Faster Discharge Rates

Transfers with TEI Fluidizer

Discharge rates using the TEI Fluidizer have been tested on Cement and Type "C" Fly-ash where increases have been recorded as high as 20% and 70% (respectively).  Below is a graphical example from a cement silo that had stopped flowing prior to PMT being used.  It shows the improved transfer effects of PMT, , and compares the discharge rates with the same silo after being filled.

The blow-down, back-pressure graph below shows the effect of the TEI Fluidizer on a dense-phase transfer pod
that was being fed by air-slides fitted with our PMT test unit.

Note:

• The graphed performance measured with PMT is represents discharge rates from a silo where the plant's normal equipment had ceased effective discharge.
• The strong and sustained pressures above 2.5 psi, showing that the pod was so full that after the standard time blow-down time, cement was still discharging.
• The occasional drop to the baseline occurred during equipment change-overs’ or high-level signals from the receiving silo.
• Just prior to connecting PMT the back-pressures were mainly dragging along the 1 psi
  baseline.

For comparison without PMT; the graph below shows the performance of the same equipment a few days later, after the tank was freshly filled.
Note, the pressure regularly drops to 1 psi which suggests the pod was only partially filled.
