Shandong Headpowder Engineering Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as headpowder) successfully delivered a comprehensive pneumatic conveying system for lithium salt powder in Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. This project stands as a benchmark case in the field of pneumatic conveying, particularly for highly sensitive and combustible materials. The entire system was designed and installed to meet the strictest safety standards for anti-static and closed conveying, ensuring zero leakage, minimal contamination, and maximum operational reliability. The Fujairah lithium salt powder conveying line demonstrates headpowder's expertise in handling fine, explosive powders under extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperature and humidity typical of the Middle East region.
Lithium salt powder, widely used in battery manufacturing and energy storage applications, presents unique handling difficulties. Its fine particle size, hygroscopic nature, and electrostatic sensitivity make it prone to static buildup, which can lead to dust explosions or product degradation. In the Fujairah project, the client required a fully enclosed, anti-static conveying solution that could safely transport lithium salt powder from storage silos to processing points without any dust emission or static charge accumulation. The system also needed to withstand the abrasive nature of the powder while maintaining a consistent flow rate. headpowder's engineering team tackled these challenges by integrating advanced grounding techniques, explosion-proof components, and specialized pipe materials that dissipate static electricity efficiently.
The heart of the Fujairah project is a custom-designed anti-static closed pneumatic conveying system. This system utilizes a combination of dense-phase and dilute-phase conveying technologies, optimized for lithium salt powder properties. All conveying pipelines are made from conductive stainless steel or lined with anti-static polymers, and every joint and flange is electrically bonded to a common grounding grid. The system operates under negative pressure, ensuring that any accidental leak draws air inward rather than releasing dust. Additionally, the entire loop is enclosed from the feed point to the destination, with no open vents or rotating parts exposed to the atmosphere. This design not only prevents static ignition but also protects the powder from moisture and cross-contamination. The Fujairah lithium salt powder pneumatic conveying line has been tested and certified to meet international safety standards for explosive atmospheres (ATEX/IECEx).
Several distinctive features make this project a standout example of headpowder's capabilities. First, the system incorporates a multi-stage filtration unit with HEPA filters to capture any ultrafine particles, achieving near-zero emission levels. Second, a real-time static monitoring system tracks electrostatic charge levels along the pipeline and automatically triggers alarms or corrective actions if thresholds are exceeded. Third, the conveying velocity is precisely controlled to prevent particle attrition and reduce wear on elbows and bends. Fourth, the entire system is controlled by a PLC-based SCADA platform, allowing remote operation and data logging for maintenance optimization. These features are particularly critical for lithium salt powder, which is both valuable and hazardous. The Fujairah project serves as a reference model for other lithium processing facilities in the UAE and the broader Middle East region.
