Amore efficient system would be to dry the residue down to less
than 10% moisture (wet basis) and then perform the extraction
operation at a centralized facility. Furthermore, the moisture
content of 2POMW must be reduced to about 5–8% (wet basis) to
extract residual oil or use the material as fuel (Niaounakis and
Halvadakis, 2006). Thus, there are multiple motivations for drying
2POMW before further processing.
