Technic One is upgrading a key component of the Dryer One technology: the exhaust stack. Taller, narrower, and designed using advanced atmospheric modelling, this new generation significantly improves the environmental performance of the installations without affecting the drying process.
Its design also makes environmental testing easier and more reliable, allowing measurements and on-site inspections to be carried out more conveniently and accurately.
A design driven by atmospheric modelling
The new Dryer One stack is much more than a simple vertical extension. Its geometry and height are determined using advanced particle dispersion modelling, taking into account exhaust gas velocity, local weather conditions, site topography, and applicable regulatory limits. Each installation therefore benefits from optimised sizing, tailored to its actual environment rather than based on a fixed standard.
Three concrete benefits for operators
This evolution delivers immediate benefits that can be measured in real operating conditions:
- a height of up to 27 metres,
- 10 times greater particle dispersion in the ambient air,
- zero pressure drop across the dryer,
- enhanced environmental compliance, with no modification to the existing process.
The key advantage remains the full preservation of Dryer One performance. While the addition of exhaust equipment typically generates detrimental back pressure, our design eliminates this risk. No loss of production, no parameter adjustments.
Four concrete benefits for operators
This new stack can be integrated as a targeted retrofit on existing Dryer One installations or supplied as standard on new projects. For operators facing increasingly stringent emission standards or local environmental concerns, it provides a powerful solution to:
- anticipate evolving regulations,
- reduce perceived environmental impact around the site,
- ensure long-term compliance,
- preserve operational profitability.
Targeted engineering as a driver of innovation
This evolution reflects a core principle of the Technic One approach: genuine industrial improvements rarely come from spectacular breakthroughs, but rather from targeted engineering applied to the right leverage points. A better-designed stack can transform a site’s environmental performance without disrupting its operational balance. This is what we call a smart upgrade: simple to implement, powerful in its impact.
