Thin Film Sludge Dryer Rotor

LCI’s thin film sludge dryers can accept a wide range of sludge types such as digested or undigested sludge, primary and/or secondary sludge, industrial sludge, sludge with high amounts of high strength waste or Biomass, sludge which is poorly dewatered, “sticky” sludges, and more. Sustainable Low Energy Usage to mitigate climate change with optional heat recovery to minimize carbon footprint Adaptable to Process Changes allowing the system to fit current or future processes Low Cost of Ownership including capital, installation, operation, and maintenance Heat recovery for beneficial reuse of the heat stream for digester heating, pre-drying or use in other heating processes Configurable Accepts any Feed Sludge including: Sticky, pasty and liquidly sludges Poorly screened sludges Poorly dewatered sludges Undigested primary and/or secondary sludges with high organic content Industrial sludges Digested sludges Biomass/High Strength Waste sludges Outputs as variety of dried sludge characteristics: Partially or fully Dried Biosolids between 30-95% DS Densities typically greater than 40lb/ft3 Variable dried sludge sizes with low dust content from secondary drying and/or post-product pelletization Construction and Design can be tailored to: Sticky, pasty and liquidly sludges Fit a compact building footprint Fit existing buildings with small overall footprint or low head space Available with multiple condenser options including designs with heat recovery Designs with secondary drying for a more compact footprint Simple The Dryer requires no back-mixing or extruder systems for feeding as sludge is directly pumped into the dryer. The small exhaust vapor stream lowers electrical use and emissions control requirements. Single non-heated auger requires: No alignment No heating fluid Designed for the life of the dryer Automated Operation allows: Continuous operation (24 hr/day) Limited daily operational hours (8-12 hr/day) Quick startup and shutdown (emptying in less than 15 minutes) Single, simple, bolted blades and preconfigured trolly system allow quick and easy Maintenance at the operation floor level. Safe Designed as an indirect dryer with inert drying atmosphere Negative pressure pulls dust and contaminated air into the dryer away from the operational area Proven In service for over 30 years Over 100 installations In service in the US since 2008 | LCI Circle Feeder The Circle Feeder is used to reliably discharge all types of granular materials. The unique design can feed sticky, fluffy, lumpy, flaky, and fibrous materials without issues of bridging and ratholing in the hopper. Every Circle Feeder we provide is specifically designed and engineered to achieve your specific process requirements. Prevent Bridging Achieve Mass Flow Prevent Ratholing Low Noise Prevent Segregation Low Maintenance The Circle Feeder has a variety of features but widely known for its ability to prevent material arching, bridging, and ratholing. Features and Benefits Consistent discharge rate The large inlet exceeds most materials' critical arching diameter, preventing bridging. No ratholing! The slow rotating vanes move the material radially from the center to the outlet ensuring "first in -first out"" mass flow Slow rotating parts insure gentle product handling and minimum downtime Turndown ratio up to 10:1 Low maintenance Both discharging and metering functions How it works The large open inlet exceeds most materials’ critical arching diameter
