Resumen
Through Air Drying (TAD) commonly used in tissue paper manufacture is an energy intensive process. A theoretical model was developed to predict the fans’ speed and the burner duty based on the type of product and operating parameters. The model showed good agreement to the industrial plant behavior and allowed insight of the drying system. This study, and the associated industrial implementation resulting from it, has led to savings of around of 250.000 USD associated with energy consumption
