Who Should Attend
This course is intended for professionals in the dry chemicals, cement, plastics, mining, food and pharmaceuticals industries and others where the handling of dry powder or granular material is required. It will benefit:
• Staff engineers involved in pneumatic conveying projects
• Industrial engineers required to evaluate cost-cutting
purchasing engineers working with vendors
• Operating or maintenance personnel responsible for plant
equipment
Description
Pneumatic conveying has been a rapidly expanding area of materials handling because of its cleanliness, flexibility, and the rapid payout possible as it replaces an older method. However, little information on the subject is available to the staff engineer; little or no coverage is provided in undergraduate curricula. Hence, the need for a course of this kind, where principles and practices are discussed in an atmosphere emphasizing practical application.
This course will provide: a thorough review of all systems in use; practical exercises in system design and equipment application; analysis of the working principles, operation and maintenance of individual pieces of pneumatic conveying hardware; and a description and explanation of methods used to minimize particle degradation and erosion from abrasive materials.
The session on troubleshooting is designed to give operating personnel sufficient practical understanding of the operation of pneumatic conveying systems to make intelligent evaluations of their systems and to know what modifications can be made to improve operation at a minimum expense to the company.

Paul E. Solt; Pneumatic Conveying Consultant
Paul E. Solt has been involved in pneumatic conveying since 1950, currently as a consultant with Pneumatic Conveying Consultants. He was formerly employed by Fuller Company where he held positions in the service, sales and research departments, and has had much experience in both installation and troubleshooting of conveying systems. Mr. Solt brings a unique balance of both practical and theoretical approaches to solving conveying problems. His experience includes all aspects of the conveying field, including design, components and control logic.
Mr. Solt received his mechanical engineering degree from Lehigh University. He has been granted a number of patents on basic pneumatic conveying techniques, equipment and systems and has presented papers on pneumatic conveying around the world. He frequently presents in-plant training seminars for engineers, process, production, and maintenance personnel.
Mr. Solt is on the Editorial Advisory Board of the Powder and Bulk Engineering magazine and writes a column on design problems in pneumatic conveying systems. He has authored and presented numerous technical papers at the Powder and Bulk Solids Technical Program.
