This unit procedure simulates a generic Sludge Dryer. Based on user-specified performance data, it carries out material balances to estimates the composition of the exiting streams and performs energy balances to calculate the heating requirement.
● Wet Sludge: the designated input port for the feed stream.
● Air Input: the designated input port for the air stream.
● Air Output: the designated output port for the air stream.
● Dry Sludge: the designated output port for the product stream.
