Abstract
A bulk material handling method includes: a) receiving and pneumatically conveying bulk material via pressurized dilute phase, dense phase, and/or hybrid dilute/dense phase, and/or vacuum drawn conveyance into bulk material containers; b) storing the bulk material in the containers; c) dispensing the bulk material from the containers into a bulk material transporter; d) transporting the transporter from the containers to a bulk material transmitting vessel; and e) discharging the bulk material from the transporter into the transmitting vessel, including releasing the bulk material from the transporter into the transmitting vessel, and pneumatically transmitting the bulk material out of the transmitting vessel to downstream bulk material processing equipment. Discharging also may include rejecting the bulk material from the transporter to a waste container. A related system, subsystems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.
