Thin Film Sludge Dryer - Applications

Most Sewage Sludge Dryers for wastewater applications have limitations on the sludge they can process but not the Thin Film Dryer. Due to its unique design, it has processed a wide variety of sludges.

• Digested, Undigested and Thermal Hydrolysis (THP)
• Primary, Secondary or Blended
• Industrial
• Biomass
• High Strength Waste
• High Organic Matter
• Poorly Dewatered
• “Sticky”, “Pasty, “Liquid”, “Fibrous”, “Free Flowing”

Additionally, the Thin Film Dryer can complete both full drying and partial drying. The dried solids (dried product) can be varied from 30-90+% DS (dry solids content) depending on the application requirement. Applications the Thin Film Dryer can or have been used in include:

• Beneficial Reuse
  • Agricultural - Class A Biosolids as defined by EPA 40 CFR Part 503
  • Composting
• Composting
• Thermal Destruction Treatment Processes
  • Gasification
  • Pyrolysis
  • Incineration
  • Mono-Sludge Incineration with a Fluidized Bed Incinerator
  • Incineration with Solid Waste
  • Incineration in a Cement Kiln
  • Incineration with Hazardous Waste
• Landfilling
