Fluid Bed Dryer

1.  High energy efficiency – heat input generally less than 1,250 BTU/lb of water evaporated.

2.  No blending or pre-conditioning of wet cake is necessary prior to enter the fluid bed dryer. Fluctuations in the percent solids of the incoming biosolids are accommodated by simple automation of operating procedures.

3.  No large sealing surfaces to oxygen to enter during operation, start-up, or shut down procedures.

4.  Patented Closed-Loop Gas Stream (CLGS) design maintains inert conditions by recycling process gas.

5.  Drying and cooling steps accomplished within a single fluid bed system without the need for supporting ancillary cooling equipment.

Schwing Bioset offers complete systems for processing powders, granulate, pellets, and crystalline solids that are environmentally friendly with dust-tight construction and optional closed-loop processing. Our systems use low-value and waste heat sources and energy recovering techniques to decrease your environmental impact.
