하수슬러지 Bio-drying 시 발효조 온도와 수분 저감과의 관련성 연구

Abstract

Since sewage sludge has a high moisture content even after dehydration, when used as energy such as fuel, the moisture content of sewage sludge must be reduced to 10% or less. In the case of using sewage sludge as fuel or reducing moisture, a fermentation and drying system by Bio-drying is introduced, and the Bio-drying system is generally dried by heat generated when aerobic microorganisms decompose organic matter in the sewage sludge, and the correlation between the temperature change and the water reduction of the fermentation tank is determined to be very important. The reduction of sewage sludge moisture by the bio-drying system was found to be most affected by the number of stirrings in the fermentation tank and the maintenance of high temperatures of 70oC or higher, and the reduction of temperature caused by excessive supply of air at 390 to 600mL/kg/min was found. In the case of experiments with one to five times more stirring times, the moisture reduction effect was 14.5% and 15.5%, which showed much greater reduction rate than the average reduction rate of 12.7%.
