🗣 Kurt Naugler, MBA, Senior Project Engineer
🎤 Presented in partnership with Chemical Engineering
Jenike & Johanson will present a webinar on how silos and surge vessels can be used not only for storage, but as part of value-added process operations.
Surge vessels are widely used to store feedstock, in-process materials, and final product between unit operations such as blending, heating, cooling, and tempering. This session will show how understanding bulk material behavior—through testing and design—enables more reliable storage, controlled discharge, and integration of additional processing steps within silos and bins.
What You’ll Learn
- Case studies of operations successfully integrated into silos and surge vessels
- Key factors to consider when evaluating material and process suitability for in-silo processing
- How material behavior impacts the feasibility of value-added operations within storage systems
- Practical considerations for improving performance by integrating processing steps into surge vessels
Who Should Attend
- Process and plant engineers
- Project and design engineers
- Operations and reliability professionals
- Anyone involved in bulk solids storage, handling, or processing
