REDCO - Solar Sludge Drying Plants
REDCO's Solar Sludge Drying Technology significantly reduces sludge mass and volume by utilizing renewable solar energy. Solar energy serves as a limitless and natural resource for evaporating water. Typically, 1000 liters of water require 720 kW of thermal energy to evaporate, but REDCO's technology reduces this need to just 30-40 kWh of electrical energy. The primary components include a moving steel bridge and an adjustable rotary drum. During the drying process, the wet sludge layer is consistently exposed to evaporation and ventilated to prevent odors. The sludge is evenly distributed throughout the drying chamber. The entire facility operates automatically with PLC control, limiting daily manpower requirements to just 20-30 minutes, thereby enhancing operational efficiency while reducing labor costs. This technology doesn't require additional energy sources and ensures high operational safety without constant operator intervention, although it does require significant land space. It offers a viable, economical solution for sludge disposal post-dewatering, supporting environmental sustainability while setting up modern facilities. The system's mechanical attributes include a total power of 16 kW, a drum rotation speed of 48 revolutions per minute, a bridge speed of 0.4 - 8 meters per minute, and a bridge length of 12 meters, with an approximate total weight of 4000 kg and a drum weight of 1000 kg.
REDCO'S SOLAR SLUDGE DRYING TECHNOLOGY
REDCO's Solar Sludge Drying Technology reduces sludge in mass and volume using renewable solar energy. Solar energy is an unlimited and natural resource for evaporating water. Normally, 720 kW of thermal energy is required to evaporate 1000 liters of water , but REDCO reduces this need to 30-40 kWh of electrical energy.
Features of REDCO Technology:
REDCO's main equipment consists of moving steel bridge and adjustable rotating drum. During the drying process, the moist sludge layer is kept at the top for continuous evaporation and ventilation is provided to prevent bad odors. The sludge is transported throughout the drying hall and distributed evenly. The entire facility is automatically controlled by PLC, and daily personnel requirement is limited to 20-30 minutes. This reduces labor and costs while increasing operational efficiency.
Advantages:
- It does not require additional energy source.
- It provides high work safety without the need for a permanent operator.
Disadvantages:
- There is a need for land.
- This technology from REDCO provides a practical and economical solution for post-dewatering sludge disposal, supporting environmental sustainability while establishing modern facilities.
It is a suitable solution for all types of sludge capacity.
