Pneumatic Conveying
Pneumatic conveying is the movement of solids from one place to another using a compressible gas, typically air under pressure. This movement is generated by a pressure differential, always from higher to lower pressure. Material is thus transported from areas of higher pressure to those of lower pressure through a transport pipeline that eliminates contamination from the plant environment, resulting in low maintenance due to reduced damage to equipment by external agents. Transport can utilize high, medium, or low pressures, either in vacuum (negative pressure) or positive pressure (blow).
General Concept
According to «Engineering of Physical Operations 1, Pneumatic Conveying. See Document.»
Classification and Types
Pneumatic conveying systems are classified based on either the concentration of solids within the transport pipeline or the source of pressure differential generation.
