The Energy Conservation and Drying Engineering Technology Research Center of the Shandong Academy of Sciences has recently made significant progress in the development of energy-efficient drying equipment. After over a year of dedicated research, the center has completed the theoretical models and industrial prototypes for its 600,000 tons/year PTA energy-saving drying system, which is now undergoing final testing before commercial deployment. Additionally, the largest gypsum calcining and drying equipment developed in collaboration with Shandong Xinwen Mining Group has already been put into operation. These breakthroughs, built on independent intellectual property, are set to challenge the long-standing dominance of foreign manufacturers in large-scale energy-saving drying technology. Drying is a critical process across multiple industries, including chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, construction materials, food, and more. In China, the drying process accounts for approximately 12% of total energy consumption, yet the average energy efficiency remains low—only 40–50%, compared to over 70% in advanced countries. This gap highlights the urgent need for technological advancement in this field. Currently, many large-scale drying systems and technologies in China are still heavily reliant on imports. To address this, the center has adopted an innovative model: “research center—incubation enterprise—service industry.” This approach aims to accelerate the localization and application of drying equipment. As part of this strategy, the center has established Shandong Tianli Drying Equipment Co., Ltd., which takes the lead in refining and commercializing the center’s research findings. According to Shi Yongchun, a chief researcher at the center, the development process involves both original innovation and the integration of foreign technologies through digestion and improvement. The team combines principles from thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics to better understand the drying process. They have also developed advanced software to simulate and optimize drying systems, leading to the creation of large-scale, high-performance drying equipment. The center emphasizes that its research must be "topping the sky and landing on the ground." "Topping the sky" means focusing on key industry challenges and developing core technologies with strong market impact. "Landing on the ground" ensures that these innovations are applied in real-world settings, generating tangible benefits. In addition to domestic efforts, the center has formed partnerships with international institutions such as the Belarusian Rekov Institute of Thermal and Mass Transfer and Poland's Lodz University of Technology. These collaborations have led to numerous achievements, including 35 research projects, four national Torch programs, four national new product plans, three national key promotion projects, and 68 patents. The center has also won several provincial science and technology awards. Notable applications include a 180-ton, 18-meter-high internal thermal fluidization system for soda-alkali calcination, which has been widely adopted in major soda ash plants across China. Another success is the large-scale fluidized drying system for adipic acid, developed in partnership with PetroChina Liaohua Branch, achieving an impressive 75% energy efficiency. The center’s CPE drying heat exchange device, developed with Qingdao Haijing Group, has even been exported internationally, while the flash dryer created with China Aluminum Group Shandong Branch has achieved a 20% energy savings over domestic alternatives. To date, the center has successfully developed over 1,000 sets of drying equipment, marking a major milestone in China’s push toward energy-efficient industrial processes.
