Abstract: In a method of controlling operation of a pneumatic conveying system (1) including a source (6) for generating transport air flow in an active state, transport piping (4) and multiple material inlet points in at least one branch (B1, B2, B3, B4) of the transport piping and communicating with the system through discharge valves (3) controlling emptying of associated material inlet points, material transport conditions of the system are sensed for each inlet point emptying operation, the material transport conditions are sensed at one or more remote locations from the material inlet points and a valve open time for the material inlet point discharge valves is determining for each emptying operation and based on a processing of feedback from material transport condition sensors (11, 12) of the system. A pneumatic conveying system as well as a system (16) for controlling operation of the pneumatic conveying system are also provided.

Abstract: Vacuum waste collection system is provided (1a) by successively selecting a number of branches in a sequence for emptying and transport of waste, wherein the intersection (1, 2, 3, 4) of each next branch in the sequence is at the same o shorter transport distance to a central waste collection point (6) compared to the intersection (1, 2, 3, 4) of the previous branch in the sequence, and collectively transporting accumulated waste from the selected branches towards the central waste collection point (6) by successively operating the air inlet valves (av1, av2, av3, av4, av5) of the corresponding branches.
