Funded Activity Summary

Modelling of Bypass Pneumatic Conveying Systems. Many of the physical items we use in our daily lives have at some point required transport and handling as powdered or granular materials during the manufacturing process. Be it food (sugar, flour), chemicals (soap powders, detergents) or power generation (coal and ash); each of these industries uses the flexibility of pipelines as a transport mechanism. However, not all materials will convey reliably in conventional pipelines. This project will provide the fundamental understanding of how bypass systems can overcome this problem by conditioning the material along the pipeline length. The results will lead to better pipeline design outcomes that will ultimately expand the use of the cost effective process of pneumatic pipeline conveying.
