Abstract
A method and an apparatus of incinerating dewatered sludge without using an auxiliary fuel comprising pelletizing the partially dewatered sludge having a water content of 70 to 75%, drying the pellets with a heat source obtained by burning gases formed by dry-distillation and gasification, using part of the resulting dry-distilled gas in said drying step, dry-distilling the pellets by the sensible heat of a gas formed by gasification, gasifying the dry-distillation residues with air, water vapor and the remainder of said dry-distilled gas.
Claims5
A method of incinerating sewage sludge which comprises the steps of:
- (a) pelletizing dewatered sludge having a water content of 70 to 75% which is obtained by dewatering excess sludge from sewage treatment,
- (b) drying the pellets with a heat source obtained by burning gases described hereunder which are formed by dry-distillation and gasification,
- (c) dry-distilling the pellets by the sensible heat of the gas described hereunder which is formed by gasification,
- (d) using part of the resulting dry-distilled gas in said drying step,
- (e) burning the remainder of the resulting dry-distilled gas in the presence of air and water vapor,
- (f) gasifying the residue from the dry-distillation step with the gas resulting from said burning step,
- (g) using the gas resulting from said gasification step in said drying step and said dry-distillation step, and
- (h) discharging the residue in the form of ash resulting from said gasification step, to thereby achieve incineration of the dewatered sludge without an auxiliary fuel.
