Issues to Consider when Upgrading Existing Port Facilities to Handle Other Products
When upgrading existing port facilities to handle multiple products in addition to the original designated product, there are numerous aspects to consider, particularly when the original facility was constructed some years ago. Generally, the driver for change is an opportunity to stimulate economic development in the region and increase the productivity of the port by attracting new users and a range of new products. However, bulk materials handling facilities are generally designed around a single product, so catering for new products requires careful consideration of several important factors. These include handling rates across a range of products, strength and stability of machines across varying bulk densities, environmental controls and approvals, site safety and management of change for site personnel.

Integrating Dynamic Scale Modelling with DEM to Enhanced Transfer Chute Design
DEM and DEM-Coupled simulations are widely used to study and predict the behavior of powders and granular materials in industrial processes. DEM parameters should reflect particle-level properties, but accounting for each particle's shape, size, and surface is often impractical on an industrial scale. Instead, a coarse-grained material representation is used, requiring calibration to match macroscopic behavior. DEM parameters derived from laboratory or physical modeling will vary from theoretical values, making accurate calibration essential for reliable analysis. This presentation discusses findings and intricacies of applying physical scale modelling, material characteristics and DEM to transfer chute design.
