Tridiagonal Solutions Inc, a global chemical process 
enhancement solutions provider, will be hosting a live free 
webinar on “Fundamental Understanding Of Solids Flow 
Processes : A Key To Successful Process Development” on 28th 
July, 2016  from 9:00 am to 10:00 am CDT, 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm 
CEST and 3:00 pm – 4: 00 pm UK. 

Solids flow processes are practically everywhere in the 
process industries - and they have been around for a long 
time too. Some well known examples are pneumatic conveying, 
blast furnaces, fluidized beds, tablet coating, spray drying 
etc. Despite being in practice for a  long  time, however, 
the development of such processes is still rife with 
empiricism largely due to a lack of fundamental 
understanding of solids flow behavior. Solids flow is very 
different from fluid flow principles of fluid flow cannot be  
applied to flow of solids.

This webinar will provide insights on modeling techniques 
that help engineers understand solids flow better. The 
Discrete Element Method (DEM) can be used to realistically 
simulate solids flow. DEM/CFD hybrid models have been used 
to gain fundamental understanding of processes such as 
granular mixing (and segregation), spray drying, roasting 
and calcination of catalyst support. Examples demonstrating 
the successful use of DEM, CFD techniques for process 
improvement in the Oil & gas, Pharmaceutical and Chemical 
(specialty, fine and consumer) industries will be presented.
