You can find the public deliverable report for D6.2 Open Research Data Pilot (ORDP) for DRALOD project, in this link.

The demonstration of the DRALOD Pilot plant is running during July and August 2021. The plant will be tested for the drying of different types of by-products from the food and beverages industry.

The DRALOD pilot plant installation has been completed, with a fully installed and functional renewables-based drying plant pilot built in Chiloeches (Spain).

By end of June 2021, two engineers from RISE travelled to the DRALOD Pilot Plant in Chiloeches (Spain) for testing and evaluation the heat recovery unit (HRU) prototype in-situ.
