Final Dried Biosolids Product – Down to 10% Moisture
After processing through a Met-Chem biosolids dryer, dewatered sludge cake can be transformed into a dry, granular material with as little as 10% moisture (90% solids). The final product is typically similar in consistency to coffee grounds or cat litter, making it significantly easier to handle, store, and transport compared to wet cake. This dramatic reduction in moisture not only lowers disposal and hauling costs but also creates a more stable material that can support beneficial reuse applications, including use as a soil amendment or fuel source depending on the project requirements

Final Dried Biosolids Product – Down to 10% Moisture
Dewatered biosolids cake can vary widely in moisture content, but in this lab-tested example, the incoming material started at approximately 70% water and 30% solids. After processing through a Met-Chem biosolids sludge dryer, the final product was reduced to approximately 10% moisture (90% solids). The result is a dry, granular material similar in consistency to coffee grounds or cat litter, making it significantly easier to handle, store, and transport. This level of drying can dramatically reduce hauling costs, improve material stability, and support beneficial reuse options such as land application or fuel use, depending on the specific project requirements

PARKSON LAMELLA CLARIFIER
Before drying biosolids, many facilities use a lamella clarifier to remove free water and solids. Learn more about Parkson lamella clarifier systems and replacement options.
