Training

We don’t stop at solution space.  We believe that training is an important part of maintaining success.  Thus, PSRI offers intensive fluidization seminars all over the world, provides design manuals, procedures, methods, and webinars.  PSRI believes that giving someone a fish is not as good as teaching someone how to fish. 

Fluidization Seminar and Workshop

The purpose of the PSRI Fluidization Seminar is to supply instruction on the theory, design and operation of fluidized beds and solids transfer systems for engineers new to the field, or those who want to improve their understanding of the field.  The four-day course covers the basics of fluidized beds and solids transfer, and then discusses how best to design and operate the most critical elements of fluidized beds and solids transfer such as cyclones, standpipes, gas distributors and pneumatic conveying lines.

 

  • Basic Fluidization Hydrodynamics
  • Gas Distributor Design and Operation
  • Circulating Fluidized Beds and High-Velocity Systems
  • Cyclone Design and Operation
  • Dilute and Dense-Phase Conveying
  • Particle Entrainment
  • Erosion and Particle Attrition
  • Standpipes and Solids Flow Systems

Our fluidization seminar and workshop is now digital.  During the seminar, we will provide you with a tablet to follow along with.  After the seminar, you will have access to the seminar material on the PSRI website (www.psri.org) under your membership login.

PSRI offers a student discount on our seminars. If you are currently enrolled as a student, please make sure you use the ContactUS page to request information on how to obtain the student discount!

 

We also have the capabilities to host a custom seminar for your organization. This can be done on-site at your facility, a local hotel, virtually, or at the PSRI facilities in Chicago, IL, USA. The benefits of a Hosted Seminar are that it can be custom tailored to your organizations process. Contact us today to discuss how we can custom tailor a seminar for you.
