Terminal elevator driers have a wide range of capacities but most vary from 15 to 110 tonnes per hour. Most Canadian terminals have a modest total drying capacity since their use is erratic. Normally driers are located outside the terminal or in many cases are installed in converted large storage bins. Independent handling systems are installed for each of the wet and dry grains. Thus the design of a terminal is affected by the amount of grain drying performed, since the necessary handling systems and surge capacity must be available. 1, record 6, English, - terminal%20elevator%20dryer

Les séchoirs des silos [terminal] ont une capacité très variable, mais la plupart ont un débit de 15 à 110 tonnes par heure. La plupart des silos canadiens ont une capacité globale de séchage assez limitée parce qu'ils utilisent les séchoirs de façon irrégulière. D'habitude, on les installe à l'extérieur du silo ou, assez fréquemment, dans de grandes cellules à grain désaffectées. On installe des systèmes de manutention séparés pour les grains humides et secs. C'est pourquoi la disposition d’un silo portuaire ou industriel dépendra de l'importance des opérations de séchage, puisqu'il faut prévoir l'équipement de manutention nécessaire et la capacité d’absorption du trop-plein. 2, record 6, French, - s%C3%A9choir%20de%20silo%20terminal

Mixed-bed installation. This differs essentially from the separate bed system in that both the anion and cation resins are used in a single vessel. The two resins are intimately mixed by agitation with compressed air. The resin beads are thus arranged side by side, and the whole bed behaves like an infinite number of anion and cation exchangers in series. 1, record 8, English, - resin%20bead

Installation à lits mélangés. Ce procédé diffère essentiellement de la solution à lits séparés du fait que les deux résines cationique et anionique sont placées dans un seul appareil. Ces deux résines sont intimement mélangées par brassage à l'air comprimé. Les grains de résine sont ainsi disposés côte à côte; l'ensemble se comporte donc comme une infinité d’échangeurs de cations et d’anions en série. 1, record 8, French, - grain%20de%20r%C3%A9sine
