An overview of innovation in industrial drying: current status and
R&D needs
1. Introduction
Thermal drying has been recognized as an important unit operation as it is energy intensive and has a decisive effect on the quality of most products that are dried commercially. Escalating energy costs, demand for eco-friendly and sustainable technologies as well as the rising consumer demand for higher quality products, have given fresh incentives to industry and academia to devote great effort to drying R&D. Fortunately, this area does not demand a massive perfusion of R&D funds to come up with valuable insights and innovations, with only a few exceptions. Indeed, there is already a sustainable level of R&D support—both in terms of human and financial resources—around the world. Emerging economies of the world, such as China, Brazil, India, etc, have picked up the slack caused by the fully developed economies of the west moving towards nanotechnologies. Overall, the global R&D effort has been rising despite precipitous drops in North America and Europe. With 12–25% of the national industrial energy consumption attributable to industrial drying in developed countries, it is only a matter of time before high energy costs will stimulate further R&D in drying. The fact that tens of thousands of products need to be dried in over a 100 variants of dryers provides major and ample opportunities for innovation. In this paper, we start with the definition of innovation and how it may be intensified. This is followed by a discussion of some new technologies in comparison with the traditional ones, which still dominate the market. The need for industry–academia interaction and a pro-active role of industry—the ultimate beneficiary of all R&D regardless of its origin—is stressed.
2. Conventional versus new drying technologies
It is difficult to make a sharp distinction between what is conventional and what is really new in drying technologies since most of the newer developments are evolutionary,i.e., based on traditional ones; often the transition is seamless and it is not possible to identify where and when it occurred. The following discussion must therefore be taken within this vagueness inherent to the field itself.
Kudra and Mujumdar (1995) have classified and discussed various novel dryers, ranging from laboratory-scale curiosities (e.g., acoustic drying, drying of slurries by impinging sprays

over a hot surface) to pilot-scale demonstrations (e.g., pulse combustion dryers, ultrasonic spray dryers, impinging stream dryers) to full-scale commercial dryers (e.g., pulsed fluid beds, superheated steam fluid bed/flash dryers, rotary dryers with drying air injected into the rolling bed).A full discussion of the truly bewildering variety of non-conventional dryers is beyond the scope of this presentation. The interested reader may refer to the book by Kudra and Mujumdar (2002) for a comprehensive coverage of the numerous new drying concepts and technologies. The Handbook of Industrial Drying (Mujumdar 1995) is also a source of relevant information.
Table 1 summarizes the key features of the newer dryers as compared to those of conventional ones for drying of various physical forms of the wet feed material. Note that the new designs are not necessarily better than the traditional ones for all products, but they do offer some advantages that may make them a better choice in some applications. Some of them are simply intelligent combinations of conventional dryers.
Table 2 compares some key features of the newer or emerging drying technologies with those of the more commonly used conventional techniques. In terms of the sources of energy there is no difference. However, in terms of how this energy is delivered and transferred to the wet solid there are some significant differences.
In the chemical industry, the most common drying application involves production of dry particulates from pumpable liquids (solutions, suspensions, or slurries), thin or thick pastes (including sludge), or granular solids. Spray and drum dryers are used most commonly for such applications.
Spray dryers today no longer just convert a pumpable liquid to a powder but can be used to produce “engineered” powders with specific particulate size, as well as structure (e.g., agglomerates, granules, or large mono-sized spherical particles). Personnel safety on and around dryers, prevention of environmental pollution, and emphasis on production of a high-quality product at minimum cost are paramount considerations in the design of spray dryers today. With the help of computer simulations, better designs of the dryer chamber and air flows within the dryer have led to minimal wall deposit problems in spray dryers. A new spray dryer concept even uses a flexible canvas cone instead of the usual metallic one. Horizontal spray chamber layouts are also being examined via CFD simulations.
