Even though pneumatic conveying systems have been designed and operated for many years, their successful operation is still more often based on experience rather than science. The lack of practical information on pneumatic conveyors leaves most users dependent on vendors for the design, selection, and installation of pneumatic conveying equipment. Attendees of this course will be shown the advantages and limitations of pneumatic conveying, types of systems (dilute and/or dense phase) and their basic components, minimum transport velocity and pressure loss calculations, and the selection of proper equipment for their needs.

This one day course is geared towards design engineers and plant personnel who are either experiencing problems with existing pneumatic conveying systems or plan to use new systems. The following topics are covered:

• Introduction
  • What is pneumatic transport?
  • Pneumatic transport main characteristics
  • Advantages and limitations
  • Suitable materials for pneumatic transport
• Fundamentals
  • Characteristics of material to be handled
  • One phase gas flow
  • One phase gas flow through pipes
  • Particle dynamics
• Basic characteristics of a pneumatic transport system
• Pneumatic transport system design
  • dilute phase
  • dense phase
• Other topics of interest
