Modeling a Rotary Dryer using Altair EDEM and Altair AcuSolve

Rotary Dryers are used frequently in a wide range of industry applications including road making, agriculture or chemicals to dry bulk materials. While being a very common process, there is significant potential to optimize the energy usage and material throughput. Using Altair EDEM and Altair AcuSolve in a bi-directional coupling, it is possible to model the drying of material, allowing you to optimize its operational parameters, feeding rate and lifters design to maximize its efficiency and performance as seen in this video example. Optimizing systems with high energy usage can significantly decrease the environmental impact and reduce overheads.
