[...]Sliding hatch cover, constructed entirely of 1.4307 (AISI 304 L) stainless steel, with a smooth finish. The sliding cover provides access to downward leading stairs. The cover is made from durable stainless steel plate and features plastic rollers with maintenance-free journal bearings. It is installed in an external guide rail, ensuring it cannot be removed. The cover can be securely locked when closed using a cylindrical lock. The rails consist of 60/40/2 mm rectangular section fixed with dowels along the rail edge. Manhole cover and rails shielded arc-welded, acid-treated in a pickling bath[...]

[...]Solutions for cost-efficient sludge dewatering Sewage sludge produced in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants requires dewatering prior to further treatment or utilization. Rising costs for sludge disposal make it necessary to concentrate the sludge to a high solids content. Mechanical sludge dewatering is used to reduce the amount of sludge by separating sludge water. A more or less firm sludge cake is produced. Prior to its dewatering, fed sludge is first flocculated by addition of polymers (sludge conditioning). Sludge Conditioning Economic Sludge Dewatering For the economic [...]

[...]Sludge Drying Cost reduction on sludge transportation and disposal costs. Efficient solutions to minimize the volume of sludge for disposal Wastewater sludge is dried to minimize its mass and save sludge transport and disposal costs. Handling and storage of dried sludge is cost effective, plus any further disposal and utilization methods are made possible. The dried product can be used as fertilizer, as well as fuel – the calorific value of fully dried sludge is similar to that of brown coal. Thermal energy from different energy sources Thermal drying involves the evaporation or vaporization of [...]

[...]Efficient and reliable removal of coarse material from sludge For the operational safety of sludge treatment processes, it is advantageous if the sludge is as free as possible of coarse material and disturbing solids (e.g. paper, plastics, fibers, and hair). Otherwise, repeated malfunctions of aggregates and processes may occur in pumps, but also during thickening, dewatering, or drying, these can be time-consuming, costly to rectify, and require increased manpower. For the agricultural recycling practiced in many regions of the world, it also makes sense to separate all solids, such as plastic[...]

[...]Various solutions for conveying dewatered and dried sewage sludge Sludge transport plays an important role in the planning and construction of sludge drying plants. On the one hand, the dewatered sewage sludge has to be brought into the dryer, and on the other hand, the fully or partially dried sewage sludge has to be transported away from the dryer. When designing a particular transport solution, important criteria include not only the required transport capacity but also the sludge properties (moist, dry, sticky, dusty,...) and the desired degree of automation. Feeding and Removing Supply and[...]

[...]Mechanical sludge thickening to reduce sludge volume Before sludge with a very high water content is subjected to further treatment, it is a good idea to reduce its volume by thickening. This also increases the solids content of the sludge. If sludge with a solids content of 1% is thickened to 6% solids, this gives a volume reduction of more than 80%. The thickening of the sludge is effected by separating sludge water; thin sludge becomes thick sludge. It is viscous but still pumpable. Sludge Volume Reduction Excess Sludge Thickening Sludge settles in gravity thickeners and is compressed by[...]

[...]Using the energy of the sun Solar drying of sludge uses the energy of the sun as a thermal energy source. This provides a very ecological, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient process for the treatment of sludge from wastewater treatment plants or water purification plants. The basic principle of the process is that the sludge is dried in a greenhouse structure. The sludge can be brought into the greenhouse manually, for example with a wheel loader, or automatically, directly from the dewatering facility by means of special conveying units. In the greenhouse, the sludge must be distributed[...]

[...]Freystadt, Germany Due to the new regulations and legislation for sewage sludge, disposal costs have doubled for many sewage treatment plants or increased to far more than 100 € per ton original substance. The reason for the cost increase is that the standard solution for meeting the requirements of the new legislation is sludge incineration. Incineration capacities are however unequally distributed and exploited to a large extent, and transport ways have become longer on many sites. Disposal costs can be reduced if the sludge volume is reduced through drying. The Bavarian municipality Freystadt [...]

[...]Penzing, Germany Solar sewage sludge drying has become a generally accepted ecological and economical technology. To make the implementation and operation of a solar drying plant a sustainable success, all relevant aspects need to be fulfilled: economic and planning aspects but as well acceptance on the part of the operator and the public. One of the plants that offer both, a perfect design concept and acceptance, is installed on WWTP Penzing-Weil near the Upper Bavarian lake Ammersee located southwest of Munich. About 8,500 residents are connected to this aerobic stabilised sewage treatment [...]
