Fluid sealing technology course to be repeated
High demand for specialised training in fluid sealing technology meant that the latest training course from the BHR Group was significantly oversubscribed, and the course will be repeated
But while hydrotransport is widely used there is still potential for cost savings, innovative application and transfer of technology and knowledge between different sectors.
Industry professionals need to know how to optimise handling techniques, develop and deploy new engineering solutions, troubleshoot existing applications and see how different sectors have solved complex problems so that new installations can provide an effective return on investment.
BHR Group's 16th International Slurry Handling and Pipeline Transport conference builds on the success of its predecessors by bringing together the leading experts and users from a diversity of industries.

The conference has been a regular international event for 30 years.
It presents an ideal opportunity to discuss and find out more about new research and developments, consider innovative solutions and explore technology transfer between industries.
The organisers have issued a call for papers for the conference, which will be held in Santiago, Chile, on 26-28 April 2004.
The venue has been chosen in recognition of Chile's leading position in the design and construction of slurry pipelines in recent years.
Papers are welcome on all aspects of hydro and slurry transportation including in-pipeline and free-surface flows.
The organisers are particularly keen to include practical case studies that cover economic assessments and operational experiences and focus on factors critical to successful deployment.
Presentations that deal with non-Newtonian flows, application of rheological principles and the successful deployment of computer modelling such as CFD to solve problems will also be especially welcome.
The event is designed for engineers from a wide range of industries, research establishments and public authorities whose responsibilities include slurry transportation or who are seeking novel solutions to materials transportation problems.
Industries where hydrotransport and slurry handling have been applied include chemical and process, food and pharmaceutical, oil and gas, mining and aggregates, water, dredging, coal and nuclear power generation, sludge and waste management, agrochemicals, bulk chemicals, specialty and fine chemicals, pulp and paper, building and construction, and ceramics.
The organisers anticipate that the conference will address many of the technologies relevant to hydrotransport and slurry handling: long distance pipeline design, construction and operation; in-plant slurry handling; slurry preparation, dewatering and liquor clarification; slurry treatment, transport and disposal; paste and high density tailings pumping; mine backfilling and hydrohoisting; bottom and fly ash slurry handling; flue gas desulphurisation operations; nuclear historic waste management; oil and gas rock cuttings, drilling muds, sand separation, hydrate and asphaltene deposition, GTL catalyst handling; chemical catalyst handling; sewage sludge handling; concrete and cement handling; equipment wear; on-line sampling and instrumentation; cleaning, jetting, pigging and blockage removal; coarse particle transport; non-Newtonian, non-settling slurries; pipes, valves and pump maintenance; economics; safety.
