Abstract

A wet material treatment apparatus (10) includes a hopper (18) that feeds material into an injector auger (16) that directs the material into an air stream produced by a blower (14). The material moves from the injector auger (16) into a cyclone (22) that separates the material into a liquid and a solid portions. The solid portion is discharged to a scrubber (34), while the liquid portion is discharged through a second outlet. The apparatus (10) can be mounted to a trailer can include two cyclones (22/24) operating in series. Materials processed include biosolids, sludges, agricultural/animal wastes, industrial wastes, coal fines, coal sludge, mineral sludges.
