During the production of myriad goods, the manufacturing process requires that a material be dried, heated, cooled or reacted to meet proper production and quality requirements for that process. Often, the equipment selected is a heated or cooled, mechanically agitated and efficient device for adding or removing energy from a process mass: a vibrating fluid-bed dryer.

In many industrial processes, heating and cooling play essential roles in the implementation or achievement of special quality characteristics. More specifically, processes in which heat transfer fluids supply or remove energy serve this purpose.

In many industrial processes, bulk granular solids undergo thermal treatment to meet or provide final product specifications. For example, calcination is a high temperature process that removes oxygen and volatiles to produce high quality cement and other refractory materials.

Steam generation is necessary for industries across the United States to manufacture the products and services we interact with daily. To accomplish such outcomes, however, requires optimizing the steam generation equipment and processes.
