Please be more specific about the moisture content of the material in and out and the necessary evaporation rate and material consistency (pumpable sludge, sticky paste, pre-dried material) to check, whether we can offer you a solution with our drying systems based on intensive mixers producing a fluidized bed be mechanical action (http://www.eirich.com/index.php?scri.../Content&id=50). Pre-mixing with dry material like in drum dryers would not be necessary. The systems are already well introduced in the drying of copper containing sludges with different customers.

I don't know if you had a chance to look into General Kinematics vibratory fluid bed dryers. The units can be built to your specific needs and can be built to handle abrasive materials. The units are extremely energy efficient and can also include cooling sections if off loaded material needs to be a specific temperature for handling needs. I would encourage you to visit www.generalkinematics.com or send an e-mail to me if you have any specific questions.

Best Regards,

Exhaust gas temperature from a rotory drier can be maintained above dew point and dust collection is relatively easy.

In case of fluidised bed drier, exhaust gas tempraure will be about 105 Deg C. This is below dew point and can create problems of corrossion / coating on exhaust system. ■

With vibratory fluid bed dryers you do reach an adiabatic saturation situation where the exhaust air come close to dew point but can be overcome in the manifold by diverting a heat stream to compensate. With proper engineering you can overcome any issues of corrosion and sticking of fines. There is a significant amount of control that can be had using a fluid bed dryer as compared to a rotary drum dryer.

The maintenance will be substantially less than a rotary dryer. There is a vibratory motor that helps convey the material and it requires minimal maintenance; greasing on a scheduled interval. There are no moving parts within the bed of material therefore upkeep is less. The unit can be configured to run with any source of heat including steam, electrical, gas/oil burners etc. as well as using a recycled stream of heat to a burner. General Kinematics builds some of the worlds largest vibratory fluid bed dryers in the world. Many customers that had rotary dryers are converting their systems over to vibratory fluid bed due to the effectiveness of drying as well as control over final moisture.

With energy prices set to rise over the next 5 years, we know this system will be of great interest to you, either as a pre-dryer for your existing drying systems or as a standalone drying, pumping or material handling unit.

The key Points associated with this unique environmental system, compared to any known rotary, ventura, vibrating fluid bed, or static fluid bed drying systems for materials are:-

•Guaranteed energy savings, as there is no requirement for any gas, gas/oil or diesel fuels, to generate heat source to dry materials.

•Reduced carbon footprint.

•Operational advantages throughout the transportation, drying, and delivery process.

•Compact size.

•Guaranteed Low maintenance costs.

•Minimal disruption of integrating system in to current process line.

•Liquids, sludges, and aggregates up to 75mm.

•Bespoke systems can dry sand from 60% moisture content down to 0.3%.

•Bespoke systems can handle up to 500 tonnes per hour.

What materials can be dry, pump, or material handle? http://lfpumping.com/material-handling.php

We are confident that this system offers to you the very latest cutting edge technology, packed with financial and delivery savings. We look forward to discussing all your transporting, drying, crushing, and grading applications. ■

Based on the information on this thread I thought i would offer for guidance only a operating cost analysis for The LamiFlo Unit drying this Copper Slag from 5% down to less than 0%.

To firm up this operating cost, we will need to run your product through our test facilities.

LamiFloTM Drying

1. Energy Usage (MJ) / tonne 25.5

- Gasoil (litres) / tonne NA

- Electricity (kW) / tonne 7.13

2. Operating Costs (£) / tonne £0.49

3. Carbon Emissions (kg) / tonne 3.88 kg

Based on £0.07 per kW for electricty costs

The estimated operating costs exc licence and maintenance fee.

For customers and buyers of material handling & drying solutions, I believe it would be extremely useful to have a comparison information thread for all the major drying solutions.

Information to be submitted as:-

1. Energy Usage (MJ) / tonne

- Gasoil (litres) / tonne

- Electricity (kW) / tonne

2. Operating Costs (£) / tonne

3. Carbon Emissions (kg) / tonne

Based on 3 examples.

a) Sand Drying 6% down to 0.3% based on 50 tonnes per hour.

b) Coal Drying 40% down to 5% based on 200 tonnes per hour.

c) chalk Fines 10% down to 1% based on 100 tonnes per hour.

(The chalk fines are sticky materials) ■

Can you tell me your electricty supply details and cost per Kwhr?
