In February, 2011, A. Bryukhanov, an expert from SZNIIMESH, together with Technical Director of
PF Primorskaya M. A. Smirnov had negotiations with the head of «Eco Development». A trip was
scheduled to the place, where the described technology had been implemented. But further discussions and
more thorough analysis of available information showed that the company offered only the design. They
could show only a demonstration model (Figure 3) with much smaller productivity than required. The
vacuum dryer had no Certificate of Compliance.

Therefore, in spite of good characteristics of the offered solution, its industrial scale introduction is a
certain risk for PF Primorskaya.
