Sludge Drying System

Requirements of federal and state regulatory agencies regarding sludge disposal continue to become more and more stringent with the ultimate goal of environmental protection. Accordingly, land fill and land application costs will continue to escalate.

The Roediger Sludge Drying System is designed to provide a long term solution to your sludge disposal needs. The Roediger System can accept partially dewatered sludge cake from a belt filter press, vacuum filter, centrifuge, plate and frame press or other dewatering device, and increase the cake dryness to a level between 85-98% dry solids.

Product Specifications and Model Information

Performance Data and Advantages

• Increases sludge cake dry solids to a maximum of 98% ds.
• Reduces sludge volume approximately 85%.
• Improves handling capability due to granulated, pelletized product with excellent flow characteristics.
• Produces a final product with high residual shear resistance.
• Provides a product that meets "Regulation 503-Class A".
• Provides a product that is non-hygroscopic.
• Provides a product that is odor-free.
• Conserves fuel and energy through recycling of by-products.
• Minimizes dust and pollution generation due to granulization of the sludge.
• Minimizes air pollution through the use of biofilters.
• Requires minimal system start-up, approximately 15 minutes.
• Provides selectivity of fuel.
• Provides heating capability for buildings and digesters.
• Operates relatively free of maintenance.
