CP Powder eHandbook: Effective Powder Processing

As many chemical processors know, processing powders can be tricky. Powder properties can be affected if the materials are stored for long periods. Powders can be compressed, vibrated, aerated and exposed to moisture. And specific processes like granulation, blending, drying, milling, lubricating and compression put requirements on how powders can be handled. In this Chemical Processing Powder eHandbook, we take a look at how to effectively process powder including:

• Compression dryers – the case for choosing a solution that produces optimal air quality and low energy consumption
• GHS – understanding the requirements and what it means to chemicals processors
• Predicting powder flow behavior
• Vibratory screen cleaning methods
• Fine powder flushing - eliminating a common bin-afflicting problem caused by trapped air
• Tubular Drag Conveying Technology – an alternative to pneumatic conveying
• Addressing dust hazards – including explosions

CP Powder eHandbook: Tips for Effective and Safe Handling of Solids

Overview:

One of the trickiest materials to process, solids are comprised of powders or particulates, a continuous gaseous phase (usually air) and, almost always, a liquid component. Processors that handle solids know only too well the types of throughput problems that come up on a recurring basis. Effective, economical and safe slurry management; flowability during processing, accurate inventory and volume level management are all very real challenges faced by processors of solids. In this Chemical Processing Powder eHandbook, we take a look at how to effectively handle solids including:
 •Properly accounting for how bulk solids actually will flow in a vessel or overall process -- we take a look at some simple parameters that can often provide a good sense of flowability
 •Strategies for avoiding slurry trouble
•Mitigating pipe segment force imbalances with Reactor Excursion and Leakage Analysis Program
 •Acoustics-based level measurement for accurate powder measurement in bins, tanks and silos
 •Explosion protection methods including suppression, isolation and venting.

Chemical Processing Powder eHandbook: Address Challenges Posed by Powders

Overview:

One of the trickiest materials to process, powders are comprised of solids or particulates, a continuous gaseous phase (usually air) and, almost always, a liquid component. Many factors influence powder composition including size and distribution, surface roughness and hardness. And, how powders are processed -- vibration, compaction, attrition, segregation -- can influence how powders react. In this Chemical Processing Powder eHandbook, we take a look at how to effectively handle powders, safer dryer operations and how to manage phase changes when processing powders.
