Sludge is a semi-solid residual substance that remains after industrial or refining processes. It is composed of solid particles suspended in a liquid, with a significant proportion of interstitial water present. By drying this material, it is possible to reduce its volume and eliminate most of the moisture content, including the biosolids present in the sludge.Thermosag is one of renowned sludge dryer manufacturers in Gujarat.
The treatment of wastewater produces sludge, which can be classified into two categories: raw primary sludge and secondary sludge. Several methods are commonly employed to process sludge resulting from wastewater treatment. The following are some of the most frequently used techniques.
Sludge resulting from wastewater treatment generally has a water content ranging between 97% and 99.5%. Sludge thickening is a method that increases the solid content of sludge by minimizing the water content with low energy input. This process typically takes place in a gravity thickener tank, and it is considered one of the simplest ways to reduce the water content of sludge while consuming minimal energy. By employing this method, the total volume of sludge can be reduced to less than half of its original volume.
The objective of dewatering is to decrease the water content in sludge to approximately 20% while maintaining the solid content. This approach allows the sludge to be managed as a solid material. Mechanical dewatering can be achieved through various methods, such as using a Decanter, filter press, or Screw Press, or by utilizing drying beds. Among these techniques, sludge drying beds offer a straightforward dewatering approach. The process involves spreading digested sludge slurry on an open sand bed, and the water is removed through a combination of evaporation and gravity drainage via the sand.
The thermal drying process involves applying thermal energy to the sludge to facilitate water evaporation. This process is useful in reducing the volume of the sludge, making storage, transportation, packaging, and retailing easier. The procedure of drying sludge typically comprises of two techniques: direct and indirect drying. However, in recent times, indirect thermal drying has become more prevalent as it allows for the reduction of the sludge volume by extracting the moisture content and attaining a dry solids content of approximately 90%. This approach minimizes the environmental impact, creates a stabilized dry granular product that is simple to store and deliver, and is ideal for agricultural use.

The sludge dryer is a type of industrial dryer that is specifically designed to dry sludge, a semi-solid waste material that is generated during the treatment of wastewater. The working principle of the sludge dryer involves the following steps:
The sludge dryer is an effective and efficient method for drying sludge, as it eliminates the need for the sludge to be stored and transported while it is still wet. This helps to reduce the volume and weight of the sludge, making it easier to transport and dispose of. Additionally, the sludge dryer helps to reduce the risk of odors and pathogens, as the drying process helps to kill bacteria and other microorganisms.
The specifications of a sludge dryer may vary depending on the manufacturer and the specific application. However, Thermosag India Pvt Ltd is a leading sludge dryer manufacturer in Gujarat, India and our some common specifications include:

As one of the top sludge dryer manufacturers in India, our sludge dryer comes with the following features,
The use of dried or treated sludge is widespread and mainly includes agricultural land application. When sludge is dried to produce biosolids, it can be used as a fertilizer for crop harvesting. The organic nitrogen and phosphorus found in biosolids are released slowly throughout the growing season, making it an efficient source of plant nutrients for crops. This allows crops to absorb these nutrients as they grow.
In addition to crop harvesting, the treated sludge can also be used as a top dressing on golf course fairways, a soil conditioner for the construction of parks and athletic fields, a soil substitute in final landfill cover, and in many other applications.
