Description

To  help SWaN  improve their process of  drying ceramic water filters, we  determine to use raw meterials as absorbents to expedite  the drying rate  meanwhile control it in a stable range

Process

Find  more about our four rounds of  experiements and corresponding results

With the adoption of salt as absorbent, the whole drying process can get accelerated by around 25% with consistency.
