Undesired Deblending and separation in processes and equipment

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:£915 on campus Delegates are also offered the chance to participate in the optional practical workshop where equipment and processes discussed during the course will be demonstrated.

Overview: This course discusses the causes and effect of electrostatic charge in bulk solids handling and the hazards affecting product quality control and risk assessment. Principal charge measurement techniques are reviewed and their use in the prediction and solution of problems discussed. Subjects covered: * Understanding electrostatic charging * Electrostatic charging hazards * Evaluation and measurement techniques * Charge assessment and control * Application of electrostatic charge Course fee: £500 per delegate [NOTE**Kurs auf Deutsch**This course will be delivered in English. If you would like to have it presented in German, please contact us to arrange.**]

Overview: Held over 2 morning sessions, this course is designed to give delegates an overview of various methods for determining the bulk behaviour of powder and granular particulates. Subjects covered include a selection of: * Particle size measurement techniques * Particle Density (solid and bulk) * Flow property measurements * Moisture uptake * Degradation/friability of bulk through handling systems * Pneumatic conveying properties * Dustiness testing Course fee: £500 per person [**NOTE**Auf Deutsch**Der Kurs wird online auf Englisch abgehalten. Wenn Sie daran interessiert sind, diesen Kurs auf Deutsch zu erhalten, nehmen Sie bitte Kontakt mit uns auf, um dies zu vereinbaren.**]

A series of practical workshops in the onsite pilot plant at the Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology in Chatham, Kent, UK using different techniques to establish the behaviour of bulk solid materials. * Understanding Powder Flow (in conjunction with Ametek) * Characterisation Techniques * Dust Containment Methods and Filtration * Segregation Methods Attend as many as you prefer. Each is a stand-alone session. Delegates will be able to use equipment relevant to specific topic areas of interest. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions from the experts. The aim of the Workshop Week sessions is to give delegates an insight into how and why the various techniques are used, and how these can enhance bulk materials handling services offered to Industry.

Consultancy, Research and Training (Short Courses) for the bulk materials handling industry. Independent expertise and cost-effective solutions to industrial problems. Our Mission: To help industry to get it’s powders and bulk materials to behave in the way they need them to. 2024 marked 50 years of service to the bulk solids handling industry. We shall continue to help Industry solve its bulk materials handling issues.

An overview of a bench scale evaluation method for quantifying the sensitivity of a free-flowing material (or blend) to segregation. Richard Farnish, Technical Director at the Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology, explains the importance of testing materials for their segregation tendency in this short video. If segregation issues are a problem in your plant, please contact us for advice through consultancy services or training.
