When considering a sewage sludge drying application, most of the focus is on the design, operation, and maintenance of the dryer itself. In reality, sludge drying is a complex process that involves many sub-processes and ancillary components. If any of these systems or processes fail or operate incorrectly, the entire drying system will be affected and may fail.
