USA-Sludge - Low Temperature Heat Pump Sludge Dryer
USA Sludge uses an advanced heat pump technology, our low temperature sludge dryer operates at a temperature between 120 – 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Recycling waste heat that is generated in the machine increases efficiency and lowers the energy needed to dry sludge. Moisture that is trapped inside the cabinet, a by-product of sludge drying, then moves through a heat exchanger, where the air is condensed to water. This condensate water can be used as reclaimed water.
Energy savings are significant using this sustainable and unique dehumidification heat pump sludge dryer. There are no spills and odor control equipment is not needed. By controlling time and temperature, sludge volume can be reduced up to 67% and the weight can be reduced up to 80%, saving money in transportation costs. A typical 6,000 gallon of DAF tanker sludge can be reduced to four 55-gallon drums of dried solids.
Our sludge dryer can be used in urban and rural industries as well as municipalities and meets the EPA 503 Regulations, with a viable end product that is a soil amendment, having multiple uses and benefits.
