Re: GAS-L: Drying Hog Fuel



Depends on your volume.

Assuming at least a ton or more per hour, you probably need a rotary drum 
dryer. Many used ones available.

We convert to a biomass burner, so operation is quite reasonable and the 
output very foregiving. Your input MC will vary considerably and this drives 
most driers into an operators nightmare. The drum accepts it.
