The Polaris technology for drying in closed circuit is based on total or partial recycle of the gaseous stream used in the drying system, in order to optimise the recovery of the separated compounds and to minimise the flowrate of the effluent emitted by the drying system.

Polaris has realised complete drying plants, in particular spray-drier for pharmaceutical industry, where particular conditions or product specifications are required (e.g. amorphous product), in presence of solvents, with integrated recovery of the separated solvents.

 
 

In other cases Polaris has realised the closed circuit and the integrated recovery system associated to an existing dryer at the customer facility. Several systems have been done on fluid bed dryers or tunnel dryers.

Where possible, the achievement of the closed circuit allows less investment and operating costs. Where the system works in inert atmosphere, the closed circuit allows the almost total recovery of the nitrogen used.
