The pursuit of better energy efficiency solutions is a constant subject. Here we present a number of results obtained during the development of an industrial equipment; a bulk solids feeder called Batchpump. With the proposal of being an alternative to the conventional blow tanks, having as main differentials: energy efficiency; simpler installation; lower dimensions; and lower cost of production. In this work there is presented the results obtained for both the Batchpump and a conventional blow tank applied to a  pneumatic conveying system, with limestone powder, on a pipeline with 133m of total length, with an inlet pressure of 4 bar, the Batchpump obtained results of conveying rate being 25% lower and the air consumption being 30% lower validating the initial hypothesis: to consume less energy with comparable transport rate. We present in the results the data in steady state transport cycle in dense phase regime.

Through the experimental research of granular silica in dense phase pneumatic conveying in the tyre plants, the characteristic parameters of granular silica pneumatic conveying have been obtained. By adjusting the main and bypass pipe pressure values, the stable plug flow conveying of granular silica can be realized, which considerably reduces the broken ratio of the granular silica. The plug flow conveying will be even more stable, when the opening blow tank pressure is set at zero. Additionally the same research has also proven that bypass valves open pressure in the end of pipeline will affect the stability of the entire conveying system as well.

Based on establishment of the mathematical model about the carbon black dense phase pneumatic conveying, using computational fluid dynamics ( referred to as CFD) methods, this paper stimulated the carbon black flow state inside the bent pipe. Through simulation and analysis, the carbon black particles' flow condition along the bent pipe, the carbon black particles' distribution variation at the bent pipe cross-section, the bent pipe part where worn most easily, the fluid pressure cloud and the optimum R/D have been gotten. All these provide basis for the research and design of carbon black dense phase pneumatic conveying system.

This paper reports the current development of technologies to analyse the conveying performance of bypass low velocity dense phase pneumatic conveying system for transporting powder bulk materials and slug flow low velocity dense phase pneumatic conveying system for transporting granular sized bulk materials. It reveals that the bypass system can be operated at a lowered air velocity than conventional pipe line and slug flow system can be also controlled to operate at a lower velocity zone. Hence these technologies have the potential to extend the conveying capability of a pneumatic conveying system to a broader range of materials, also provide better performance in reduction in pipe wear and product degradation.

The article analyses the main factors such as the species and character of the carbon black, the conveying pressure and gas-flow rate which influence the flow character of carbon black during pneumatic conveying. And also studies the flow character of carbon black in dense phase pneumatic conveying system with experiment. It raises the view that the carbon black with narrow particle diameter distribution, especially with bigger size is favorable for saving energy and reducing fragmentation; the conveying pressure approach lowest point should be chosen during carbon black pneumatic conveying, and the quantity of elbow pipe should be used as less as possible; on condition that the conveying capacity is guaranteed, the lower air feeding volume is preferable; the higher the conveying pressure is, the lower the fragmentation of the carbon black will be. The article also supplies the reference for technology parameter choosing and carbon black conveying system design.
