Specifying the right equipments for handling different biomasses requires knowledge of the potential problems and the flow properties of the respective materials. With respect to the growing importance of biomass handling, BulkSolids Europe also featured a session solely dedicated to the handling and storage of this demanding material that comes in unlimited variations of shapes and sizes. The presentations in this session covered the characterisation of biomass and the key storage and handling hazards associated with these products to the design and simulation of large scale biomass bulk terminals and provided a comprehensive insight in the challenges that bulk material handling engineers will face when dealing with these materials.
The conference dinner took place on the evening of the first conference day at The Arches, located in an old subway station right below the central railway station. After the champagne reception, the dinner was announced in perfect Scottish style and all participants moved over to the “dinner” section. However, dinner was not allowed to start before everybody was enlightened about the important role which the Scottish national dish “Haggis” has played in the country’s history. Although presented in old Scottish language and almost impossible to be understood by foreign people, the speech was accompanied by such impressive gestures, that every one was at least able to see how thankful the Scottish people are for such a great gift. After dinner, the evening continued for quite a while with intense discussions and good drinks in the wonderful atmosphere of The Arches. BulkSolids Europe ended at the following day at approximately 5 pm with a champagne reception after two inspiring days of presentations, meetings and discussions.
The next BulkSolids Europe will take place in 2012, the exact date and location will be made available soon. BulkSolids Europe is a member of the Powder & Bulk Network, a world wide alliance of international exhibitions and conferences for bulk material handling and mechanical process technologies set up by Vogel Business Media and NürnbergMesse. BulkSolids India, the next event of the Powder & Bulk Network, will take place from April 6 to 8, 2011 in Mumbai, India. md
