Oxidation ditch method (OD method) / Sludge drying, Recycling drying

This is article is about oxidation ditch method which is one of various types of activated sludge process of waste water treatment. This process is also a water treatment method improved from conventional activated sludge process.

■ About oxidation ditch method (OD method) 

 

Oxidation ditch method is developed in the Netherlands to treat dairy waste water with as simple facilities as possible. This waste water treatment method doesn’t need the first clarifier which is used in conventional activated sludge process as well. Aeration is done with small power by making reaction tank and aeration tank to be circular or oval shaped endless water channel where water can circulate, and advantage of this method is that maintenance cost can be kept low. By giving certain level of flow speed to whole water channel, oxygen demanded for aeration process is supplied as sewage and activated sludge are being mixed and circulated.
Activated sludge is prevented to be settled down by being mixed and agitated with wastewater in the water channel. Since it needs large area to be installed, this method is used in small scale sewage facilities located in suburban area.

Types of waste water treatment / sludge drying, slurry drying, waste drying

 


■ Sludge drying

 

Water in the sludge thickened in the sludge thickener tank are removed at dehydration process to a certain degree.
However, moisture content is normally more than 80% and the sludge still has adhesiveness and stickiness. Also, latter processes are not easy because of influence of flocculants. Our drying apparatus of KENKI DRYER with international patented technology can surely dry any sticky, adhesive and viscus sludge, and also materials in liquid state like slurry, without clogging inside of the dryer. Also, because of its simple structure, its price is low and apparatus cost of the dryer can be retrieved by reducing industrial waste disposal cost within 3 years. Dried materials can be recycled as fuel, bacterial fertilizer, soil conditioner, etc. since component of the material is hardly changed because of its low-temperature drying method.
It can be applied to a system with pyrolysis apparatus as well.

Sludge drying

Applications

 

Please consider KENKI DRYER for drying of sticky materials, adhesive materials and materials in liquid state that no other dryer can deal with.
Initial, running and maintenance costs are low because of its simple structure based on internationally patented technology.
For sludge drying, costs of our dryers are estimated to be retrieved within 2, 3 years by reducing industrial waste disposal cost.
For raw material slurry drying, laborious works of manual operation will be decreased significantly by replacing box shaped compartment tray dryer with our dryer
In case of organic wastes drying, the waste can be recycled as fuel, fertilizer, soil conditioner and feedstuff after being dried.
