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 7):
The improvement of  claim 2 , further comprising a pressure increasing device disposed in a flow path of the dryer exhaust gas upstream of the dryer exhaust condensing economizer and a pressure control device disposed in the flow path of the dryer exhaust gas downstream of the dryer exhaust condensing economizer, the pressure increasing device and pressure control device cooperatively operable to control a pressure of the dryer exhaust gas in the dryer exhaust condensing economizer.
