Pneumatic Conveying: Dilute Phase

Setting the Standard: Dilute Pneumatic Conveying Installations for a Trusted Client

Mandate: The customer required a highly accurate system with 4 production lines to produce polymer pellets.

Our solution: 4 systems to handle Line-1 (PP1 and PP2) , Line-2 (PP3 and PP4). Additionally, System-II handles the finished goods pellets at a capacity of 4 TPH

Scorpio executed the project from layout preparation to final handover. The system is fully automated with PLC-SCADA. The design follows General Engineering Practice (GEP) standards. The material of construction for contact parts is stainless steel 304 (SS304), while non-contact parts are made from mild steel (MS).

What is Dilute Phase Conveying?

Powders are suspended in air at high velocities (20-30 m/sec). This results in efficient, continuous flow, with pressure drops along the pipeline. Pressure drop due to friction and work occurs at feed points and at bends. In traversing the bend, the particle will also impact the bend and be retarded. Experience is a major factor in arriving at the correct design of pneumatic conveying systems.

FAQ

1: What is dilute phase pneumatic conveying?
Dilute phase pneumatic conveying is a method of transporting bulk materials using high-velocity air streams at low pressure, keeping particles suspended in the airflow.

2: Which materials are suitable for dilute phase conveying?
Dilute phase is ideal for lightweight, non-abrasive, and free-flowing materials like flour, sugar, plastic pellets, grains, and light powders.

3: What are the advantages of dilute phase conveying?
Advantages include lower initial system cost, simpler design, continuous flow, easy maintenance, and flexibility in handling various materials.

4: How does dilute phase differ from dense phase conveying?
Dilute phase uses high-velocity, low-pressure airflow to suspend materials, while dense phase uses low velocity and high pressure to gently push materials through pipelines.

5: Can dilute phase systems handle fragile materials?
Dilute phase is not ideal for fragile or abrasive materials, as the high velocity may cause degradation or dust generation.

6: What industries commonly use dilute phase conveying?
Industries include food processing, plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture for handling light powders and granules.

7: Can Scorpio BMH design custom dilute phase conveying systems?
Yes, Scorpio BMH provides custom-designed dilute phase systems based on your material type, capacity, and plant layout to ensure optimal performance.

8: Is dilute phase pneumatic conveying energy-efficient?
While dilute phase requires more air volume and power compared to dense phase, it offers flexibility and lower equipment costs for suitable materials.
