In the industrial landscape of Qatar, the efficient and reliable transportation of rubber-plastic powder materials has become a critical requirement for many manufacturing facilities. One notable application is the pneumatic conveying system deployed at the Umm Said industrial complex, designed specifically to handle abrasive and fine powders with minimal degradation and maximum throughput. This case study highlights the successful implementation of a wear-resistant pipeline conveying solution by Shandong Haide Powder Engineering Co., Ltd., a leading provider in the field of pneumatic conveying systems.
The Umm Said facility, located in Qatar, processes rubber and plastic powder blends that are notoriously abrasive and prone to clogging in conventional conveying systems. The material’s fine particle size and high friction coefficient posed significant challenges for traditional mechanical conveyors, leading to frequent maintenance downtime, pipe wear, and product contamination. The client required a solution that could handle the abrasive nature of the rubber-plastic powder while maintaining consistent flow rates and minimizing energy consumption. This is where Haide Powder’s expertise in pneumatic conveying and wear-resistant pipeline technology came into play.
Shandong Haide Powder Engineering Co., Ltd. designed and installed a complete pneumatic conveying system tailored to the specific material properties and operational demands of the Umm Said plant. The system utilizes a dense-phase conveying approach, which reduces air velocity and material degradation while ensuring gentle handling of the rubber-plastic powder. Central to the system’s durability is the use of wear-resistant pipeline materials, including ceramic-lined steel pipes and hardened alloy bends, which significantly extend the service life of the conveying pathway. This wear-resistant pipeline technology is crucial for handling abrasive powders like rubber-plastic blends, as it minimizes internal erosion and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
The pneumatic conveying system installed at Umm Said incorporates several advanced features. First, the air supply system is optimized for low-pressure, high-volume operations, allowing efficient transport of the rubber-plastic powder over distances exceeding 200 meters. Second, the pipeline layout includes multiple diverters and receivers, enabling centralized distribution to multiple production silos. Third, the control system is fully automated, with real-time monitoring of pressure, flow rate, and material level, ensuring consistent performance and early detection of potential blockages. The wear-resistant pipeline design, combined with a robust sealing mechanism, prevents dust leakage and maintains a clean working environment, which is essential for compliance with local environmental regulations in Qatar.
Since the commissioning of the Haide Powder pneumatic conveying system, the Umm Said facility has experienced a dramatic reduction in maintenance costs and downtime. The wear-resistant pipeline has demonstrated a service life three times longer than conventional steel pipes, even under continuous operation with the abrasive rubber-plastic powder. The system’s energy efficiency is also notable, with a 15% reduction in power consumption compared to the previous mechanical conveying method. Furthermore, the gentle conveying action preserves the integrity of the powder particles, resulting in improved product quality and reduced waste. The client reported a 99.5% availability rate over the first year of operation, validating the reliability of the Qatar pneumatic conveying solution.

The wear-resistant pipeline used in the Umm Said installation features a composite construction: an outer steel shell for structural strength, an intermediate damping layer to absorb vibration, and an inner ceramic lining with a hardness rating of HRC 85-90. This design effectively resists the abrasive wear caused by the high-velocity flow of rubber-plastic powder. The pipeline sections are joined using flanged connections with high-temperature gaskets, ensuring leak-proof operation even under pressure fluctuations. The system also includes wear-resistant elbows with a radius of 10 times the pipe diameter, reducing turbulence and particle impact. These technical innovations are the result of Haide Powder’s ongoing research and development in the field of pneumatic conveying and wear-resistant materials.
The successful implementation of the Qatar pneumatic conveying system for rubber-plastic powder at Umm Said has opened doors for similar applications across the Middle East and beyond. The technology is adaptable to other abrasive powders such as limestone, fly ash, cement, and metal oxides. Haide Powder is currently exploring further expansion of its wear-resistant pipeline solutions for the petrochemical and mining sectors in Qatar. The company’s commitment to quality and innovation ensures that each project benefits from the latest advancements in pneumatic conveying engineering.
