Efficient sewage sludge sorting in small wastewater treatment plants
Efficient sewage sludge sorting in small wastewater treatment plants
Sewage sludge disposal is a critical process for operators of small wastewater treatment plants. According to the Sewage Sludge Ordinance, sludge produced during water treatment must be treated safely and in an environmentally friendly manner before it can be disposed of.
Sewage sludge in small wastewater treatment plants: what exactly is it?
Sewage sludge is a by-product of wastewater treatmentwhich consists of organic and inorganic substances, microorganisms and often harmful bacteria. It also contains heavy metals and other pollutants that require careful treatment in order to protect environmental and human health.
The effective drying of sewage sludge is therefore an indispensable process in small sewage treatment plants. This makes it possible to reduce the volume and weight of the sludge. This in turn simplifies transportation and further processing and reduces costs.
Advantages of sewage sludge drying with michel SLUDGE-DRYING-SYSTEMS
With the innovative drying systems from michel SLUDGE-DRYING-SYSTEMS sewage sludge is dried efficiently. Our plants use gentle Low temperature drying which enables uniform and energy-efficient dewatering of the sludge. These processes take place directly on site which eliminates transportation costs and increases sustainability.
For sludge disposal in small wastewater treatment plants: adaptation to individual requirements
The systems from michel SLUDGE-DRYING-SYSTEMS are available in different sizes and can be adapted to different sludge types and volumes. This flexibility ensures that each system can be specially adapted to the needs and capacities of the respective small wastewater treatment plant.
For small sewage treatment plantswhere less sludge tends to be produced, we offer a cost-effective and flexible system that can also efficiently dry comparatively small quantities of sewage sludge. This allows us to adapt optimally to the needs and requirements of your small sewage treatment plant. Disposal only takes place once the volume of sewage sludge has been minimized and transport is no longer a challenge.
Wide range of uses for dried sewage sludge
Dried sewage sludge can be used in various areas:
- As a renewable fuel for energy generation in biomass power plants
- As a high-quality fertilizerwhich provides essential nutrients for agriculture
- In the construction industry as an aggregate
- For phosphorus recovery for the production of effective and sustainable fertilizers
FAQ – frequently asked questions about sewage sludge sorting in small sewage treatment plants
What is sewage sludge and why does it need to be treated?
Sewage sludge is a by-product of wastewater treatment that is rich in organic and inorganic substances such as phosphorus, as well as harmful bacteria. Treatment is essential in order to remove pollutants and safely dispose of or reuse the sludge.
How does the drying of sewage sludge in small sewage treatment plants work?
The drying systems from michel SLUDGE-DRYING-SYSTEMS use low-temperature drying to dry sewage sludge gently and energy-efficiently directly on site. This saves transportation costs and efficiently reduces the volume of sludge.
