Valuable Sewage Sludge Drying
Looking for a versatile solution to upgrade sewage sludge to a beneficial product? A further volume reduction is required before the residual outcome from waste water treatment plants can be used. Vandenbroek International offers innovative sewage sludge drying solutions.
The final product of our sludge drying equipment consists of valuable, fully dry, dust-free sludge granules that can be used for e.g.:
- Land application
- Supplementary fuel in coal-fired power stations
- Combined fuel/raw product for the cement industry
- Bulking agent in green waste composting systems
Sustainable thermal sludge drying solutions
Vandenbroek International has more than 25 years of experience in thermal sludge drying. Thermal sludge drying is an effective solution to turn sewage sludge into a useful end product. Our drying technology (VADEB®) suits the individual capacities of regional waste water treatment plants. VADEB® represents the best thermal efficiency for each drying system.
We continuously search for sustainable solutions for waste water sludge. The best possible use of heating value of the dried sludge, combined with the production of useful immobilized end residues, or the use of dried sludge granules as a supplementary fuel for power generation.
Types of Sludge Drying
Our sludge dryers are suitable for various kinds of municipal and industrial sludge. We have different design options for optimal drying efficiency.
- Primary and secondary sewage sludge drying
- (Non) digested sludge drying
- Paper sludge drying
- Metal sludge drying
Our drying solutions are reliable drying methods for sewage sludge drying, and the advanced Multi-Pass-System (MPS) drum dryer converts even the most sticky sludge into an easy to handle hard granule product. The MPS dryer – combined with back mixing – guarantees a flexible operation for mixtures of sewage sludge from different imported sludge.
Thermal sludge drying can be a final solution or an intermediate solution (partial dried sludge), depending on the desired end product and its application.
