Energy saving in spray drying process

In this work some possibilities to improve the conventional spray drying process using programming in Excel as a calculation tool have been presented. The minimization of energy consumption during the drying operation can be achieved by recycling exhaust air. The maximum theoretical range of recirculation is 60%. The fuel oil saving rate depends linearly on the rate of recirculation, and the theoretical maximum fuel oil saving is approximately 14%. Ecological issues were also considered as well, since decreased fuel consumption lowers harmful gas emission to the environment.
