SUMMARY:Online Bulk Materials Handling Course\, March 2026
DESCRIPTION:The storage\, handling and transportation of bulk solid materials are major activities for a vast number and variety of industries throughout the world. These range from the gentle handling of very small quantities of material in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries to the vast quantities handled and processed by the mining and mineral companies. This diversity is particularly evident in Australia where the wide-ranging nature and scale of operations is somewhat unique. \nConsiderable advances continue to be made in research\, development\, application and implementation of the technologies associated with various aspects of bulk solids handling. \nThis course will be of particular interest to a wide range of industries including: \n\nMining and mineral production processing\nPower generation\nEnergy and environment\nChemical and petrochemical process industries\nAgriculture processing and production\nManufacturing\nPharmaceuticals\nFood industry\n\nCost\nEarly Bird Delegate Registration: $2\, 475+ GST (Before 23rd February\, 2026) \nDelegate Registration: $2\, 775 + GST \n5 or more delegates receive a 10% discount\, all fees are in Australian dollars and must be paid prior to the event. \nFees include electronic program notes and extra reading materials. \nDownload course brochure

SUMMARY:Webinar: Materials Calibration for DEM simulation of bulk solids\, with Dr. Daniel Grasser\, TUNRA Bulk Solids & LEAP Australia
DESCRIPTION:Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations are an incredibly useful virtual tool to predict the behaviour of a bulk solid. However\, it is necessary to calibrate and experimentally validate your simulations with a set of material tests that represent a comprehensive set of flow regimes. In addition\, the abrasive wear of equipment can be predicted when the model is calibrated based on experimentally obtained wear rates. Join Dr. Daniel Grasser from TUNRA in a joint webinar\, hosted by LEAP Australia\, to discuss recommendations and best practices on materials calibration for DEM simulation of bulk solids. \nRegister here
