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

Comprehensive Fluidization Seminar: Exploring Fundamental Hydrodynamics, Gas Distributor Design, and Advanced Operations

Join us for an immersive seminar and workshop focused on the intricacies of fluidization processes. Delve into the fundamental hydrodynamics of fluidization, gain insights into gas distributor design and operation, explore circulating fluidized beds and high-velocity systems, and master cyclone design and operation. Additionally, learn about dilute and dense-phase conveying, particle entrainment, erosion, particle attrition, and the intricacies of standpipes and solids flow systems.

Please note that paper manuals will not be provided during the seminar. Instead, you will be issued a dedicated tablet by PSRI to follow along with the seminar materials. This tablet will ensure an interactive and convenient learning experience throughout the seminar. After the seminar, your notes that you take on the tablet will be sent to you when we collect the tablets. 

Our fluidization seminar is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of these topics, offering valuable knowledge and insights for professionals in the field. By attending, you will have the opportunity to engage with industry experts, network with peers, and gain practical insights that can be directly applied to your work.

As part of your seminar experience, we will provide you with seminar materials to enhance your learning. Following the seminar, these materials will be accessible on the PSRI website (https://training.psri.org) through your login, ensuring you have continued access to valuable resources.

PSRI also recognizes the importance of supporting students in their educational pursuits. We are pleased to offer a student discount on our seminars.
