ENERGY ASPECT IN INDUSTRIAL DRYING
(Organised by the Chemical Engineering Technical Division, IEM) Date Time Venue Speaker : : : : 23 April 2009 (Thursday) 5.30 pm (Refreshment would be served at 5.00 pm) 2nd Floor, ISM Seminar Hall, Bangunan Jurukur, Petaling Jaya Engr. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Law Chung Lim BEM Approved CPD/PDP Hours: 2

SYNOPSIS Thermal drying operations are found in almost all industrial sectors and are known to consume 10-25% of the national industrial energy in the developed world. With emerging economies rapidly industrializing various economic sectors, the energy consumed for thermal drying and the resulting adverse environmental impact of the greenhouse gas emissions will inevitably rise with time. The most effective solution to this growing problem is to develop and utilize highly energy-efficient drying technologies that will reduce net energy consumption and mitigate the environmental impact. Over the last three decades much progress has been made in this area. This talk will present an overview of the causes for inefficiency in industrial drying and provide a summary of numerous new attempts to enhance the performance of drying technologies in diverse industries. In particular, advantages of heat pump-assisted drying, superheated steam drying, pulse combustion and pulse combustion-assisted drying, utilization of waste heat and renewable energy for drying etc will be discussed along with selected case studies. In addition, the efficiencies of dryer systems can also be improved by multi staging, combining different types of dryer and by intermittent and multi-mode heat inputs for batch dryers. With over 400 types of dryers used to dry some 50,000 materials at various production scales, it is necessary to examine the problem at the fundamental level of dehydration. BIODATA OF SPEAKER Engr. Dr Law Chung Lim is an Associate Professor with the University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus. He is also a chartered engineer and a chartered scientist. Engr Law has more than 11 years of experience in R&D work on industrial drying. He published more than 20 journal papers, 10 articles and presented more than 80 conference papers and majority of the papers are related to drying. In addition, he has contributed a chapter on “fluidized bed drying” in Handbook of Industrial Drying, an encyclopedia chapter “Drying” in the Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology: Bioprocesses, Bioseparation, and Cell Technology and several book chapters in Guide to Industrial Drying. Dr. Law has experience in the design of baffled fluidised bed dryer and 2-stage cross flow fluidised bed dryer. He has recently designed and fabricated two variants of heat pump dryer, namely hybrid heat pump dryer and intermittent heat pump dryer. He has delivered keynote speeches on various aspects related to industrial drying, namely new developments and latest advancement in food drying and energy aspect in drying. Dr. Law’s current research focus is in the area of preservation of active ingredients such as antioxidants and vitamins in local fruits, agricultural products and herbal products. Engr. Dr. Ramlee Karim FIEM, PEng Chairman Chemical Engineering Technical Division, IEM
