The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology, University of Greenwich offers a wide range of short courses designed specifically for engineers involved in the handling and/or designing of equipment for bulk solid materials.
Course content, offered as a mixture of online learning and face to face training, is continually developed to reflect the changes occurring in industry and the needs of the engineer.
Many now offer a practical workshop in the on-site laboratories to complement the theoretical presentations and real-life case studies used.
The calendar of courses for 2023 includes:
9 – 10 May: Caking and Lump Formation of Powders and Bulk Solids; Concentration on issues relating to keeping powders and granules in a free-flowing, lump-free condition
16 – 18 May: Pneumatic Conveying of Bulk Materials; Identification of components of pneumatic conveying systems, system selection and design techniques
14 June: Dust Control for Processes; Identification and risk assessment within processing systems; studying dust prevention, capture and extraction methods
28 – 29 June: Pneumatic Conveying System Design; An in-depth exploration of detailed calculations for design of pneumatic pipelines and specifying plant (Advanced course)
11 – 15 September: Powder Handling and Flow for Additive Manufacturing; A guide through the critical aspects of powder management for powder-based AM processing
19 – 20 September: Commissioning and Troubleshooting ‘Hands-on’ Pneumatic Conveying Systems; A look at the practical challenges of starting up systems on site and making sure they work as the designer intended
17 – 19 October: Overview of Particulate Handling Technology; An introduction to the storing and handling of bulk materials, equipment selection and design methodologies for safe and reliable plant
