Many industrial processes like granulation, particle coating, bio-mass pyrolysis, dryers contain rotating drum as a part of their processes. its rotation cause a gentle motion of particles. So, this gentle motion brings particle to the bed surface, where particles avalanche from top to bottom. The drum wall pulls particles up…
Screw conveyor uses the power of a rotating helical ribbon to transport solids from one place to another. They usually are horizontal or with a slight angle with respect to horizon. They have applications in many industries including chemical and petrochemical, power plants, cements, paper, flour, iron and steel foundries,…
Bubble columns are useful processing units to contact gas and liquid for inter-phase mass transfer and chemical reactions. They have been applied in chemical, biomedical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, waste-water treatment and other industries. Their construction is simple: a vertical column filled with liquid (mostly water) and a gas entering from bottom…
Gas solid fluidized bed is the most common solid-gas contractors in many processes like reactions, drying, coating and size separation. The unique heat & mass transfer capabilities between phases and robust mixing make fluidized bed a good candidate for many gas-solid processing units. In practical applications, they can operate in…
