INTEGRATED FILTRATION, COMPRESSION AND VACUUM UNIT FOR INTEGRATED PROCESS OF FILTRATION, COMPRESSION AND DRYING VACUUM OF THE CERAMIC INDUSTRY DRÊCHE, AND RESPECTIVE APPLICATION OF THE FINAL PRODUCTS

摘要

The present invention relates to a process and its equipment, which in a single apparatus can dehydrate the brewer of the brewing industry from 72 to 85% of moisture to dragee with 15% of humidity, thus resulting in a stable product, keeping its PROTEIN, FIBER AND LIPID CONTENTS. The dehydration process is carried out in several stages, two of which are of mechanical nature (filtration and compression by the effect of membranes) and a last phase, which consists of a vacuum-dried process using hot water or low pressure water vapor as SOURCE OF HEAT. THE ENERGY FOR THE PROCESS EXISTS ZERO COST IN THE BREWING INDUSTRY, WHETHER THROUGH THE PROCESS HOT WATER USE, WANTS THROUGH THE USE OF LOW PRESSURE STEAM FROM COGENERATION UNITS. DEHYDRATED DRÉCHE IS A STABILIZED PRODUCT AND MAY BE USED IN HUMAN CONSUMPTION, ANIMAL FEEDING OF RUMINANTS AND NON-RUMINANTS AND AS RAW MATERIAL FOR BIOTECHNOLOGICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL APPLICATIONS.
