Environment Friendly Sludge (Coal Slime) Industrial Drying Equipment

Equipment Introduction :

Sludge refers to the sediment produced by dealing with waste water through the physical, chemical,

biological methods, According to their sources, which can be divided into electroplating sludge, printing

and dyeing sludge, tanning sludge, paper sludge, pharmaceutical sludge, sewage sludge, living sewage

sludge and petrochemical sludge, etc. Because of its features of poor mobility, high viscosity, easy to

agglomerate, and the water is not easy to evaporate and so on, it’s very hard to dry, and the high drying

technology is required (the drying technology of this drying system is also adopted to dry the coal

slime, gypsum and other similar wet sticky materials).

With the continuous enhance of people's awareness of environment protection, and sludge drying

technology is also in the rapid development, the constant innovation and improvement also happens in

the aspects of energy saving, safety, reliability, sustainability. Our company environmental friendly

sludge industrial drying equipment is going to reduce the water content of dewatered sludge from 80 +

10% to 20 + 10%. It makes use of sludge to produce valuable fertilizer, concrete aggregate, even fuel.

That is why we call it environmental friendly.

Advantages of Industrial Drying Equipment:

1. The weight of the dried sludge can be reduced to 1/4 weight of wet material before drying, which

greatly reduces the enterprise's environment and economic pressure;

2. The air inlet temperature of the dryer is 600-800, and it can be used for sterilization, deodorant, etc.

at the same time of drying, and reliable guarantee will be provided for the utilization of dried products;

3. The dried products can be used as feedstuff, fertilizer, fuel, building materials, and raw materials for

extracting heavy metals, to realize waste utilization.

The dewatered sludge will be transported to feeding head of the dryer through the screw conveyor after

scattering, and then it will be sent into the inside of the dryer through the unpowered spiral sealing

feeder (the patent technology of our company), and going through several following working areas after

getting into the dryer:

1. Material leading-in area

The sludge will come into contact with the high temperature negative pressure air after getting into this

area and plenty of water will be rapidly evaporated, and the sludge can’t be formed into sticky stuff under

the stirring of large guide angle lifting plate.

2. Cleaning area.

The material curtain will be formed while the sludge is lifted up at this area, and it will cause the material

stick on the cylinder wall while it’s falling down, and the cleaning device is installed at this area (Lifting

style stirring plate, X type second time stirring plate, impacting chain, impacting plate), the sludge can

be quickly removed from the cylinder wall by the cleaning device, and the cleaning device can also

crush the materials which are bonded together, so as to increase the heat exchange area, increase the

time of heat exchange, avoid the generation of wind tunnel phenomenon, improve the drying rate;

3. Inclined lifting plate area

This area is the low temperature drying area, the slime of this area is at the low moisture and loose

state, and there is no adhesion phenomenon at this area, the finished products reach the moisture

requirements after the heat exchange, and then enter the final discharge area;

4. Discharging area

There aren’t stirring plates at this area of the dryer cylinder, and the material will be rolling to the

discharging port.

The sludge gradually becomes loose after drying, and discharged from the discharging end, and then

sent to the designated position by the conveying device, and the fine dust drawn out along with the tail

gas is collected by the dust collector.

Hot air enters into the drying machine from the feeding end, and the temperature is gradually reduced at

the same time of material convection heat transfer, and the water steam taken out under the suction of

induced draft fan, and then emitted into the air after processing.

Application after drying :

During the wastewater treatment process of the smelting plant, the circuit board printing factory,

electroplating factories and other enterprises, and the sludge produced contains plenty of heavy metals

(copper, nickel, gold, silver, etc.). There will be a major pollution if these metal elements are drained, but

considerable economic benefits can be reached after extraction and refining. The approximate calorific

value of the dried sludge is from 1300 to 1500 calories, three tons of dry sludge can be equivalent to one

ton of 4500 kcal coal, which can be burned in the furnace mixed with coal. Concrete aggregate, cement

admixture and the production of pavement encaustic brick, permeable brick, fiber board, to make bricks

by adding into the clay, its strength is equivalent with common red bricks, and it’s with a certain amount

of heat, in process of fired brick, the spontaneous combustion can be reached to increase the heat. The

dried sludge will ferment into high quality organic fertilizer after adding the cow manure, with good

fertilizer efficiency, safe and convenient use, and disease resistance and to promote growth, which can

also fertilize soil. There is high content of N, P and K in the sludge, and it’s much higher than that of pig

manure, cattle manure and chicken manure, and there is rich organic compound content. It can be used

as agricultural fertilizer after the processing of environmental friendly sludge industrial drying equipment,

and can make quality soil through re-proportioning landfill.
