چکیده

This paper deals with thermal drying of wastewater sludges, whose management will become crucial in the forthcoming years. Sludges collected after mechanical dewatering in 5 different WWTPs are submitted to the same convective drying treatment in order to try finding some relations between the drying behaviours, the type of effluent and wastewater treatments. Results show dearly sludge drying remains a particularly complex operation because sludges may exhibit very different behaviours, both from kinetic and texture points of view. Initial moisture content and global composition are not sufficient to explain the different observed behaviours. It is too early to claim one or another type of water treatment has an influence on the drying behaviour. However, the drying rates can be classified in the inverse order of the organic content. Moreover for sludges at the same siccities, the harder the material (rheological properties), the higher the drying rate. Final textural properties can be related to the rheological properties and the internal diffusion limitations lowering the drying intensity.

Improving the heat transfer properties of waste activated sludge by advanced oxidation processes

The disposal of Waste Activated Sludge is a major problem. The paper presents several disposal routes. The ultimate steps in these routes are indirect drying and subsequent incineration. Although the design of the indirect dryers is straightforward from a required heat input, operating temperature difference between sludge bed and heating medium and the heat transfer coefficient, this coefficie...

Comparison of the impact of three drying processes on the characteristics of Wastewater sludge

Sewage sludge constitute an important by-product of municipal wastewater treatment plants. Their production has grown exponentially during the last decade and was estimated at more than 9 million tons of dry matter in Europe in 2013. Sustainable valorization or disposal options involve direct amendment for crop production or composting. A step of drying is commonly used before, which aims at sa...

Atomized sludges via spray-drying at low temperatures: an alternative to conventional wastewater treatment plants.

Removal of sludges from Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) represents a serious worldwide environmental problem for which alternatives other than their simple incineration are investigated. In this work the treatment of raw sludge from urban WWTP by means of a minimization process through spray-drying is analyzed as well as some proposals for revaluating the resulting dry product. Analysis is s...
