• Significant rise in technical literature- first in 1980 and then again in 1995
• Developing world seems to have boosted Drying R&D output
• Energy, environmental issues, product quality, safety, costs etc are key drivers
• More evolutionary (incremental) innovations rather than radical(revolutionary) innovations are preferred by industry
• Food/Agro industries seem to dominate drying R&D • Developed countries : 10-20% of national industrial
energy consumption attributed to thermal drying • Drying is important part of the nexus of food and
energy. Role in climate change still not quantified!
Drying R&D
• Nearly explosive growth since 1978 (IDS series started at McGill University, Montreal)
• Numerous international, regional and national conferences being held regularly
• Drying Technology – An International Journal initiated publication in 1982
• Over 3000 papers presented at IDS alone • Drying Technology will publish 16 issues per
year from 2011– high manuscript flow, 2400 papers!
• Truly global development- still growing at different rates in different parts of globe
Developments in Drying R&D
• IDS was established in 1978 by Prof. Mujumdar at McGill University, Canada; first announced in 1977
• 190 participants; 80% from industry. Industry- Academia cooperation was the theme. 20 countries participated
• Typically IDS attracted 250-450 participants; held in 4 continents
• IDS was organized thrice (ASM) in Montreal; typically once in all other sites
• IDS spawned numerous sister conferences e.g. IADC,NDC,ADC,WFCFD, etc. PDS and CDC were already in operation but less frequently and on national basis
• IDS led to numerous books e. g. DRYING’N series, Drying of Solids , Advances in Drying and later Handbook of Industrial Drying.
• Also Drying Technology journal emerged from it; had mixed success in first decade.
• Major Awards program started in 1986 with MIT held at MIT.
About IDS
• Unfortunately, industry participation declined to 10-25% over the years.
• Innovative drying technologies emerged but technology transfer became difficult
• Up to 55 nations participate regularly despite regional conferences
• Drying R&D was boosted by IDS series globally- more in emerging nations
• Journal continues to grow • Energy concerns drove initial IDS then moved to quality,
safety, cost-effectiveness etc and now back to energy • International effort in Drying R&D has emerged in
recent decade.
More about Drying R&D / IDS
Drying Technology Journal
A few authors made massive contribution of papers, reviews – Pereto principle – 20% contributed 80%
Over last decade situation has turned around but for quality assurance dedicated referees are the “key” to success – still a challenge due to heavy manuscript flow

Top contributors during 1982-2013
Strengths • continuous success and the wealth of knowledge it has
generated over past four decades • Current drying equipment - much more efficient,
sustainable and cost-effective • Buyers - much more aware and knowledgeable and are
able to specify and select the right kind of dryers for best performance,
• Many look at life cycle cost of different dryer systems as well as the carbon footprint before selecting their system
A Swot Analysis
Weaknesses • No truly disruptive drying technology in most industrial
sectors • Radical innovations - not readily accepted by industry
because of the potential for the risk (Also difficulty involved in scale up from lab scale to pilot scale to full scale)
• Lot more needs to be done in terms of fundamental research • Lack of a general drying theory • Technology transfer to industrial scale application is very
limited due to several reasons (e.g. lack of proactive and tangible participation by industry; Academics are often unaware of real industrial problems that they could tackle innovatively)
A Swot Analysis
Weaknesses and Challenges 1. Relatively low return on investments in R&D in general 2. Undervaluation of productive professional activities e.g.
Engineering 3. Recent accelerating trend to expect generation and
dissemination of knowledge to be available for exploitation free of charge- declining incentive for knowledge generation
4. Unethical handling of intellectual property belonging to others e.g. illegal dissemination of copyrighted material, misleading consumers by illegitimate utilisation of trade names etc.
• Outcome: reduced incentive to innovate
A Swot Analysis
Suggested measures to overcome weaknesses
1. Enhance effectiveness and efficiency of R&D by improving management, policy making and cost effectiveness
2. Attract high quality talent and incentivise it 3. Teach ethics as integral part of most science and
engineering subjects 4. Deter violation of IP. Provide financial and legal
support to encourage creativity and innovation 5. Reward and recognize innovation and knowledge
generation
A Swot Analysis
Opportunities • Potential for miniaturizing industrial dryers, design and
operation of smart dryers and reduction of carbon footprint, etc.
• Exploring use of superheated steam drying • Potential to improve drying equipment for production of
nano-particles, pharmaceuticals, functional foods, micro-encapsulated products with controlled delivery features, wastewater sludge, waste products from several industrial sectors, etc.
• Almost all type of drying technologies have potential for improvement by making it sustainable, safer and more-cost-effective
• Application of modern advanced analytical and computational tools to explore the complexities involved in thermal drying
A Swot Analysis
Threats • No obvious threats to IDS or drying R&D (imp in many sectors
such as food, pharmaceuticals) • The recent drop in international prices of coal, gas and
oil due to the large influx of cheaper gas produced by fracking of shale in the USA may have a short term adverse effect on R&D related to energy savings and conservation
• May reduce urgency of developing renewable energy and improving energy-intensive processes
• However, drying R&D will continue unabated despite this potential threat
A Swot Analysis
• Focus - issues associated with climate change • Optimize - application of renewable energy • hybrid drying system that utilizes solar thermal,
photovoltaics and wind energy in tandem
• Consolidated global effort is needed in this area • Global Virtual Networks of Excellence be formed for in-
depth sustainable R&D •
Future perspectives – Drying R&D
• This lecture is solemnly dedicated to the Founding Editor of Drying Technology Technology- An International Journal.
• A truly dedicated educationist, accomplished researcher& author, outstanding administration and a great mentor- his demise on April 18, 2014 is a huge loss to me personally and to the global Drying Community.
