A key feature of ABTO’s Mission is ‘Developing training schemes and educational seminars to facilitate advancement and best practice’.
Fire Prevention and Management in Biomass and Bulk Materials Storage
ABTO SUPPORTED EVENT
This conference is the 4th in The Wolfson’s ‘Silo Fires’ series with the aim to promote awareness of fires in silos and flat stores and how to prevent or manage these occurrences.
Fire Prevention and Management in Biomass and Bulk Materials Storage will highlight an issue that is quite common but not very well exposed or covered. Unlike explosions, it is not regulated by DSEAR so does not get the same attention, but fires in storage of bulk solids is probably more common than explosions.
The conference will open with a couple of case studies, moving on to discussing current scientific knowledge, finishing with advice on how to deal with the aftermath of fires in storage vessels, along with strategies for safety via design and operation practices.

Port and Terminal Operations for Bulk Cargoes
ONLINE SHORT COURSE
This popular and well received course will be held again in collaboration with The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology, when the demand justifies it.
Delegates will gain an understanding of the reasons for the varied behaviour of, and how to handle, bulk particulate materials as they travel across the seas or are stored and transported to and from port terminals.

Understanding the Total Cost of Ownership
ONLINE SHORT COURSE
This course will be held in collaboration with The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology and the Solids Handling & Processing Association (SHAPA), when the demand justifies it.
All too often the operational requirements of the equipment to be supplied to bulk terminals is not properly understood by either the buyers or the sellers. Purchase decisions purely based on price or a lack of knowledge of the characteristics of the material to be handled – or frequently both – will fail to understand the true cost of a bulk solids handling system to a business in terms of down-time; energy; maintenance and manning.
The OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE is to raise awareness amongst bulk terminal buyers of the need to behave in a better-informed way and equipment suppliers to understand the operational needs of the equipment they are supplying.
The course will be delivered through EXPERT PRESENTATIONS, CASE STUDIES and GROUP WORKING facilitated by The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology and the Solids Handling & Processing Association (SHAPA).

Other Short Courses Offered by The Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology
Particularly those courses dealing with the storage and discharge or the pneumatic conveying of bulk solids will be of interest to many in the bulk terminals’ community.
Pneumatic conveying of Bulk Solids – 14, 15 & 16 May
A basic course looking at system components, design techniques, operation and control of blow tank systems, explosion hazards, operational problems as well as interfacing storage bins with conveying systems. It also includes an optional practical workshop. This course will be repeated in October.
Pneumatic Conveying System Design – 3 & 4 June
An advanced course guiding delegates through the processes on how to obtain pipeline designs that work reliably, delivering the required throughput without unplanned maintenance and negative impact on quality of the powder being handled. This course will be repeated in November
Each course take place in Chatham, Kent at the Wolfson Centre premises, and give delegates the opportunity to speak to the experts and network with other attendees.
