Process Workflow

1. Feeding:

• On the top of the machine through the inlet door wet sludge can be loaded.

1. Mixing:

• The sludge is introduced into the mixing unit.
• Homogenization ensures even heating and prevents the formation of dry spots or localised overheating.

1. Heating:

• Thermal energy is applied to raise the sludge temperature.
• Heating - indirect (via heat transfer surfaces).

1. Vaporization:

• As the temperature rises, water in the sludge begins to vaporise.
• The system is often maintained under controlled pressure to optimise vaporization efficiency.

1. Moisture Removal:

• Vapors generated are carried away, either naturally (with airflow)
• A vapour treatment unit condenses or scrubs the moisture to minimise environmental impacts.

1. Final Product:

• The dehydrated sludge is discharged as a semi-solid or solid material with significantly reduced water content.
