1. A solid inert residue (SIR) dryer, comprising:
said dryer having one or more heating units and one or more drying substrates, said dryer capable of heating and drying a SIR on said substrate and removing an amount of volatile organic material therefrom;
said substrate capable of transferring said dried SIR to a collection area;
said collection area comprising a compaction system for compacting said dried SIR;
wherein a first valve is present at an entrance to the collection area which is selectively switchable to form a seal that isolates the collection area from the volatile organic material in the dryer; and
wherein said compaction system comprises at least one cylinder having a piston.
