    Drying of PET polymer involves the diffusion of absorbed moisture from the interior of the
    polymer chip to its surroundings and, subsequently the removal of moisture from the bulk
    of polymer chips. Moisture removal can be achieved by heating the polymer chip under
    dry air or vacuum. In an air drying system, heated dehumidified air flows up through a chip
    bed and returns to the dehumidifier. The key requirements for a reliable drying process
    are:

    Drying temperature: The ACTUAL chip temperature should achieve between 300° and
    340° F measured at the dryer exit.

    Dehumidified air temperature: Correctly designed equipment should operate at


    temperatures up to 340° F measured on entry to the dryer hopper, with an absolute
    maximum of 370° F to prevent possible discoloration.

    Dehumidified air dew point: This should not be allowed to rise above –34° F and should
    preferably be –40° F or lower, measure after the desiccant bed. Always check the correct
    regeneration temperatures are being used.

    Dehumidified air flow through the chip bed: Most dryers operate at around l cfm of airflow
    per 1lb/hr of PET chip as a minimum requirement, with the airflow at the correct
    temperature and dew point.

    Chip residence time (drying time): ERT recommends a chip residence time for FC 3D600
    PET of not less than four hours and preferably six hours. This is the theoretical drying
    time, which is calculated by dividing dryer capacity in lbs. by throughput in lb./hr. Extended
    periods of high temperature can adversely affect the polymer processing conditions. In the
    event of a stoppage for an extended period, dry polymer can be stored in the dryer-hopper
    by reducing the air temperature to 240° F (or even lower).

    No freedom of infringement of any patent owned or pending by Earth Renewable Technologies LLC or
    others is to be inferred.
