Stavanger Li-Battery Powder Dilute-Phase Pneumatic Conveying

Pneumatic conveying case studies from Europe are essential references for advanced powder handling systems. In the Norwegian energy hub of Stavanger, a sophisticated dilute-phase pneumatic conveying system has been engineered specifically for lithium battery powders. This project demonstrates the capability of Shandong Headpowder Engineering Co., Ltd. (Headpowder) to deliver high-quality European pneumatic conveying solutions from its base in Shandong, China.

Lithium battery powder is notoriously difficult to handle. The material can be abrasive, hygroscopic, and potentially explosive. In Stavanger, where environmental regulations and safety standards are stringent, the conveying system had to meet both operational efficiency and strict safety requirements. Headpowder designed a dilute-phase pneumatic conveying system that uses a high-velocity air stream to entrain and transport the powder through the pipeline. This method is ideal for moderate conveying distances and for materials that do not require extremely gentle handling, such as certain lithium battery raw materials.

The system layout in Stavanger includes a positive-pressure blower, rotary airlock feeders, a custom-designed conveying line, and a reverse-jet bag filter at the discharge point. The blower provides a steady, controlled airflow. The rotary valve feeds the lithium battery powder into the conveying line at a consistent rate. The dilute-phase regime in the pipeline keeps the product suspended in air, preventing blockages and ensuring smooth flow. The receiving hopper is equipped with a dust collector to maintain a clean working environment and recover valuable product.

One of the main engineering challenges was the fineness and low bulk density of the lithium battery powder. This required careful calculation of air velocity, solid-to-air ratio, and pipeline diameter. Headpowder's engineers used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to optimize the system parameters. In addition, because the site is located in Stavanger, a coastal city with high humidity, the system includes moisture protection measures to avoid caking and contamination. Pneumatic conveying lines are manufactured from stainless steel with a high surface finish to reduce friction and prevent powder adhesion.

Europe is a demanding market for pneumatic conveying systems. Headpowder has successfully completed several European projects, and the Stavanger lithium battery plant is a flagship example. The project scope covered the complete engineering package: process design, equipment manufacturing, logistics to Norway, on-site installation supervision, and commissioning. The customer required full documentation and compliance with ATEX directives for explosive atmospheres. Headpowder delivered an ATEX-rated solution, including appropriate grounding, explosion-relief panels, and oxygen monitoring in the conveying gas.

The dilute-phase conveying system offers several advantages for this application. It has a simple structure with fewer moving parts, which reduces maintenance costs. It is also flexible in routing, allowing pipes to go overhead or underground to avoid obstacles. The high velocity ensures self-cleaning of the pipeline, which is beneficial when changing product grades. In the Stavanger plant, the system transports the lithium battery powder from the unloading station to storage silos and then to the production line, at a conveying capacity of several tons per hour. The system operates reliably even during the long, cold Norwegian winters, thanks to trace heating on critical components and careful insulation of outdoor sections.

Headpowder is dedicated to continuous innovation and excellence in powder handling technology. The company's engineering team performed extensive material testing before the final design, simulating various pneumatic conveying conditions to ensure optimal performance. The lithium battery powder was tested for particle size distribution, moisture content, and flowability. Based on these results, the dilute-phase system was tuned to achieve the lowest possible energy consumption while maintaining a stable conveying velocity. This attention to detail is what sets Headpowder apart in the competitive field of European pneumatic conveying.
