Achieve significant reductions in both operating costs and emissions with our pressurized superheated SteamDryer technology.
While conventional dryers lose energy through exhaust stacks, the EnerDry SteamDryer utilizes a fully contained, closed-loop system designed for total energy recovery. This approach maximizes efficiency while completely eliminating dust and VOC emissions.
Let EnerDry support you on your sustainability journey.
EnerDry supports turnkey delivery and supply assistance in all engineering aspects around the SteamDryer.
It is estimated that 10-25% of the total industrial energy usage is consumed on drying. At traditional drying systems, the evaporated water, together with dust and VOC is emitted, and thereby lost. The EnerDry SteamDryer yearly saves thousands of tons of fuel, and emissions avoided exceeding 1 million ton of CO2.
We are happy and proud to announce that we have signed contract with British Sugar to deliver 2 SteamDryers for the Wissington sugar factory.
The factory processes more than 3 million tons of sugar beet per year and all pulp that remains after sugar extraction is to be dried in the new EnerDry SteamDryers.
This SteamDryer project will reduce emissions by 50.000 ton CO2 per year, when coming into operation in 2026
We look forward to the good cooperation with British Sugar.
Thank You, Pfeifer & Langen, for Hosting the 2024 Steam Dryer Meeting
The 2024 EnerDry Steam Dryer meeting took place at the Könnern sugar factory in Germany.
Participants from around the world participated in this 2-day event, where we toured the impressive Könnern sugar factory on the first day. Day two each factory presented how their steam dryer had performed in the previous campaign.
EnerDry presented news and recommendations for good and safe operation.
Besides the presentations there were a lot of good discussions about Steam Dryer operation amongst the group of steam dryer owners – a group that reduces 100 thousands of tons of CO2 each year – due to their commitment to steam drying their sugar beet pulp.
EnerDry New CEO
Kasper Gehl Larsen appointed new CEO of EnerDry A/S
Mr. Kasper Gehl Larsen has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of EnerDry A/S in Denmark as of May 1, 2021. He takes over the operational management of CEO Mr. Arne Sloth Jensen, who with his expertise will continue with technical activities within the field of steam drying in EnerDry A/S.
Kasper Gehl Larsen holds a degree in Engineering from the Technical University of Copenhagen. He has been working with steam drying for the last 16 years, starting out with design and drawing of steam drying equipment. First involvement in a big project was the 2005/2006 Nampa steam dryer project. 2009-2012 was largely spend on sales and development of the steam dryer. At the biggest ever EnerDry project; the 2013 turnkey delivery of a size J steam drying plant in Nakskov, Denmark, he was the project manager. In the recent 7 years main focus has been sales, development and leadership. Kasper Gehl Larsen has besides Denmark lived in the U.S. and Germany. He is married and has 3 children.
Good News!

Mini Cassia Sugar Factory, Idaho, USA
Amalgamated Sugar is leading the way to become more energy efficient and reduce emissions.
Recently Amalgamated placed order by EnerDry for a new steam dryer size J.This is the world’s biggest pulp steam dryer, that can evaporate up to 71 t/h of water from the sugar beet pulp. The dryer will be placed at the Mini Cassia plant, near Paul, Idaho.
This dryer alone will make a yearly savings of more than 25% reduction in factory fuel, and thereby reduce CO2 emissions by more than 40.000 tons per year.
Kasper Gehl Larsen, CEO of EnerDry said: “ We are very happy and proud that Amalgamated Sugar has decided for this new EnerDry Steam Dryer size J for Mini Cassia. We have already had a very good cooperation with Amalgamated Sugar for almost 20 years. In 2005/2006 we installed a similar steam dryer at the Nampa, factory”
Amalgamated Sugar Director of Engineering Eric C. Erickson: This is an exciting project for our company. We are pleased to announce this project does qualify for a US federal energy savings tax credit based on the total reduction in factory fuel greenhouse gas emissions. Our plan is to break ground early 2025 and commission the dryer in by March 2026.
25 Years of EnerDry
The EnerDry SteamDryer enables efficient drying of a variety of products in a fully enclosed pressure vessel. The product is introduced into the steam dryer, where it is conveyed across fluidized bed sheets and kept in continuous motion by the upward flow of steam.
This movement is generated by the lift from the main fan located at the bottom of the SteamDryer. After a retention time of approximately 2–5 minutes, the product is fully dried and discharged from the dryer. The moisture contained in the product is released as steam, which is subsequently recovered and reused in several ways. Majority of the steam is recirculated within the pressure vessel and reheated through the continuous supply of superheated steam to the superheater. The contaminated steam fraction exits the dryer at the top and is directed to the evaporators, where its thermal energy is effectively utilized. The condensate generated in the superheater is directed to a flash tank, where a clean steam fraction is produced. This clean steam is subsequently routed to the evaporator for further thermal utilization.
The SteamDryer can be installed to a variety of production and process facilities.
