Industrial Drying Redefined: Tackling High-Moisture Materials Without Energy Waste
Apr 17,2025

With global thermal drying energy demand projected to hit 8.3 EJ by 2030 (IEA), our rotary dryers offer a paradigm shift in processing sludge, sand, and coal slurry.


 

Case in Point: Coal Dehydration Breakthrough in Indonesia

Client: Kalimantan Energy Solutions

Challenge:

Reducing 38% moisture coal slurry to 12% for transport

Previous dryer caused 8% combustible dust emissions

42% gas consumption exceeding budget

Solution:

Custom-designed GD-2500 Triple-Pass Dryer with:

Counterflow Air Recycling: Preheats incoming air with exhaust (65°C210°C)

Anti-Dust Flight Design: Material cascading pattern cuts particulate release by 91%

Moisture Gradient Control: Zone-specific temperatures prevent over-drying

 

Performance Metrics:

Throughput increased from 1218 tons/hour

Gas costs reduced to 3.8/ton(from6.5/ton)

Achieved MSHA-compliant dust levels

Engineering Principles at Work

Thermal Efficiency

Our dryers recover 72% of latent heat through:

Exhaust gas condensation

Insulated outer shells (0.35 W/m²K rating)

Material-Specific Geometry

Coal flights differ from sand/sludge configurations:

Deeper flights for sticky materials

Angled flights for free-flowing sands

Safety by Design

Explosion-proof zones and oxygen monitoring comply with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.

 

Final Note

Drying technology shouldnt force trade-offs between efficiency and safety. Our systems demonstrate that industrial-scale dehydration can be both economically and environmentally responsible.
