This article presents a detailed case study of a positive pressure pneumatic conveying system designed for lithium salt and inorganic salt powder handling in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia. The project was successfully implemented by Haide Powder, a leading engineering firm specializing in bulk material handling solutions. The system delivers high-efficiency, dust-free, and reliable powder transfer for the local chemical and mineral processing industries. The core application involves the pneumatic conveying of fine lithium salt and inorganic salt powders, which are notoriously difficult to handle due to their hygroscopic nature, abrasiveness, and tendency to agglomerate. The solution employs a positive pressure conveying method, ensuring continuous and stable material flow over long distances, even in the harsh desert environment of Saudi Arabia.
Located in the industrial city of Yanbu on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, the project required a robust pneumatic conveying system to transport lithium salt and inorganic salt powders from storage silos to various processing points. The customer, a major player in the lithium battery materials and specialty chemicals sector, demanded a system that could operate under extreme ambient temperatures, high humidity, and frequent sandstorms. Haide Powder's engineering team conducted a thorough site assessment and designed a customized positive pressure pneumatic conveying system. The system uses a Roots blower to generate compressed air, which propels the powder through a closed pipeline network. The positive pressure method was chosen because it effectively prevents moisture ingress and maintains product purity, which is critical for lithium salt applications in battery manufacturing and other high-tech industries.
The lithium salt inorganic salt powder positive pressure pneumatic conveying system incorporates several advanced features. First, the conveying line is constructed from wear-resistant stainless steel with smooth interior surfaces to minimize friction and product degradation. Second, the system includes a series of diverters and rotary valves that allow precise control of material flow to multiple destinations. Third, the positive pressure design ensures that the powder remains in a fluidized state, reducing the risk of blockages even for fine and cohesive powders. The system also features a fully automated control panel with PLC and HMI, enabling real-time monitoring of pressure, flow rate, and material levels. This level of automation is essential for the Saudi Yanbu facility, where labor costs are high and operational reliability is paramount. The entire system is enclosed and sealed, meeting the strictest environmental and safety standards for dust explosion prevention and employee health protection.
This case exemplifies the expertise of Haide Powder in providing Saudi pneumatic conveying solutions for the lithium salt and inorganic salt powder industry. The Yanbu project is a benchmark for positive pressure pneumatic conveying in the Middle East region. The system handles lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, and various inorganic salt powders such as sodium sulfate and potassium chloride. The conveying distance exceeds 200 meters horizontally and 30 meters vertically, with a capacity of up to 10 tons per hour. The positive pressure technique ensures that the fine powder is delivered without contamination or moisture absorption, which is a common challenge in the humid coastal climate of Yanbu. By using this system, the client has achieved a significant reduction in maintenance downtime and product waste, while improving overall plant efficiency.
