open for the 4th Conference in the ‘Silo Fires’ series to promote awareness of fires in silos and flat stores and how to prevent or manage these occurrences. This conference will highlight an issue that is quite common but not very well exposed or covered. Unlike explosions, it is not regulated by DSEAR so does not get the same attention, but fires in storage of bulk solids is probably more common than explosions. The conference will open with a couple of case studies, moving on to discussing current scientific knowledge, finishing with advice on how to deal with the aftermath of fires in storage vessels, along with strategies for safety via design and operation practices. Programme We are pleased
