Powder science at the service of industries.
Powders are everywhere!
Almost all industries manage or use powders.
In each field, it is estimated that powders with unique characteristics are involved. Since they are used for specific purposes, it is assumed that the powders used are specific. Ultimately, it is estimated that no model can account for their behavior.
Powders are indeed complex fluids. But these fluids obey the universal laws of fluid mechanics.
While the solutions may be specific, the problem is universal.
Crucial issues in multiple sectors
First and foremost, there are safety issues:
- For the health of people working in contact with powders: workers, technicians, and engineers.
- For the environment, with high risks of water, soil, and air pollution.
- For populations living near production or storage sites.
Powder control is a matter of corporate social responsibility.
This is especially true since the handling and storage of certain powders is particularly dangerous.
Second, there are economic issues:
- High production and insurance costs.
- Significant inventory management costs.
- Financial losses due to the degradation of stored powders.
Poor powder management leads to production stoppages, delays, and even legal penalties.
