Biosolids dryers reduce the volume and weight of sludge by removing water content, thereby lowering disposal costs and simplifying handling. These dryers use various technologies, such as thermal processes and electro-osmosis, to achieve higher dry solids content in the sludge. Advances in these systems have focused on improving energy efficiency, minimizing chemical use, and even addressing environmental concerns like PFAS contamination, making them increasingly vital for sustainable sludge management. Take a look at some product options below.
ELODE USA Electro-Osmosis Dehydrator
The compact Electro-Osmosis Dehydrator from ELODE USA can easily retrofit in line with many existing presses. It is specified to reduce sludge disposal costs by 60% by producing much drier sludge cake. It uses the electrical potential difference in the sludge cake to separate water in the process and it works on 95% of municipal cakes tested without any chemical, polymer, heat nor mechanical press. It can be used to turn 15 to 20% DS cake to 40 to 45% DS quickly.
