Bioenergy from biomass with Dry-Rex™

  • Increase biomass dryness to 65% or higher;
  • Increase heating value of your biomass;
  • Reduce boiler combustion air requirements;
  • Improve boiler combustion efficiency by 20% or more;
  • Increase biomass combustion rates by up to 30%;
  • Reduce or eliminate supplementary non-renewable fossil fuel combustion;
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Easily and effectively dry wood chips, bark, sludges, bagasse, distillers grain, municipal solid waste and many others.
  • Convert waste such as sludge into valuable, high-yield biofuels,
  • Replace or displace costly fossil fuels (oil, gas, etc) with dried residuals;
  • Eliminate environmental impact of landfilling your waste;
  • Eliminate related environmental costs:
    • Transportation;
    • Landfill remediation, opening, closing & maintenance costs;
    • Long term environmental liabilities.

  • Eliminate landfill emissions.

Dry-Rex™: Creates free energy from your existing processes and waste.

Dry-Rex™ Features

Simple Durable Design

Stacked, modular belt conveyor design allows for greater air contact and increased residence time for a given equipment footprint. Low operating speeds and durable components ensure long equipment life.

Low Emissions

Low operating temperatures minimize the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated from biomass. Low air velocities and the fixed bed design minimize particulate carry over in the exhaust minimizing investments required to meet emission regulations.

Safe and Reliable Operation

Low operating temperatures greatly reduce safety hazards. Ambient air designs allow for safe working environments and reduces dust formation.

Low Operating Cost

Low operating temperatures means we can provide an integrated solution using recovered energy from your process. Evaporate moisture for 50-75 kWe/ton.

Commonly used Waste Heat Sources for Dry-Rex™

  • Biomass Boiler Exhaust
  • Recovery Boiler Exhaust
  • Smelt Dissolving Tank Exhaust
  • Pulp Dryer Exhaust
  • Paper Machine Dryer Exhaust
  • Hot Effluent Streams
  • Low-Pressure Steam

As an integrated solution with our FLU-ACE® energy recovery, the DRY-REX™ delivers an optimum return allowing recovered waste energy from your processes to supply DRY-REX™ heating systems as well as displace expensive process steam heating.

Dry-Rex™ provides significant benefits and improvements in boiler and plant operations. In cases where biomass is already in use as a fuel source, Dry-Rex™ can completely eliminate the need to use expensive non-renewable fossil fuels.

Using the Dry-Rex™ system also means:

  • Tons of water removed can now be replaced with more biofuels to displace non-renewable fossil fuels or increase steam production;
  • Energy previously used to evaporate water now instead produces valuable steam;
  • Significant reduction in combustion air requirements;
  • Boilers topped in capacity can produce much more steam;
  • More biomass can be fed to the same boiler increasing steam generation;
  • Improved combustion efficiency;
  • Considerable stabilization of boiler operations
