Publications of Vosteen Consulting GmbH

Below you can find articles and presentations tackling process engineering problems as published since 1976.

These publications are dealing e.g. with the thermal drying of gypsum wallboard panels, the fundamentals of contact drying and its related contact dryer design, the conditioning and mechanical dewatering of sewage sludges and with various process engineering problems of waste management. Special emphasis is placed on the thermography of rotary kilns (extended brick life), oxygen enrichment of the combustion air (capacity increase), storage and release of mercury at SCR catalysts and the reduction of mercury emissions in general.

The contents may be cited, but only with explicit reference to the Vosteen Consulting GmbH / Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bernhard W. Vosteen.
