Abstract
The chapter discusses the design considerations of long-distance pneumatic transport and pipe branching system. The pneumatic transportation of bulk solids through pipelines has been in existence for over one hundred years. Some of the earlier applications included the vacuum unloading of grain from ships, and the extraction of sawdust from timber mills. This method of conveying now is being selected for an increasing number of industrial applications and products and hence, is playing a more vital and integral role in numerous bulk handling operations and processes. This chapter summarizes some of the major design considerations that have resulted from this work in relation to long-distance and pipe-branching applications.
