Description
This course describes the aspects of achieving successful drying operations involving heat sensitive materials, especially where dryer feedstocks are available as a liquid formulation or as a moist solid particulate. Another major focus is the drying of such difficult-to-dry materials as foams and extremely dense large particulates. Reference will be made to the relevant drying theory, and the importance to the total drying process of media conditions (temperature, humidity, flow) and material properties (morphology, temperature, drying characteristics) in meeting dried product quality specifications. The ease of materials handling to achieve a successful drying operation will be also emphasized.
Attention will be given to the design and operating features of four dryer types that are widely applied in industry. These are: fluid bed dryers, freeze dryers, microwave/dielectric dryers and spray dryers. The latest developments, operational parameters, economic factors and operational limits will be thoroughly discussed by a faculty member familiar with the design, performance and application issues of each type.
As each faculty member is currently active and highly experienced in his area of dryer specialization, participants will have a unique opportunity to discuss subjects of particular interest, either individually or in a forum enabling a problem solving, recommendation for consideration or a constructive exchange of views.
