Abstract:
A system and method for extracting waste heat from the exhaust ( 20 ) of a biomass dryer ( 14 ), such as in a grain alcohol plant ( 10 ). A boiler circuit ( 74 ) provides steam at a high pressure to a balance of the plant ( 64 ). A recovered energy circuit ( 76 ) extracts heat from the exhaust and provides steam ( 60 ) at an intermediate pressure, thereby eliminating the need for a pressure reducing valve in order to satisfy an intermediate pressure steam demand in the plant. Working fluids in the boiler and recovered energy circuits are intermixed in a boiler feed vessel ( 72 ).

Claim (Index 4):
The improvement of  claim 2 , further comprising a blowdown flow from the flash vessel and directed to a boiler feed vessel of the boiler circuit.
