DRY HEATING<br />
What is a dry heating system?<br />
The concept of dry heat system is similar to<br />
the High Velocity Heated Air system where<br />
waste is heated by conduction, natural or<br />
forced convection, and/or by thermal<br />
radiation. Dry-heat processes use higher<br />
temperatures and longer exposure times than<br />
steam-based processes but the timetemperature<br />
requirements actually depend on<br />
the properties and size of the wastes being<br />
treated.<br />
How does a dry heating system work?<br />
