Mr. Agarwal:

We have over 100 dilute phase systems for BOPP. The vast majority run trouble free so the basic design must be solid. There are a few conveying lines which do give us occasional troubles and I would like to resolve them.

You tool could provide valuable information towards this effort. Would you be so kind as to share a copy with me?

I've sent my contact info via e-mail as requested.

Dear Amrit,

Nice to see your information in web.

I am trying to learn pneumatic transport – especially dense phase transport.

If you can send me your article I will appreciate you very much.

On the other hand I have got a calculation program, but I could not find “friction coefficient” tables. Can you guide me or send me this data especially for sand, cement, gypsum, calcite

Kind Regards,

Posted on 22. Jan. 2009 - 12:59

Hello to all,

I am new here and I am trying to get some help in designing pneumatic conveyors.

I need to design a lean phase system to transport calcined alumina. I know the conveying rate is 11 t/h and the horizontal and vertical distances are 80 m and 19 m respectively. The number of 90 degree bends is 6. I need to calculate the air flow rate and the pipe diameter. Does anyone have any suggestion for a solid loading ratio for calcined alumina? I also need to select a suitable blower for the system. I hope you guys can help me.

Regards,

Tony

Thanks, Amrit, for a copy of your article. I've looked the paper over and it seems rather applicable to what I'll be working on in a few days. The only problem I see is that I have no experimental data on the particular system, to establish a design value for "K". We will be dilute phase conveying 100-200 micron ground silicon using hydrogen chloride gas at about 4 barg and 100C, into a fluidized bed reactor. If there is any design info on conveying silicon or quartz with any other gas, perhaps it could be extrapolated.

Dear Larry,

Silica or quartz is pneumatically conveyed in a number of installations.

However, these installations use air as the carrying medium.

In order to calculate a pneumatic conveying system, it is necessary to know and apply the thermo dynamic constants of the carrying gas involved as these influence the velocities, pressure drops, temperatures, etc.

(Taking into account the density alone is not enough)

Once you have changed those values, the calculation is performed accordingly.

Determining the “K”factor is indeed a problematic issue. This factor is normally based on field or test facilities measurements (with air as a gas).

Extrapolation is a very tricky way of designing in pneumatic conveying.
