Bulk Material Handling: How to Avoid Being a Statistic
📅 August 17, 2026
📍 Calgary TELUS Convention Centre, Calgary, AB, Canada
🕒 8:00 AM – 2:30 PM
We are delivering a bulk solids handling short course at COM 2026, focused on the fundamental principles that underpin reliable process and plant design..
This course examines how material flow properties, testing, and data-driven design decisions influence equipment performance and overall project outcomes. Through practical examples and case studies, attendees will gain insight into how early consideration of bulk solids behavior can reduce risk, improve reliability, and support more efficient flowsheet development.
What You’ll Learn
- Fundamental principles of bulk material handling and flow behavior
- The role of material testing in engineering design decisions
- Common pitfalls when bulk solids handling is overlooked
- Practical approaches to improving system reliability and performance
- The impact of handling design on flowsheet development and project economics
Who Should Attend
This course is intended for engineering professionals, consultants, EPC teams, plant managers, and technical specialists involved in mining and mineral processing projects.
Meet the Presenters
The course will be delivered by Jenike & Johanson engineers Dr. Ruixue Wang, P.Eng. and Brandon Trevis, G.I.T. with extensive experience in bulk solids handling, testing, and system design across a wide range of mining applications.
