Drying and Incinerating Equipment for Sewage Disposal Plans

Introduction

This drying and incinerating equipment processes dehydrated waste and sludge generated in sewage disposal plants. Once the dehydrated sludge is dried by incineration exhaust gas, it is incinerated or conveyed to outside the plant for recycling. Dehydrated waste is burned together with dried sludge in the incinerator.

Processes

1) Receiving ------- Dehydrated waste (water content: approx. 60%), dehydrated 
                     sludge (water content: approx. 80%)

2) Drying ---------- Dehydrated sludge (water content: approx. 80%) -> Dehydrated sludge (water content: approx. 30%)

3) Incineration ---- Dehydrated waste (water content: approx. 60%), dehydrated sludge (water content: approx. 30%)

Features

1) Sturdy furnace pusher system ensures highly stable incineration.

2) Hot exhaust gas from the incinerator furnace is used as the heat source, saving the energy used to dry the dehydrated sludge.

3) Rotary drier with stirrer vanes ensures highly efficient drying operation.

4) Exhaust gas is deodorized by ample secondary combustion.

5) Waste-heat is collected by a heat exchanger to save fuel used in secondary combustion.

6) Suitable hopper siting and conveyor operation allows various operation patterns to be supported.

7) Installation of a hot-air furnace enables drying only.

8) Induction fans are located at the rear of the deodorizer furnace to prevent leakage of combustion gases.

9) Furnace pressure control, temperature control, hopper level monitoring are managed on the instrumentation panel to ensure safe running and operation.

Installation Example

- Dehydrated waste ------ 150 kg/hr (water content: 60%)
- Dehydrated sludge ----- 823 kg/hr (water content: 78%)
