Pneumatic conveying test setups simulate plant conditions
Tests prove that expensive line boosters can be eliminated in dense-phase pneumatic conveying of polymer.
In late 1987, a major chemical manufacturer approached the test center at Smoot Co. to run conveying tests on an absorbent polymer. The manufacturer's main concern was that the product, which weighed 15 lb/ft3 and ranged in particle size from -20 to +200 mesh, not be degraded during conveying.
