The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology, University of Greenwich, will be organising a short course designed to provide a useful overview of particulate handling technology. Taking place 1-3 October, it will offer two days of instruction followed by a third day (optional) of practical laboratory sessions where techniques discussed can be practised and further examined. The purpose of the course will be to provide delegates with the knowledge to identify bulk solids handling problems and the techniques which can be employed to overcome them. Topics covered will include:

• Vessel design, including dimensions, feeders and discharge aids 
• Characterisation of materials 
• Pneumatic and mechanical handling 
• Feeder interfacing 
• Instrumentation and control of solids handling systems 
• Dust control including ATEX compliance 
• Bulk property measurement 
• Bulk bag emptying.
