Dryer Optimization: Minimize Energy Demand of Belt Dryers using Aspen Plus

In this hands-on workshop, you will use Aspen Plus to model a multi-stage bed dryer and optimize the dryer operation to reduce energy demand. This workshop demonstrates how Aspen Plus can be used to define dryers rigorously with drying curves, model a multi-stage belt dryer, define a calculator block to compute total drying duty and energy cost and optimize the dryer energy demand to reduce costs.

Audience:

  • Engineers interested in modeling drying equipment
  • Engineers interested in minimizing energy demand in drying operations
