Powder Slurrying
If you are pneumatically conveying a dry powder, separating the air from the solids is essential.
If the process requires a slurry of 20% solids, then a wet scrubber is the ideal solution. 4 micron particles can be collected at modest energy input (for 1500 cfm about 5 kW).
Take care of the materials of construction to protect against corrosion. A competent scrubber supplier will be able to help you set up the slurry system.

Re: Powder Slurrying From Fem
I think, you don't need a pneumatic transport. You can induct and disperse the powder directly into the liquid.
You can find a short information about such a machine under http://www.ystral.com/Englisch/Machi...conti-tds.html

Powder Slurrying from FEM
We are looking for the most cost effective technology that would allow us to take 4-micron fluid energy milled powder to a wetted end-state at large production rates. Ideally, we would like to locate a technology that can receive 4-micron powder at 200 - 1500 lb / hr in an air stream at 350 - 1500 cfm directly from the mill to the slurrying system (reducing/eliminating the need for expensive baghouses, scrubbers, cyclone separators, etc.). The slurry would need to be ~20% solids. Any suggestions would be much appreciated..... ■
