Qatar Dukhan Lithium Salt Powder Moisture-proof and Anti-caking Closed Conveying System Project

In the rapidly evolving landscape of industrial material handling, the need for reliable, efficient, and contamination-free transportation of sensitive powders has never been more critical. The Qatar Dukhan lithium salt powder moisture-proof, anti-caking closed conveying system project stands as a landmark example of advanced pneumatic conveying technology tailored for the harsh environmental conditions of the Middle East. This project, executed by Shandong Haide Powder Engineering Co., Ltd. (commonly referred to as Haide Powder), demonstrates the company's expertise in delivering customized solutions for lithium salt powder handling, a material that demands exceptional care due to its hygroscopic nature and tendency to agglomerate.

Project Background and Technical Challenges

Located in Dukhan, Qatar, the project site experiences extreme temperatures, high humidity, and frequent dust storms, all of which pose significant risks to the quality and flowability of lithium salt powder. Lithium salt powders are highly moisture-sensitive; even slight exposure to humidity can cause caking, lump formation, and degradation of chemical properties, leading to processing inefficiencies and product loss. Conventional open conveying systems are unsuitable for this application, as they cannot prevent moisture ingress or maintain a controlled atmosphere. Therefore, the client required a Qatar pneumatic conveying system that is fully enclosed, moisture-proof, and anti-caking, capable of operating reliably under the region's demanding climate. The Dukhan pneumatic conveying solution needed to integrate seamlessly with existing production lines while ensuring zero contamination and minimal maintenance.

System Design and Core Features

The Haide Powder engineering team designed a closed-loop dense phase pneumatic conveying system specifically for lithium salt powder pneumatic conveying. The system utilizes a positive pressure approach, where compressed air is used to propel the powder through a sealed pipeline network. Key design elements include:

• Moisture-Proof Enclosure: All conveying pipelines, hoppers, and connectors are constructed from stainless steel with specialized gaskets and seals to prevent any moisture from entering the system. The entire circuit is maintained under a slight positive pressure with dry air, effectively blocking ambient humidity.
• Anti-Caking Mechanisms: The system incorporates a proprietary dehumidification unit and a controlled air temperature system that ensures the conveying air is always below the dew point, preventing condensation on particle surfaces. Additionally, the dense phase mode reduces particle-to-particle contact, minimizing the risk of mechanical interlocking and subsequent cake formation.
• Closed Conveying Architecture: From the inlet hopper to the destination storage silos, the powder is completely isolated from the external environment. This moisture-proof, anti-caking closed pneumatic conveying design eliminates dust emissions, protects the product from contamination, and meets the strictest safety and environmental standards in Qatar.

The system is capable of handling throughput rates of up to 15 tonnes per hour, with a conveying distance exceeding 200 meters and multiple discharge points. Such flexibility makes it an ideal pneumatic conveying case for large-scale lithium salt production facilities.

Implementation and On-Site Performance

During the installation phase, the Haide Powder team worked closely with local contractors in Dukhan to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure. The system underwent rigorous testing under simulated desert conditions, including high-temperature runs (up to 50°C) and high-humidity cycles (relative humidity >90%). The results confirmed that the powder remained free-flowing with no measurable moisture uptake or caking after prolonged storage. The client reported a significant reduction in material waste and downtime compared to previous handling methods. This Qatar pneumatic conveying project has become a benchmark for the region's lithium battery material supply chain, demonstrating that even the most challenging powders can be conveyed safely and efficiently.
