Advanced Sewage sludge dryingthat redefines environmental standards and is economically advantageous at the same time - all this is achieved with the systems from michel SLUDGE-DRYING-SYSTEMS systems. Our systems optimally prepare sewage sludge for gentle disposal or recycling. utilizationfor example in the course of phosphorus recycling.

Sewage sludge drying - a decisive step for your waste utilization

What is sewage sludge?

Sewage sludge is the by-product of wastewater treatment, consisting of solid materials that have been removed from the wastewater. This sludge, which still has a high moisture content, contains a mixture of organic and inorganic materials, microorganisms and potentially pathogenic bacteria.

The sludge may also contain heavy metals and other pollutants that require careful treatment to protect the environment and human health. The effective and safe drying of sewage sludge is therefore a key element of modern waste management and environmental protection strategies.

This is why sewage sludge drying is indispensable

Drying sewage sludge significantly reduces its volume and weight, as it removes a large proportion of its liquid content. This simplifies the transportation and further processing of the sewage sludge and reduces costs.

Drying helps to stabilize the sludge by reducing biological activity, minimizing unpleasant odours and preventing the spread of pathogens. It also makes the recovery of valuable substances from the sludge more efficient, thereby supporting recycling and sustainability goals.

Dried sewage sludge can be safely stored and used in a variety of ways:

As a renewable fuel: Use in biomass power plants for energy generation.
As a high-quality fertilizer: Provision of essential nutrients for agriculture.
In the construction industry: Used as an aggregate for the production of building materials such as bricks or paving stones.

For phosphorus recycling: Dried sludge can be used to recover valuable phosphorus through wet chemical extraction or thermal treatment.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about sewage sludge drying

How is sewage sludge dried?

Sewage sludge is dried through the application of heat and pressure, using techniques such as contact and convection drying. This removes the moisture from the sludge, which reduces its volume and weight and facilitates transportation, storage and further processing.

What exactly is sewage sludge?

Sewage sludge is a by-product of wastewater treatment, consisting mainly of organic materials, microorganisms and solids filtered from the water. It contains nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, but can also contain pollutants such as bacteria and heavy metals, which requires careful treatment and disposal.

Is sewage sludge combustible?

Yes, sewage sludge is combustible, especially after it has been completely dried. Dried sewage sludge can be used as a fuel in specially designed plants to generate energy. However, before the sewage sludge is dried, the material is generally not combustible due to its high water content.
