Save gas with drying technology from Adphos

Despite the high consumption values, alternative drying systems have not found their way in the past due to the low price of gas. The aLITE drying technology developed by Adphos promises to remedy this situation. Due to the compact design of the aLITE drying systems, partial drying can be realized when connected upstream of the current hot air dryer as a so-called booster, which leads to a simultaneous reduction in gas consumption. According to the manufacturer, depending on the drying process and available installation space, gas savings of up to 50 percent can be achieved with the same production output.

The fully electro-thermal based heat and thermal process solutions are usually also more intelligent than the electrical heating of gas/air volumes and, instead of burning fossil carriers such as natural gas as in the past, also allow significantly more energy-efficient target processes. Particularly outstanding here are the aNIR/aLITE platform technologies, some of which have already been successfully used commercially for years in a wide variety of printing, coating and other surface processes. With the aNIR/aLITE technologies, gas price increases of ≥ 4 can be neutralized and electricity price increases extremely mitigated due to reduced, efficient use. In addition, approximately 2 - 3 kg of CO2 emissions are avoided per kWh - of gas heat replaced. The aNIR/aLITE technologies enable other thermal or thermo-chemical process solutions in addition to the many applications as drying or kiln solutions. The first users of the offered conversion/upgrade option with the Adphos technology are already independent of gas supply and could thus make a positive contribution to the fight against the climate crisis.
