Bulk Solids and Bulk Powders Cooling Technology

Over the years, cooling bulk solids such as sugar, fertilizer, chemicals, plastics, dried biosolids, minerals, and many other types of grains, crystals and bulk powders using the traditional technologies does not guarantee quality final products. As a result, the business productivity was greatly affected and most of all this technology has lots of disadvantages to deal with.
In response to this challenge, leading industrial companies together with their best scientists and engineers designed a laudable breakthrough technology that efficiently cools bulk solids and bulk powders of all types, the bulk solids cooling technology. This world leading technology has been widely use in a variety of bulk powder applications worldwide. It has also gained the reputation for effectively facilitating the process of cooling bulk powders.
How It Works
First, this technology facilitate a slow and controlled product flow by allowing the bulk powders and bulk solids materials to pass slowly downward between a series of vertical hollow heat exchange plates. And after that, the materials undergo indirect plate cooling and then it passes through a mass flow technology wherein the mass flow discharge feeder creates uniform product velocity through the cooler and regulates the product flow rate. And lastly, it passes a vertical configuration where bulk solids pass through the vertical cooler by gravity.
Why It's Better
This bulk solids cooler technology is considered to be super-efficient compared to other competing technology since it uses up to 90% less energy. The indirect plate cooling was specifically designed with out the use of air in the cooling process and therefore eliminates the need of a large horsepower electric drives and the associated heat losses making this technology as the most efficient bulk solids cooler technology available.
Furthermore, this technology provides a uniform final product temperatures since the product moves with uniform velocity through the heat exchanger which refer to as a mass flow design. This feature, combined with long residence times (typically 5-10 minutes), enables even temperature distribution as the product passes through the heat exchanger, producing remarkably stable and uniform final product temperatures.
Since this technology has a vertical configuration, the design is both compact and modular which means that additional heat exchanger plate banks can be stacked if increased cooling capacity is required in the future. The compact installation footprint makes this design easy to integrate in existing plants and is ideal for de-bottlenecking, revamps and capacity increases.
The mere fact that this technology was designed with an indirect plate cooling, air is not used in the entire cooling process. The installation costs were also reduced since there is no need to install unnecessary air handling equipment such as large diameter air ducting, motors, fans, scrubbers, chillers, and emissions controls. Fines, dusts, and odors were also eliminated because air was not used to the direct cooling of the product courtesy of the indirect plate cooling design.
Lastly, this technology produces a superior final product since the movements of the products during the entire process was slow and completely controlled. And because of this, it helps prevents product abrasion and degradation, thus, there is no change in the particle characteristics. The risks of bacterial contamination, odor contamination, and product moisture content changes were also eliminated since air has no contact with the products during the whole process.
Compared to other competing technologies, this bulk solids and bulk powders cooling technology is way far superior in terms of efficiency, design, and effectiveness. Thus, employing this ultra-efficient cooling technology could not only help saves energy but at the same time emissions are eliminated and most of all this will help in improving your business productivity.

Education Crisis Results in Poorly Prepared Future Workers of the World

Following is a more literary form of the business proposal that I have presented to various chamber of commerce in the Los Angeles area. It is interesting to note that unlike academic theory or bureaucratic laced government-run institutions, that which works in the real world works virtually ignoring criticism or conjecture. Yes, Mr. Forbes, capitalism may not only save us but education as well. Here's to the innovative, problem solving, get 'er done spirit of the entrepreneur. Peace! Over the past 17 years, the percentage of four-year college and university students who graduate has dipped more than 10 percentage points, despite increases in enrollment, according to the Council for Aid to Education and the National Governors Association. About 42 percent of students entering four-year colleges or universities graduate (Al Branch, CBS Business Network). But there's more. And it gets worse. Every 26 seconds another student drops out of public high school which transl...

Science Fair Projects: Are They Important for Science Education?

The United States need more science students. And we need new thinking and new programs on how to motivate young students to become scientists. We need more good science fair project programs. Many minority students, who have great potential are not entering the science arena. In order to get a good scientific career in health care, or the biological sciences, you have to pass freshman chemistry at the university level. This is a very difficult course and many wannabe scientists get discouraged and drop out even before they get started. About 65% of the American scientists are white males. During the next forty years, white males will compose about 20% of the population. The problem is that we must produce more qualified nonwhite scientists or we will lose our competitive position in the world. One of the main reasons that America has been able to progress in the scientific community of the world is that super students from countries like India and China come to the U. S. to study ...
