HUBER Solutions for Sludge Drying
During thermal sludge drying almost all water is evaporated, including surface, capillary and cell water. Supply of heat is needed, preferably from combined power and heat generation systems. A great portion of the drying heat is recovered from the exhaust and re-circulated. Solids contents in the dried product of 90% DS and above can be achieved.

Thin Film Sludge Dryer
The sludge is pumped into the dryer where the rotating blades on the rotor convey and evenly spread the sludge into a thin film (1-3mm) against the outer heating surface. Heating fluid (steam, water, or thermal oil) flows on the outside of the heating surface and heat is indirectly transferred to the sludge film.

Thermal sludge drying
Thermal sludge drying is a treatment process for dehydrated sludge from sewage treatment plants. The objective of this process is to evaporate as much water as possible from the sludge in the safest, most energy-efficient way from both free water and capillary water, obtaining high percentages of dryness depending on the drying process.
