Shandong Headpowder Engineering Co., Ltd. (headpowder) has successfully delivered a state-of-the-art pneumatic conveying solution for the lithium salt ultrafine powder anti-agglomeration closed conveying project in Sohar, Oman. This project addresses the critical challenge of transporting highly cohesive lithium salt ultrafine powders while preventing particle agglomeration during the entire conveying process. The system is designed to maintain product quality, ensure operational safety, and achieve high conveying efficiency in a fully enclosed environment. By integrating advanced pneumatic conveying technology with specialized anti-agglomeration mechanisms, headpowder ensures that the ultrafine powder remains free-flowing and homogeneous, meeting the stringent requirements of the lithium battery material supply chain in the Middle East.
The core products deployed in this project include the Oman pneumatic conveying system, the Sohar pneumatic conveying line, and the lithium salt ultrafine powder pneumatic conveying module. Each component is engineered to handle the unique physical properties of lithium salt powders, which are prone to moisture absorption, electrostatic charging, and particle bridging. The anti-agglomeration closed pneumatic conveying system employs a combination of inert gas purging, controlled air velocity, and specialized pipeline surface treatments to minimize powder sticking and lump formation. The conveying path is fully sealed to prevent any external contamination and to maintain a dry, inert atmosphere, which is essential for lithium salt stability. Headpowder's proprietary design also incorporates real-time pressure monitoring and automated flow control to adapt to variations in powder feed rate and density, ensuring consistent performance under the hot and humid climate conditions of Sohar.
The anti-agglomeration closed pneumatic conveying system is the cornerstone of this project. Unlike traditional open conveying methods, the closed system eliminates exposure to ambient moisture, which is a primary cause of lithium salt caking. Headpowder integrates a multi-stage de-agglomeration device at the feeding point, where a mechanical agitator breaks up any initial soft lumps before the powder enters the conveying line. During transport, the system maintains a low relative humidity environment by using dry compressed air or nitrogen as the carrier gas. Additionally, the pipeline interior is lined with a low-friction, anti-static material that reduces electrostatic attraction between particles. The conveying velocity is carefully optimized—not too high to cause particle attrition, not too low to allow sedimentation. These measures collectively ensure that the lithium salt ultrafine powder exits the conveying system in a free-flowing state, ready for downstream processing or packaging. The closed nature also protects operators from inhaling fine dust and prevents environmental emissions, aligning with Oman's industrial safety and sustainability standards.
The project is located in Sohar, a major industrial port city in the Sultanate of Oman. Sohar's strategic position on the Arabian Sea makes it a hub for petrochemical, metal, and advanced material processing industries. The lithium salt ultrafine powder handling facility here serves both local battery manufacturers and export markets. The pneumatic conveying system is designed to operate reliably under Sohar's extreme ambient temperatures (up to 50°C) and high humidity (often exceeding 80%). To cope with these conditions, all conveying components are corrosion-resistant and equipped with thermal insulation and moisture barriers. The system's control cabinet is housed in a climate-controlled enclosure, and the conveying lines are routed through shaded, ventilated areas to minimize heat gain. headpowder's engineering team conducted on-site surveys in Sohar to adapt the conveying layout to the existing plant footprint, ensuring seamless integration with upstream and downstream equipment. This project demonstrates headpowder's capability to deliver customized pneumatic conveying solutions for ultrafine powders in challenging Middle Eastern environments.

For more information or to discuss your specific conveying requirements, please contact the project manager, Mr. Zhang, via WeChat: 15662777102.
The lithium salt ultrafine powder anti-agglomeration closed conveying system installed in Sohar operates with a conveying capacity of 2 to 5 tons per hour, depending on the powder's bulk density and particle size distribution (typically D50 < 10 μm). The system uses a positive pressure dense phase conveying mode, with a conveying distance of approximately 150 meters and a vertical lift of 12 meters. The carrier gas is nitrogen with a purity of 99.99%, supplied at a pressure of 0.6 MPa. The pipeline material is 304L stainless steel with an internal surface roughness of Ra ≤ 0.8 μm to minimize adhesion. The de-agglomeration unit at the inlet chamber features a rotating paddle with a variable speed drive, capable of breaking agglomerates up to 5 mm in diameter. The system is fully automated with a PLC-based control system, providing real-time monitoring of differential pressure, gas flow rate, powder temperature, and humidity. All data is logged for traceability and quality assurance. headpowder's engineering team provided comprehensive commissioning support and operator training on-site in Sohar, ensuring that the local staff can maintain optimal performance.
