Chemical Engineering Interview Question:

What are some common problems associated with dense phase pneumatic conveying?

Submitted by: Administrator

Dense phase pneumatic conveying, typically experiences one common problem from system to system: plugging in the line due to a malfunctioning booster valve. Dense phase systems require these booster systems to introduce new, pressurized air. These boosters are nearly always accompanied by a check valve. If the check valve becomes stuck, the product is allowed to plug the line.
