The BioCon drying process removes moisture from biosolids via an indirect convection belt dryer. A natural gas-fired boiler supplies the heat.
Sludge drying is a crucial part of the sludge treatment and disposal processes, while thermal drying has been a popular choice. In this work, the sludge thermal drying process is numerically simulated using a coupled computational fluid dynamics–discrete element method (CFD-DEM) approach. The CFD-DEM model …
Sludge Drying. This is basically a thermal drying process where thermal energy is provided to the sludge to evaporate water. The process of drying sludge reduces volume of the product, making its storage, transportation, packaging and retail easier. This process of drying sludge comprises of two methods- direct and indirect.
This sludge drying process features the recovery of thermal energy. The sludge goes through three treatment steps: indirect drying by a thin-film evaporator: the dried sludge is pre-dried to dry content levels of 40% to 50%. mechanical extrusion: the sludge is …
As a consequence, wet sludge requires preliminary dewatering and/or drying to reduce its moisture content from approximate 70–80% to less than 30% before treated in dry environment (Mei et al., 2020). 2.1. Combustion. As a mature technology, the combustion treatment of MS falls into two categories, that is, mono-incineration and co …
Thermal drying can quantify three types of water distribution (free, surface, and bound water). However, thermal drying usually requires at least 8 h for one test, and the reliability of the drying curve is affected due to the non-constant water evaporation surface area of sludge during drying . The combination of TG–DSC and thermal drying ...
