Biomass Operations and Handling Technology - an overview of handling and storage issues with different biomass materials
Subjects areas covered include:
• Material types, flow properties and handling equipment requirements
• Self-heating, fire, explosion and safety
• Dust and degradation, pneumatic conveying and wear
• Explosion protection and ATEX regulations
• Engineering of equipment for storage and discharge
• Ship unloading
• Dust control and management
Who should attend?
Both courses are aimed at anyone working in ports or at sea who handles or is responsible for the safe transportation of bulk materials. This might include stevedores, operations supervisors, port managers, ships masters, port developers or cargo superintendents.
Bulk materials handling equipment suppliers, design consultants, maintenance personnel, managers and procurement executives are all recommended to attend to gain an understanding of the reasons for the varied behaviour of powders and particulate materials as they travel across the seas or are stored and transported from ports.
Both courses are delivered in association with ABTO: Association of Bulk Terminal Operators, and ABTO members will receive discounted fees.
