A comprehensive approach to selecting and understanding dryingequipment for chemical and mechanical engineers
A detailed reference of interest for engineers and energyspecialists working in the process industry field, Drying in theProcess Industry investigates the current state of the art oftoday's industrial drying practices, examines the factorsinfluencing drying's high costs in both equipment and energyconsumption, and summarizes key elements for keeping dryingoperations under budget and performing at peak capacity safelywhile respecting the environment. Extensive coverage of dryerbasics as well as essential procedures concerning the selection ofindustrial dryers--such as how to gather results of relevantlaboratory measurements, carry out small-scale tests, and correctlysize equipment--help to inform readers on criteria forgenerating scalable specifications that greatly assist buyingdecisions.
Drying in the Process Industry:
* Takes a practical approach to drying equipment, from an authorwith four decades in the industry
* Describes a diverse array of drying equipment (convective, likeflash, spray, fluid-bed, and rotary; contact, like paddle andsteam; radiation) from an engineer's perspective
* Provides quick and ready access to drying technologies withreferences to more detailed literature
* Treats drying in the context of the entire productionprocess
True of all process facilities where drying plays an importantrole, such as those in the chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics, andfood industries, the purchase of improper industrial dryingequipment can significantly affect a manufacturer's economic bottomline. With the guidance offered in this book, engineers will beable to confidently choose industrial drying equipment thatincreases profits, runs efficiently, and optimally suits theirneeds.
