Superheated Steam Drying
Technology for Improved Sustainability and Quality
About this book
Superheated Steam Drying is a guide to selecting the appropriate type of superheated steam drying (SSD) as per operational techniques, including steam oven dryers, rotary drum dryers, tray dryers, flash dryers, and fluidized bed dryers. With studies on hybrid drying technologies with SSD, the book assesses future needs and opportunities for industry adoption and further innovation.
SSD has long been recognized for the several major advantages it offers over other convective dryers, including high energy efficiency by utilization of energy in the exhaust steam, higher product quality due to absence of oxygen, and avoidance of fire and explosion hazards. It covers SSD technologies for various industrial sectors and mathematical modeling approaches to help with design and scale-up. The effects of SSD on drying kinetics, as well as product quality, are discussed with real-world examples.
The book serves as a useful reference for technicians, graduate students, and researchers in the field of drying technology. It can also be used in courses on Industrial Drying, Processing and Drying of Food, Advanced Drying Technology, and Superheated Steam Drying.
