DRYERS IN SERIES WITH IMPROVED THROUGHPUT

摘要

Improved devices, systems, and methods for drying pellets in a pellet-fluid slurry are disclosed. The system can provide a desired moisture level and output rate for the dried pellets. The system can use two dryers in series to remove moisture from the pellets in the pellet-fluid slurry. The two dryers can be connected with a transport pipe. The transport pipe can include a diverter valve to bypass the second dryer when desired. The transport pipe can also include a blower and/or heater to aid in the transport and drying of the pellets. The first dryer, the second dryer, or both can include a defluidizing section. The first dryer can be located at a higher level than the second dryer to facilitate movement of pellets from the first dryer to the second dryer.
