From Crystallization to Product Handling: Efficient Sodium Sulfate Drying and Cooling
Sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) is a common component in industrial wastewaters, particularly from flue gas desulfurization (FGD) plants. To meet increasingly strict discharge regulations, sodium sulfate is often removed by crystallization and, in many cases, recovered as a valuable product. The same separation challenge is well known in industries such as viscose fiber production. Depending on process conditions, sodium sulfate can be crystallized either as an [...]
Tema Process on Fluid Bed Drying Solutions for Recovered Carbon Black
Our colleague Koen Egberts shared how fluid bed dryers boost drying performance, energy efficiency, and consistency in rCB production — a critical step in sustainable carbon black recovery. Koen Egberts Explains how Fluid Bed Dryers Improve rCB Drying Efficiency Tema Process were attending and exhibiting at the conference to present their Fluid Bed Dryer Solutions. “Events like this are key to staying connected with market [...]
Erection of a TEMA Process Fluid Bed Drying System with Baghouse Filter
The successful installation of a fluid bed drying system starts with a structured and well-planned erection process. At site, foundations and steel support structures are prepared according to layout drawings. The fluid bed dryer is then positioned and aligned, followed by installation of internal components such as the air distribution plenum, perforated air deck and discharge sections. Next, the process air system is erected, including [...]

Drying citrus pulp for pectin production
Citrus pulp is a valuable by-product from juice processing and a key raw material for pectin. To preserve pectin quality, controlled and uniform drying is essential. With a TEMA Process fluid bed dryer, citrus pulp is dried gently and efficiently, ensuring: - Uniform moisture reduction - Protection of pectin functionality - Stable processing of sticky, sugar-rich materials - Energy-efficient, continuous operation Integrated drying and cooling [...]
Erection and Commissioning of a Fluid Bed Dryer/Cooler for Minerals.
Successfully completed the erection and commissioning of a fluid bed dryer/cooler for mineral processing. The scope included mechanical installation, electrical and instrumentation works, and comprehensive pre-commissioning activities. Following installation, dry commissioning was carried out to verify airflow, temperature control, and safety systems. Operational commissioning with mineral material allowed optimisation of process parameters to achieve stable fluidisation and reliable drying and cooling performance. The project was [...]

Another milestone achieved: six Tema Process fluid bed dryers/coolers completed and ready for shipment to our worldwide clients in the food, chemical, waste, and mineral industries. […]
On-Site Fluidized Bed Test Dryers for Complex Processes
For certain products, the drying or cooling process is too complex to be accurately tested at the Tema Process laboratory. This may be due to specific upstream process conditions, sensitive material behavior, large particle size distributions, safety requirements, or integration with existing plant equipment. For these applications, Tema Process supplies laboratory and pilot-scale fluidized bed test dryers that are installed and operated at the customer’s [...]
