METHOD FOR THE THERMAL UTILIZATION OF SPENT GRAIN

摘要

In this method for the thermal utilization of wet spent grains (1), the wet spent grains (1) are pre-dried mechanically in a first drying stage (2). In a further drying stage (4), they are thermally dried, and finally thermally utilized by burning or gasification. In order for such a method to be economically practicable, in the further drying stage (4), the mechanically dehydrated malt spent grains (15) are heated with the aid of a flue gas stemming from the energy system of a brewery.
