Drying Technology
Recently, SHINCCI's GIWA Gogebic municipal sludge project in the United States was officially put into operation. After the project was commissioned, municipal sludge is subjected to centralized low-temperature drying treatment, which greatly reduces sludge volume and lowers downstream transport and disposal costs, successfully helping the local water utility system to accomplish sludge reduction and harmless disposal in a compliant and efficient manner.
I. Project Overview: 8 Tons of Municipal Sludge Per Day
The GIWA Gogebic project in the United States is located in Gogebic County, Michigan, and is a sludge disposal facility supporting the local municipal water plant. Taking into account the on-site space conditions, the sludge handling capacity and local environmental control requirements, SHINCCI Group supplied the customer with one integrated low-temperature belt dryer, capable of processing 8 tons of municipal sludge per day.
II. Process Route: Low-Temperature Enclosed Drying, Dried Sludge Moisture Content Reduced to 10%
The complete sludge disposal process: the wet sludge is first pre-dewatered by a multi-disc screw press, with the moisture content stabilized at around 82%; it is then conveyed in an enclosed manner by a screw conveyor to the strip cutter, after which the cut sludge strips are evenly spread on a plastic mesh belt for centralized drying.
The equipment uses hot air below 80℃ to dry the sludge in a fully enclosed manner, and the final moisture content of the dried sludge can be reduced to approximately 10%.
III. Project Benefits: Sludge Volume Reduced by More Than 80%, Delivering Both Environmental and Economic Value
The volume reduction effect is significant, simplifying the subsequent sludge disposal process right from the source. The volume of the dried sludge is greatly reduced, which not only makes storage and transport easier but also directly cuts the expenses of downstream disposal such as outward hauling and landfilling, delivering both environmental and economic benefits.
IV. Deepening the Overseas Market, Continuously Delivering Low-Temperature Drying Solutions
The smooth commissioning of the GIWA project in the United States marks another successful practice of SHINCCI's low-temperature drying equipment in the overseas municipal water sector. In the future, SHINCCI Group will continue to refine its core equipment, delivering stable, efficient, low-carbon and safe drying solutions for solid waste disposal projects at home and abroad, and helping environmental protection projects in various regions operate smoothly.
