"Reviewed and approved by the AIChE Education Services Committee 2005" You can expect to: - Cover a wide range of equipment types and the solutions to problems commonly associated with each of them.
- Gain a better understanding of common problems which occur during pneumatic conveying.
- Understand pneumatic conveying principles of operation allowing you to evaluate your in-plant systems and determine effectiveness.
- Be able to troubleshoot the source of conveying problems and apply various solution methods to improve efficiency.
- Know how to choose a conveying system layout based upon proper principles of operation.
- Understand how to choose system components
Course content:
- Overview – advantages and limitations of pneumatic conveying; applications in various industries (case histories)
- Fundamentals – low pressure compressible gas flow; defining characteristics of a conveying system; state diagrams (pressure vs. velocity); modes of conveying (suspension vs. non-suspension); minimum conveying velocity
- System layout and selection – pressure, vacuum, combination, closed loop; blow tanks; dense phase conveying
- System components – gas movers, solids feeders, pipe bends, filters/disengagers
- Operating considerations – particle attrition, streamers, snake skins, angel hair, erosive wear
- Design example – designing a dilute phase pneumatic conveying system
Who should attend: Design, project, and research engineers, as well as plant operation personnel who are responsible for solving and preventing flow problems or purchasing solids handling equipment, will benefit from the valuable information provided in these courses. |

THOMAS G. TROXEL is a graduate of California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo, California with a B.S. in Engineering Science. After graduating as the Outstanding Senior in the Engineering Science program in 1981, he worked at General Dynamics Co. prior to joining Jenike & Johanson, Inc. He helped to open the firm's San Luis Obispo, California facility in 1982, where he is currently a Vice President. Mr. Troxel has been intimately involved in many aspects of the firm's consulting and research activities on a wide range of projects including bulk solids testing, modeling, blending, and pneumatic conveying. He has been a major force behind the firm's expansion of services in the areas of mechanical design engineering and supply of custom built equipment. The latter includes mass flow screw feeders, portable anti-segregation bins for pharmaceuticals, BINSERT®‚ tumble blenders, and storage bins for a wide variety of applications. His sound knowledge of basic engineering principles has added significantly to the firm's depth of talent and expertise available to solve problems in bulk solids flow.
HERMAN PURUTYAN is a Vice President at Jenike & Johanson, Inc. He received both his B.S. and M.S. from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. Since joining Jenike & Johanson in 1991 he has been involved in designing reliable handling systems for a wide range of difficult-to-handle materials such as synthetic gypsum, kaolin clay and titanium dioxide in addition to presenting AIChE and in-house courses to individual companies. Prior to joining the company he worked as a design engineer for Texas Instruments.
ERIC P. MAYNARD is a Senior Project Engineer and the Education Coordinator for Jenike & Johanson, Inc. Eric received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Villanova University in Villanova, Pennsylvania. Subsequently, he received his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Massachusetts. As a project engineer at Jenike & Johanson Inc., he has designed handling systems for bulk solids including coal, limestone, plastic powder, food products, and pharmaceuticals. He frequently lectures on the storage and flow of bulk solids at AIChE, individual companies, in-house courses, and numerous conferences (e.g., Powder & Bulk Engineering Conference, Powder & Bulk Solids Conference, Pharmaceutical Production TechSource®‚ Conference).
