The present disclosure relates to one or more vacuum drying methods and apparatuses to partially dry a comestible cell-based meat product after being harvested from a bioreactor. The vacuum drying method includes implementing a pressure-temperature environment to evaporate a portion of the moisture content from a comestible cell-based meat product. In doing so, the vacuum drying method can concentrate protein in the comestible cell-based meat product, as well as minerals and other non-liquid components. Specifically, at refrigeration temperatures, the vacuum drying method preserves cellular structure of the comestible cell-based meat product and facilitates safe processing according to various rules and regulations for raw meat sale, distribution, and consumer consumption. In addition, lowered environmental pressure provides reduced drying times to achieve a particular moisture content criteria or threshold mass of the comestible cell-based meat product. Once partially dried, the comestible cell-based meat product can be subsequently processed for raw meat packaging.

A method of drying transport and/or storage containers for radioactive waste has the first step draining or pumping residual water out of the container holding the nuclear waste. Then gas is evacuated from the interior of the drained or pumped out container interior. Thereafter an inert gas is fed into the drained or pumped out container interior while continuing to evacuate gas from the container interior. During the evacuation and/or infeeding of inert gas a rate of evacuation and/or a rate of infeed of the inert gas is controlled such such that an inert-gas content in the interior of the container is between 50 and 95 vol %.

A method and arrangement for drying a water damaged sandwiched floor structure including a top concrete layer, an air permeable isolating layer and a concrete subfloor, comprising providing an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening through the concrete layer, and continuously in a closed loop flowing air through the isolating layer via the openings by a blower and a dehumidifier in serial connection. According to the invention the blower is a suction blower, whereby air is drawn from the outlet opening by the suction blower, and dry air is forced into the inlet opening by the dehumidifier.

In an apparatus (1) for dewatering wood material (2), a first roll (3) and a second roll (4) form a nip (N1) in which water can be pressed out of the wood chips (2). An endless permeable conveyor (5) is arranged to pass through the nip (N1) and carry wood chips (2) through the nip (N1). A method of dewatering wood material uses the inventive apparatus.
