About Clyde Pneumatic Conveying
Clyde are a specialist engineering company delivering advanced dense-phase pneumatic conveying and process injection systems to the global Energy and Process industries.
For over 50 years, we have engineered robust, high-performance systems to safely, efficiently, and reliably handle challenging bulk materials. Our technologies are installed in demanding industrial environments worldwide, where performance, process stability, and long-term reliability are critical.
Our core materials handling operations are underpinned by a strong UK air pollution control service and maintenance capability, enabling our customers to benefit from responsive support, reduced downtime, and long-term operational performance.
We combine proven engineering principles with continuous innovation to support both traditional heavy industry and emerging energy transition applications.
Supporting Industry and Energy Transition
Our technologies support both established heavy industries and emerging process applications, including:
- Conventional power generation
- Waste-to-energy facilities
- Cement and minerals processing
- Metallurgical operations
- Advanced thermal processes
- Biomass and plastic-to-fuel gasification
Our systems enable safe, controlled handling and injection of materials that are fundamental to process efficiency, emissions control, fuel substitution, and circular resource utilisation.
Our Competitive Strength
Our market position is built on four integrated strengths that, together, differentiate us from conventional conveying suppliers.
1. Pioneer of Dense-Phase Pneumatic Conveying
We have been at the forefront of dense-phase conveying technology for more than five decades.
Our systems are engineered to minimise pipe wear, reduce material degradation, and optimise air consumption while maintaining reliable long-distance transfer. With an extensive global reference base across power generation, cement, waste-to-energy, steel, minerals, and specialist processing industries, we provide technology that is both proven and continually refined.
2. Proven Expertise in Process Injection Technologies
We have extensive experience in the controlled injection of bulk materials into pressurised industrial processes.
We design and supply engineered injection systems capable of introducing powders and granular materials safely and consistently into positive pressure environments such as:
- Boilers and thermal reactors
- Metallurgical smelters and secondary metals processes
- High-pressure chemical and thermal conversion systems
- Gasification units converting woody biomass or end-of-life plastics into reusable fuels
These applications demand precise metering, pressure isolation, process integrity, and absolute operational reliability. Our injection systems are engineered to maintain stable mass flow, protect against pressure backflow, and integrate seamlessly with complex plant control systems.
This capability has become increasingly critical as industries transition toward alternative fuels, circular economy initiatives, and decarbonisation strategies.
3. Dynamic and Agile Engineering Partner
As a focused specialist, Clyde combines deep technical expertise with organisational agility.
We respond quickly to complex specifications, adapt to unique plant constraints, and deliver engineered solutions rather than standardised packages. Our approach is collaborative and technically rigorous, ensuring that each system is optimised for performance, reliability, and total lifecycle cost.
4. Best-in-Class Aftermarket Support
Our responsibility does not end at commissioning.
We operate a highly responsive aftermarket division providing inspections, servicing, upgrades, refurbishment, and OEM spare parts. Our dedicated in-house team supports customers throughout the full asset lifecycle, ensuring sustained system performance and long-term operational security.
This commitment to lifecycle support is fundamental to our long-standing customer relationships and global reputation.
