FUNDAMENTALS OF POWDER FLOW TECHNOLOGY TO HIGHLIGHT AIChE DAY AT THE 2009 NEW CHEM SHOW
Session Highlights Day one of Educational Programming

Powder Flow Technology is a critical issue to all industries in which bulk solids are being handled, processed, or refined as greater industry emphasis is being placed on process optimization, safety, and cost reductions. This session will provide insights into common flow problems that arise when powders and bulk solids are put into silos, bins, and hoppers, as well as ways to characterize a material's flow properties. Speaker Eric Maynard, a Senior Consultant with Jenike & Johanson, Inc. will provide proven, practical, and cost-effective perspectives on a wide range of related topics from retrofits to the design of latest facilities.

Topics addressed in the Fundamentals of Powder Flow Technology session will include:

• Typical bulk solids flow problems in silos, bins, and hoppers
• Results of flow problems
• Flow patterns and different hopper designs
• Ways to characterize flow properties (common tests and resulting data)

“It is technical and timely content and topics like the Powder Flow Technology session that keep CPI professionals on the cutting-edge of industry developments” said Clay Stevens, President of International Exposition Company, which produces and manages The NEW CHEM SHOW. Other sessions offered during AIChE Day during the first day of the three-day event include:

• Integrated Process Solutions for Solid-Liquid Separations
• Micro and Ultra-Filtration Membranes for Pharmaceutical and Food applications
• Chemical Product Design and Engineering
• Implementing Sustainability Practices into the Chemical Processing Industry
• Integrative Approach to Crystallization Process Development
• Mixing Basics and Single Phase Mixing
• Multiphase Mixing
• Troubleshooting Common Pneumatic Conveying Problems
• Process Safety Practices in the Chemical Processing Industry

About The NEW CHEM SHOW Since 1915, the CHEM SHOW (www.chemshow.com) has been the CPI professional’s single best resource for new products, new ideas and new services.  It’s a hands-on, interactive event that showcases a wide spectrum of emerging technologies.  The unique industry forum creates a dynamic marketing environment unequaled by any other process industries event in North America.  The NEW CHEM SHOW is produced and managed by International Exposition Company (IEC), 15 Franklin Street, Westport, CT 06880; phone: (203) 221-9232; fax: (203) 221-9260; e-mail: info@chemshow.com; website: www.chemshow.com. 

About AIChE
AIChE, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, is a professional society whose members work in
corporations, universities and government using their knowledge of chemical processes to develop safe
and useful products for the benefit of society. Through its varied programs, AIChE continues to be a
focal point for information exchange on the frontier of chemical engineering research in such areas as
nanotechnology, sustainability, hydrogen fuels, biological and environmental engineering, and chemical
plant safety and security. For more information about AIChE and AIChE Day at The NEW CHEM
