Research paper thumbnail of Development of Fluid Bed Dryer Process Control Module for Fluidization and Drying of Pharmaceutical Powder

European Journal of Engineering and Technology Research

Many studies had been carried out to improve the fluidization of particle bed by measuring and controlling process parameters to achieve quality output, but the implementation of these proved cost intensive. This work was focused on developing a control module using conventional low-cost components for monitoring the drying process of fluidized bed dryer. The module was developed following design calculations of parameters required to determine its rated current capacities, and selection of required components. The components used were selected putting in mind cost and durability, without compromising their suitability in achieving the set objectives for the developed control module. Thereafter, a performance test was carried out to ascertain its performance characteristics. From the design calculations, ...
