9. Energy-saving actions in processes
Industry offers a wide range of continuous and discontinuous processes, made up of systems and equipment using heat or electricity, in the form of various energy carriers (hot water, steam, compressed air, etc.). It is impossible to deal with each of these processes in this article. Drying is one of the most energy-intensive processes in industrial activity, and is therefore covered in this article.
9.1 Drying
Drying is a common industrial process. It alone accounts for around 20% of the sector's total energy consumption. Given the diversity of products to be dried, each with their own specific characteristics and constraints, a multiplicity of industrial drying techniques and equipment have been developed to suit each case: dryers for textiles, tunnel kilns...
