Determination of the residence-time distribution in industrial dryer for the production of recycled polyester

The study proposes the evaluation of the residence-time distribution (RTD) in situ in an industrial dryer for the production of recycled polyester fibers (PES) from colorless polyethylene terephthalate (PET) flakes without interruption of the production. A disturbance of the pulse type was employed,...
