Definitions
- the application relates generally to a sludge drying method and a device used therein.
- Sludges are wet fiber-rich fractions that can be divided into fiber sludge and biosludge made up mostly of wastewater-purifying bacterial mass.
- the amount of biosludge is significant and its proportional share of all sludges has been in steady increase over the past decades.
- the pasty and sticky biosludge consists of a bacterial cell structure with a high content of intracellular water. Filamentous bacteria hamper dewatering, so the drying of biosludge necessary for incineration is achieved very poorly with the available dryer types. As a result of poorly achieved dewatering, the heating value of dried biosludge remains low.
- One objective of the invention is to solve some of the prior art problems, to in crease the heating value of biosludge, and to achieve cost savings in the final disposal of biosludge by increasing its dry content by means of a novel bi osludge treatment method and device.
- the novel method and de vice enable enhancement of the energy efficiency of biosludge drying and pro duction of dried sludge with a very high level of hygiene.
- the sludge drying method comprises using an electric dryer (electrically assisted dryer) for separating, by means of an elec tric field, water contained in the sludge from its solid material and compressing (squeezing) water mechanically out of the sludge in the electric dryer.
- the method further comprises pre-treating the to-be-dried sludge with ultrasound for at least weakening the cell structure of the sludge, thereby enabling the in ternal water stored in sludge cells to be removed in the electric dryer.
- One embodiment relates to a sludge drying device, which is adapted to imple ment the method according to the foregoing embodiment.
- the device compris es an electric dryer, wherein water contained in the sludge is separated by means of an electric field from its solid material and water is mechanically compressed (squeezed) out of the sludge.
- the device further comprises a pre treatment unit, wherein the to-be-dried sludge is pre-treated with ultrasound for at least weakening the sludge’s cell structure, thereby enabling the internal wa ter stored in sludge cells to be removed in the electric dryer.
- Fig. 1 shows a sludge drying method 100 in the form of a flowchart.
- the sludge to be dried (sludge mass) consists e.g. of primary sludge or biosludge (biomass) generated as processing residue and made up of bacteria.
- step 110 the sludge intended for drying is delivered into a drying device (machine, dryer) 240 used in drying, in which the sludge proceeds either di rectly or by means of the device’s 240 transfer mechanism (transfer element, transfer means) 244, intended for the transfer of material, into its pretreatment unit 246.
- a drying device machine, dryer
- transfer mechanism transfer element, transfer means
- the sludge present in the pretreatment unit 246 of the device 240 is subjected to physical conditioning (pretreatment) for at least weakening its cell structure.
- the pretreatment is conducted by subjecting the sludge to fo cused ultrasound generated by an ultrasound transmitter unit (ultrasound transmitter, sender) 247 installed in the pretreatment unit 246.
- the US trans mitter unit 247 is capable of subjecting the sludge to high intensity focused ul trasound with a frequency of e.g. 20-40 kHz, e.g. 20, 25, 30, 35, or 40 kHz.
- the pretreatment it is possible, when necessary, to optimize (adjust) the intensity of the applied ultrasound by using the device’s 240 control unit (con- trailer) 242 for controlling operation of the US transmitter unit 247 for a capabil ity of suppressing the formation of fines generated in the pretreatment.
- the ultrasound partially disrupts and/or partially weakens the cell structure (cell membranes) of bacteria present in the sludge mass.
- the ultrasound chops up the bacterial structures, which are included in the sludge and which are structures most sensitive to US treatment. It is by virtue of weakening and disrupting the intra-sludge bacterial structures that a removal after the pre treatment of the internal water stored in sludge cells is possible more effective ly than before in an electric dryer (electrically assisted dryer) 250 of the device 240.
- step 114 the ultrasound-pretreated sludge is conveyed by means of the transfer mechanism 244 from the pretreatment unit (pretreater) 246 into a chemical sludge conditioning tank (sludge conditioner) 248 of the device 240.
- pretreatment unit pretreater
- sludge conditioner chemical sludge conditioning tank
- step 116 the pretreated sludge, containing disrupted and weakened bacte rial structures, is subjected in the conditioning tank 248 to chemical condition ing before electrical and mechanical treatment for providing the sludge with sludge floes and free water.
- the sludge floes are produced from chopped-up structures of bacteria with a flocking chemical containing at least one of the fol lowing ingredients: organic polyelectrolyte, inorganic aluminum salt, and inor ganic iron salt.
- the sludge treatment of steps 112 and 116 is a combination of the ultrasound- effected physical and flocking chemicals-effected chemical sludge condition ing.
- step 118 the chemically treated sludge, containing sludge floes and free water, is conveyed by means of the transfer mechanism 244 from the condi tioning tank 248 to the electric drying element (dryer, electric dryer unit) 250 of the device 240 for electrically assisted drying (electro-drying).
- the electric drying element dryer, electric dryer unit
- the transfer mechanism 244 used in step 118 may include a transfer belt dryer section (dryer), wherein the chemically treated sludge is carried on an inclined or horizontally placed wire section (wire) and at the same the sludge can be re lieved of easily removable water before reaching the electric dryer 250.
- the transfer belt dryer section includes lower and upper lip elements (bottom and top lips) intended for holding the sludge on the wire, as well as a roll section provided with multiple rolls and intended for squeezing the sludge.
- Gravitation al dewatering in the transfer belt dryer section can be enhanced with an in clined wire designed to convey the sludge “uphill”, thereby discharging water from the sludge by gravity more effectively than with a wire placed in a horizon tal plane prior to a press-treatment in which more water is removed from the sludge by squeezing between the rolls.
- step 120 the chemically treated sludge is exposed to the effect of an elec tric drying field generated in the electric dryer 250 for an ability to separate from the flocculated sludge at least the free water contained therein from solid material present in the sludge, and at least the free water is compressed (squeezed) in the electric dryer 250 mechanically out of the sludge.
- ultrasonic technology enables the cell membranes of sludge to be disrupted e.g. with forces based on cavitation.
- the sludge is chopped up and the amount of fines con tained in the sludge increases, the sludge becoming thicker.
- the mechanical or thermal drying of thick sludge with appropriate equipment becomes less ef fective since the thick sludge is poorly permeable to air and water as a result of increasing flow resistance caused by the fines.
- the use of ultrasound as a pretreatment for electric drying enables utilization of the strengths of each technique as the cell membranes are disrupted, or at least significantly weakened, by ultrasound, enabling the dewatering in the electric dryer’s electric field to be conducted cost-effectively.
- the deficiencies of ultrasound treatment do not have an undermin ing effect on the success of electric drying because the increase of fines gen erated therein, and the thickening of sludge as a result thereof, disturb the electric drying only slightly as water flow is enabled by the electric field even through small pores.
- step 120 is followed by conveying in step 126 the electro- and press- treated, i.e. electro-dried, sludge by means of the transfer mechanism 244 out of the device 240 for further use or for storage to wait for further use.
- step 126 the electro- and press- treated, i.e. electro-dried, sludge by means of the transfer mechanism 244 out of the device 240 for further use or for storage to wait for further use.
- step 120 is followed by conveying in step 122 the electro-dried sludge by means of the transfer mechanism 244 to the after-treatment unit 252.
- the electro-dried sludge present in the after-treatment unit 252 is after-treated (after-dried) in order to further enhance the dewatering of sludge for improved drying result.
- the after-treatment is conducted by subjecting the sludge to focused microwave radiation generated by a microwave transmitter element (microwave transmitter, sender) 253 installed in the after-treatment unit 252.
- the MW transmitter element 253 is able to expose the sludge to fo cused microwave radiation with a frequency of 300-3000 MHz, e.g. 300, 500, 800, 1000, 2000, or 3000 MHz.
- the microwave treatment enables increasing the final amount of dry matter and improving management of the drying result by resulting in dried sludge of more consistent quality.
- step 124 The after-treatment of step 124, exactly the same way as described in the case of electro-dried sludge in 120, is followed by conveying in step 126 the micro- wave-treated, i.e. after-treated, sludge by means of the transfer mechanism 244 out of the device 240 for further use or storage.
- the device 240 includes a thermal camera unit (thermal camera) 254 comprising at least one thermal camera, then it is possible during the method 100 to monitor the progress of drying and its success by using the thermal camera unit 254 for online measuring. It is possible to perform the monitoring in at least one of the following units of the device 240: pretreatment unit 246, conditioning tank 248, electric dryer 250, and after-treatment unit 252.
- the adjustment of drying capacity has an important role in terms of energy ef ficiency. It is possible to make use of thermal imaging technology not only for determining the need of and properly focusing the adjustment of drying capaci ty but also for avoiding inadvertent local overheating occurrences of the device 240.
- sludges e.g. biosludges
- the drying treatment of sludges must be gentle, but filamen tous bacteria must nevertheless be chopped up and access to intracellular wa ter must be provided without energy consumption rising to an unsustainable level. Therefore, the ultrasound-effected pretreatment is quite suitable for this purpose.
- Microwave drying on the other hand, being an energy-efficient drying method, is excellently suitable for after-drying.
