Wastewater Engineering: Sludge Reduction, Grit Removal & Cost-Saving Dryers | WEFTEC SERIES | EP5


Listen Later

★ How solar dryer systems transform sludge drying in sunny climates and what environmental and the efficiency benefits it offers

★ How focusing on sludge minimization over wastewater biology can significantly reduce transport costs.

★ How the strain press efficiently removes fibers and plastics from sludge, ensuring cleaner, more manageable waste for disposal.

★ The cost savings achieved by converting sludge into reusable products, reducing landfill and transportation expenses.

★ Grit removal technology, capable of handling finer particles (down to 75 microns) compared to traditional systems (around 300 microns).

★ A belt thermal dryer capable of achieving up to 90% dry solids in sludge, turning it into a product viable for use as fertilizer.
