Potential for energy savings by utilizing the energy in the excess steam (the latent heat).
Potential for faster drying rates, compared to hot air drying.
Control of foul odors and overheated product resulting in reduced air discharge and odor emissions.
Reduced product degradation (no oxidation) - enhanced commercial value
Potential to combine the drying with other product treatments such as pasteurization, sterilization and/or deodorization.
Environmental benefits:
- Significantly less demand on odor control systems
- Lower greenhouse emissions
- Small condensers
- Greater energy efficiency
- Reduced risk for fire and explosion
- Ease of environmental compliance
- Reduced carryover of fines/dust
- Potential to re-use steam for energy recovery
Operational benefits:
- Greater efficiency
- Improved heat recovery
- Control of foul odor and overheated product
- No secondary contamination from heat source
- Enhanced control and fine tuning
- Control system tunable
