Ok thanks a lot for your reply. You don't see anyother better design for the dryer, apart from using cooling tower fills? Mounting flights inside the drum won't solve the clogging problem completely, isn't it? The fibers may still get deposited on the surfaces of the flights and clog the flow.

The idea of evaporation was conceived with the sole aim of reducing the volume of the liquid digestate by evaporating the water into atmosphere, in order to cut the storage costs. So, the task is not just to concentrate the liquid to a slightly higher solids content, but also to reduce its...

Thanks a lot again for your reply. The aim of the project I'm working in is to reduce the volume of the liquid digestate, in order to cut the transport and storage costs for the farmers. This volume reduction is achieved by evaporation of water from the digestate. The desired end product is...

Hi jrmichler, Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I will look into it. Apart from using cooling tower fills, is there any other better method to increase the heat transfer area inside the drum between the liquid digestate and air? I gave a thought about using dryer flights (fin like structures...

I am working on a project to dry liquid digestates (residue from the fermentation process of biogas plants). The liquid digestate has a dry matter (DM) content of about 3%. The digestate is primarily made up of animal manure and maize silage. It is a non-Newtonian fluid having a viscosity of 4...
