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.
