Frequently asked questions

Why does the yield differ between batches?
Because of different initial raw material moisture and final product moisture: dry matter stays, only water is lost.

The calculations are approximate: they help to assess the process and compare options, but do not replace a process design and trials on a specific raw material. This section is for reference only and contains no commercial offers.
