Almost every material used in solid form (from foods to pharmaceuticals, from minerals to detergents, from polymers to paper, from raw materials and commodities to highly formulated specialties) is dried during production. Drying technology is, therefore, a continuously developing field with various challenges referring to process design, development, operation and automation, to equipment selection, development and use, to energy consumption as well as to the preservation or even creation of desired product properties. The purpose of the course is to provide the essentials of modern drying technology to the participants in a broad but compact way, at a high but understandable level close to practice, including:

• Fundamentals of drying technology
• Properties of wet air, capacity of convective dryers
• Moisture measurement
• Drying kinetics of single particles or droplets
• Major drying processes: Equipment, dryer design, scale up
• Special drying processes and applications, energy demand
• Laboratory work (guided exercises and demonstrations)
• Tutorials (guided practical computation and simulation)
