In this month’s newsletter, we would like to highlight the benefits of using our superheated steam dryers for biomass and pellets, since we are featured in Bioenergy Internationals Pellet Special.
Drying is a costly and energy-demanding stage in pellets production. With Exergy Superheated Steam Dryer the water that is removed from the wet product is turned into steam thus allowing 80% of the energy input to be recycled. The raw material is also conditioned in the drying process increasing output and quality from pellet mills.
GENERATING PROFITABILITY
We analyze our customers’ needs to provide effective drying processes that lead to a cost-effective complete
solution with high productivity and energy efficiency.
LOW OPERATING COST
• 150 kWh/ton water evaporation – Energy saving
• Few rotating parts – High availability and low maintenance cost
