Energy efficient drying of sewage sludge

Drying sewage sludge using our plated belt drying system

Sewage sludge deposits frequently pose difficulties for water treatment stations. Drying sludge may provide a solution. Dorset has practical experience with the drying of sewage sludge.

This is a sustainable and cost-effective way of recycling sewage sludge into fuel. Our sludge dryers are frequently provided with Dorset Air Washers, which reduce emissions to the set standards.

As a manufacturer of air washers, Dorset can simply install an air washer or deliver it with the machinery. We offer total turn-key solutions including heat recovery, safety, storage and air cleaning equipment.

Benefits of the Dorset dryer

the best value for money

Low energy consumption

Highly compact and flexible

Requires little maintenance

Fully automatic operation without supervision is possible

Dewatered sludge can be dried without intermediate treatment

Low dust generation through low air speed

Why dry sludge?

  • Making good use of residual heat during the entire year
  • Lower storage and transport costs
  • New sales and utilization possibilities
  • hygienization and reduced emissions/odours

Possibilities for using dried sewage sludge

Dried sewage sludge is regularly used as a fuel or biosolids

After dewatering the sludge, a dry matter percentage of between 18 and 22% will usually remain. After drying sewage sludge with a Dorset Dryer, a dry matter content of 90% can be achieved.
