TFG Dryers: Bone Dry

Stop using plant air to dry plant air.

Bone Dry desiccant air dryers deliver pre-treated air to the desiccant bed during regeneration, protecting the main beds and eliminating energy-intensive purge waste. No other dryer on the market matches the efficiency of the TFG Bone Dry HE-HBP design.

What makes a Bone Dry dryer different

Four design choices that change the energy bill.

Zero plant-air usage

Regeneration, cooling, and stripping use blower-purged air, not the plant air a customer already paid to compress and dry.

Pre-treated regeneration

A sacrificial purge tank pre-dries the regeneration stream so the main desiccant beds are protected from incoming moisture.

Intelligent controls

PLC logic, VFD blower control, and multi-circuited heaters target temperature precisely instead of pushing constant load.

Field and rebate ready

Designed for retrofit installation and for utility-rebate energy stories built on real purge savings.

Process

Three steps to Bone Dry operation.

Bone Dry pre-treatment stage of the regeneration cycle Step 1: Pre-treatment

Air flows through both main tanks while the purge tank pre-treats the regeneration stream so the desiccant beds are protected from incoming moisture.

The regenerating tank is isolated and hot blower-purge air dries the desiccant. No plant air is consumed for sweeping or stripping.

Bone Dry cooling stage of the regeneration cycle Step 3: Cool-down

The regenerated tank cools down with dried cooling air so it is ready for plant load without using plant air for sweeping, cooling, or stripping.

Intelligent controls

Bone Dry dryers ship with PLC controls developed by the same team that built The Fischer Group compressor control platform. Operators get a 15-inch color touchscreen, Ethernet integration, real-time trending, SCADA hooks, and remote programming. Reliability engineers get a dryer that actually tells the truth about its state.

ROI

Dryer purge waste is one of the largest hidden loads in a compressed air system.

A heat-of-compression desiccant dryer is the energy story most plants never get to see. One steel processor eliminated 3,784 SCFM of wasted plant air with a Bone Dry retrofit, saving roughly $500,000 annually and recovering project cost inside 24 months.
