Revolutionizing the process of mud drying: Michel GmbH and SDS bring efficiency, modularity, and sustainability.
The SDS sludge drying system, developed in partnership between michel gmbh and SLUDGE-DRYING-SYSTEMS (SDS), is an innovative solution for sustainable sludge treatment. This deployable, flexible system focuses on drying sludge effectively, reducing costs, and protecting the environment.
The modular cascade dryer, along with the IntelligentDRY® control system, is a key component in the transformation process towards a circular economy. This system is suitable for decentralized use, making it ideal for municipalities, industry, and recycling facilities.
The SDS dryer can handle a wide variety of sludge types, including residues with high moisture content and high organic substance content. It operates at low temperatures, using waste heat (from 60°C) and significantly reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
One of the system's most notable features is its high energy efficiency. For example, the patented Dune sludge drying system uses 90% less energy than conventional methods, greatly reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
Advanced mechanical designs, such as the Mechanical Dryer T 150-300, incorporate rotating sieve baskets with integrated water spray nozzles and centrifugal drying chambers for rapid and thorough moisture removal and easy maintenance.
Pumps and macerators, like those from SEEPEX, optimize sludge transfer and conditioning before drying, improving process reliability and efficiency. Nutrient preservation and moisture removal optimization are also crucial, with innovations like thermally assisted mechanical dewatering (TAMD) showing promise for best moisture removal while conserving nutrients.
Benefits of such systems include energy and cost savings, significant biosolid volume reduction, enhanced product quality, and operational improvements. Modern design enables easier maintenance, predictive monitoring, and adaptation to varied sludge types.
The system's impact on the circular economy is profound. These systems facilitate waste-to-resource transformations by recovering valuable nutrients and organic matter from wastewater sludge, turning waste streams into usable products. By minimizing energy use and reducing waste volume, they help close material and energy loops, improving sustainability of wastewater treatment operations.
The production of Class A biosolids suitable for agriculture or energy aligns with circular principles, promoting recycling, reducing landfill dependence, and supporting renewable energy generation.
Both michel gmbh and SDS have a value-oriented corporate culture, emphasizing responsibility, openness, and partnership. The system, including the control technology IntelligentDRY®, sets new standards for efficient and practical sludge treatment. It is not just a technical solution, but a tool for change, promoting self-responsibility, efficiency, and environmental awareness.
The modular, decentralized design of the system allows for flexible adaptation to various plant locations and can be individually scaled and upgradeable. The system can efficiently dry industrial sludge from different production processes, such as food, chemical, and textile industries.
The SDS sludge drying system provides a flexible, efficient, and sustainable response to current challenges in sludge drying. It operates locally, contributing to the core of the circular economy.
