Abstract
Process for autothermal incineration of sludge originating from urban and/or industrial water purification stations and of household refuse, wherein it consists in carrying out a dehydration of the sludge by centrifuging-drying while employing the sensible heat of the fumes produced in the incineration furnace, the said dehydrated sludge being introduced, in pulverulent form, into the incineration furnace at the same time as the household refuse.
Claims10
A process for autothermal incineration of sludge originating from urban an/or industrial water purifications stations and of household refuse, the steps comprising:
- conveying liquid sludge for dehydration;
- subjecting the sludge to centrifuging for removing liquid therefrom;
- simultaneously subjecting the centrifuging sludge to heat for accelerating drying and completing the dehydration;
- conveying resulting pulverizing dried sludge for incinerating the sludge;
- simultaneously incinerating household refuse;
- and
- utilizing the heat of fumes generated during incinerating to dry the sludge during the dehydration step.
A process for autothermal incineration of sludge originating from urban an/or industrial water purifications stations, the steps comprising:
- conveying liquid sludge for dehydration;
- subjecting the sludge to centrifuging for removing liquid therefrom;
- simultaneously subjecting the centrifuging sludge to heat for accelerating drying and completing the dehydration thus resulting in pulverizing dried sludge having a dryness greater than 65%;
- conveying resulting pulverizing dried sludge for incinerating the sludge;
- and
- utilizing the heat of fumes generated during incinerating to dry the sludge during the dehydration step.
