A new open‑access paper from partners in the SteamDry project presents a dynamic model for filtration of dusty superheated steam, directly supporting the move toward more energy‑efficient paper drying. The study focuses on how dust fouling develops in a dead‑end filter and how this fouling increases pressure drop over time...
