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 possible. Our plants prepare sewage sludge optimally for gentle disposal or utilizationfor example in the course of phosphorus recyclingbefore.
Sewage sludge drying – a decisive step for your waste utilization
Sludge can 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 central 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, odors minimized and the spread of pathogens prevented. It also makes the Recovering valuable substances from the sludge more efficiently.
Dried sewage sludge can be safely stored and used in a variety of ways:
- As a renewable fuel in biomass power plants for energy generation
- As a high-quality fertilizer with essential nutrients for agriculture
- In the construction industry as an aggregate for the production of building materials such as bricks or paving stones
- For the recovery of valuable phosphorus from dried sludge
With michel SLUDGE-DRYING-SYSTEMS for sustainable sewage sludge utilization
michel SLUDGE-DRYING-SYSTEMS uses innovative technologies to dry sewage sludge efficiently. Our systems use a combination of contact and convection drying for uniform and gentle drying of your sewage sludge – without any transportation, as it is dried directly on site.
The sewage sludge drying takes place at low temperatures in order to save energy and preserve the useful substances contained in the sludge. Our modular systems can be adapted to different types and quantities of sludge and are available in all sizes available to meet the needs of different installations.

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, prior to sewage sludge drying, the material is generally not combustible due to its high water content.
