Rotary dryers, batch fluid dryers, continuous or batch tray dryers, hopper dryers, multispouted bed, and vacuum tumble dryers are typical long-residence units used in polymer drying. 

Flash/Transported bed dryer (continuous, indirect convection) c/s inlet temperature 650 °C, including dust separators, motors, cage mill/pulverizer. FOB cost 320 000 at 0.125 kg water evaporated/s n = 0.42 for range 0.03-3. L-tM =... 

Tunnel dryer (continuous, convection) insulated aluminum panels, s/s conveying apron including heating coUs, fans, motors, drives and instrumentation. FOB cost 500 000 at an exposed conveying surface area = 40 m with n = 0.94 for the range 15-100. L-i-M = 2.75. L/M = 0.35. 

Rotary dryer, (continuous, indirect convection) atmospheric, steam tube, c/s including shell and flights, motor, drive, intake hopper, discharge. FOB 155000 at heat transfer area = 100 m with n = 0.75 for the range 40-700. L-rM = 2.2-3. L/M = 0.4. Alloy cost factors c/s X 1.00 s/s shell and flights X 1.25. 

Pure ADU cake from batch precipitation is dried to obtain dried ADUC/UO3 in a box furnace (batch operation)/turbo dryer (continuous operation)/spray dryer (semicontinuous operation). All the three types of units are in use in NFC at the three fuel production plants.
