Fuel Consumption of Spray Dryer Considering Humidity Parameter

Chemical Engineering

Enhancing energy efficiency is an important issue for oil and gas companies, who can contribute by implementing changes in their operations, planning and investments. There are many positive drivers for industry because energy efficiency can improve productivity, lower operating costs and reduce environmental impacts. Energy efficiency and conservation can also extend the life of finite natural resources and help to keep energy affordable for consumers by lowering investment and operating costs for harnessing new energy resources to meet rising demand. In present study, industrial data for the spray dryer is obtained and using that industrial data fuel consumption of the current industrial set up and for modified set up of the spray dryer. Moisture balance and enthalpy balance was calculated and on the basis of that heat duty was calculated then Fuel consumption is calculated using humidity measurement of atmospheric air and according to that supply of the fuel can be controlled. After calculating all this data compare the fuel consumption for both the cases and on the basis of that cost saving is calculated.
