  • Method and a system of distribution of fluidizable materials
    Patent number: 7407345
    Abstract: A method and a system distribute fluidizable materials from a reservoir of materials to one or more material receiving units. The distribution system has at least two hydraulic levels between the reservoir and the material receiving units. The system further includes a fluidizing element with good dynamic response properties. The system can be used for distribution of alumina and/or fluoride to feeding equipment in electrolysis cells with a reduced consumption of fluidizing gas.

  • Method and a system for distribution of fluidisable materials
    Publication number: 20040191007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system for distribution of fluidisable materials from a reservoir (1) of materials to one or more material receiving units. In accordance with the invention the distribution system has at least two hydraulic levels between the reservoir and the material receiving units. The system further includes a novel fluidising element with good dynamic response properties. The system may preferably be used for distribution of alumina and/or fluoride to feeding equipment in electrolysis cells with a reduced consume of fluidising gas.
