Abstract
For the drying of beans, the design and the definition of the operational policy for industrial scale dryer are being proposed through the development of an optimization procedure. The proposed dryer consists of a column dryer with a multi-section structure. In each section, the adequacy of several configurations is being tested. For the solid-gas contact, it was tested the concurrent and counter-current flows. For the recycle of gas into the dryer, it was tested a configuration with direct recycle and other with indirect recycle passing through a heat exchanger. In the design stage, the optimum number and the length of each section were determined. The developed procedure was efficiently used to determine the optimum operational policy and it can be applied in the supervisory control of the dryer.
