Various energy sources can be utilized, including:
This approach ensures that waste heat is effectively used rather than being lost to the environment.
Sewage sludge, dewatered to about 25% dry matter using a screw press or filter press, is transported to a 1412 ft³ push floor container by loader, conveyor, or screw.
The push floor doses the sludge into a trough screw, where it is mixed with recycled dry sludge to reach 45% dry matter and then enters the first drying chamber.
Here, it is subjected to high-speed rotating blades and mixed with 570°F hot exhaust gases, achieving rapid turbo-drying with an evaporation rate of 700 Wh/L or 1100 Btu/lb of water.
The biochar, rich in carbon, is discharged, cooled, and collected, offering a significant carbon sink potential important for climate crisis management. This biochar can potentially be certified as a nutrient-rich product.
The dried sludge is then pelletized into dust-free, transportable pellets (approx. 0,52″) suitable for:
Pyrolysis is an endothermic process requiring heat. The pyrolysis steam generated is burned in the T:CRACKER®, with part of the heat used for the process and the rest heating the dryer, reducing the need for primary energy like natural gas. crisis management.
