The present disclosure provides, among other things, methods of drying porcine thyroid gland material and manufacturing DTE comprising vacuum drying porcine thyroid gland material in a way such that the temperature of the porcine thyroid gland material is maintained above a threshold temperature. Since applying vacuum, or reducing pressure, has a cooling effect on the porcine thyroid gland material, maintaining the porcine thyroid gland material above a threshold temperature can be achieved by gradually reducing pressure while simultaneously increasing the heat applied to the porcine thyroid gland material during the period of gradual pressure change. Such methods are advantageous in reducing bioburden (killing and impeding the growth of microorganisms) while maintaining therapeutic levels of thyroid hormones, as compared to certain methods of drying porcine thyroid gland material and/or manufacturing DTE known in the art.

A recovery system for preparing magnesium sulfate from sulfuric acid waste solution is disclosed. The system comprises a reactor configured to remove hydrogen peroxide from the sulfuric acid waste solution and to promote a reaction between the sulfuric acid waste solution and a magnesium-based neutralizing agent to form a magnesium sulfate solution, a crystallization device configured to cool the magnesium sulfate solution and continuously crystallize magnesium sulfate crystals and a crystallization mother liquor, a dewatering device configured to separate the crystallization mother liquor from the magnesium sulfate crystals, and a drying device configured to obtain magnesium sulfate hydrates containing 0 to 7 molecules of crystalline water by controlling a drying temperature. A method for preparing magnesium sulfate using the recovery system is also disclosed.

A method and a device for monitoring the energy management of dryer systems for plastic granules as well as a method and a device for drying plastic granules. Both the energy input and the energy requirement are continuously determined so that operation of the corresponding systems is optimized both in terms of product quality and energy consumption.

A grain dryer has an upper plenum in communication with a pair of heating columns. Each heating column has an inner boundary and an outer boundary being formed with a plurality of angled containment baffles configured to funnel grain down the heating column while allowing heated air to be drawn from the upper plenum through the grain. At least one fan takes a suction from the ductwork to draw heated air from the upper plenum through the heating column such that grain is exposed to heated air. The orientation of the containment baffles forming the inner boundary directs the flow of the heated air in a downward direction through an inner portion of a grain column between the inner boundary and the outer boundary, and the orientation of the containment baffles forming the outer boundary directs the heated air in an upwards direction in an outer portion of the grain column.

A system and method for an intelligent hair drying/styling apparatus with user information transmission and storage capabilities is herein provided. The hair drying/styling apparatus houses a control circuit board and an infrared or temperature sensor (or camera) in order detect an individual's hair condition moisture level to determine a user specific, customizable dryer setting. The information detected by the sensor is stored locally, on a proximal Internet-enabled device, or on a remote or cloud-based server and accessed by the hair drying/styling apparatus through a wireless local area network connectivity function. This innovation will enable any number of hair professionals and or end consumers to improve styling and dry time. According to the present invention, energy usage is reduced to enable a more efficient design.

A drying system for drying a coating for tins, including a drying chamber with a drying line having a pre-heating section and a polymerization chamber, a conveyor device with which the tins can be moved, and a heating system for applying a temperature-controlled process fluid to the tins. The heating system is coupled to a control device for signal communication. The pre-heating section has a first pre-heating chamber and a second pre-heating chamber downstream of the first pre-heating chamber. The control device is designed to control the heating system such that the tins in the first pre-heating chamber are heated to a first temperature, and the tins in the second pre-heating chamber are heated to a second temperature, wherein the second temperature is higher than the first temperature.
