LCI Corporation offers specialized thin film sludge dryers that are based on the same design principle of thin film evaporators. Our thermal sludge drying equipment is designed to simply & safely dry dewatered sludge in a sustainable & configurable process. Capable of handling the toughest of drying applications, our thin film sludge dryers can produce dried solids output from 30% to 90%+, depending on your needs. Thin Film Sludge Dryers are thermal drying systems designed for sludge treatment at municipal wastewater or industrial wastewater treatment plants. Their purpose is to reduce sludge volume by decreasing the liquid content & increasing the solid content of sludge reducing the volume & weight of sludge while significantly decreasing disposal costs.
Our dryers guarantee low energy use to mitigate climate change with optional heat recovery minimizing your carbon footprint. Simple & safe as the dryers require no back-mixing or extruder systems for feeding, as the sludge is directly pumped into the dryer small exhaust vapor streams lower electrical use & emissions control requirements. LCI thin film sludge dryer is designed to accept any feed sludge, including:
– Sticky, pasty & liquid
– Poorly screened – Poorly dewatered
– Undigested primary/secondary, with high organic content – Digested
– Biomass & high strength waste – Industrial – Municipal Common Processes Supported by LCI thin film sludge dryers include: – Agricultural (Beneficial Reuse)
– Incineration
– Gasification
– Pyrolysis
– Landfill Disposal
– Class A Biosolids LCI thin film sludge dryers are constructed to fit a compact building footprint, fit existing buildings with small overall footprint, can be designed with secondary drying & are available with multiple condenser options.
