LARGE SLUDGE DRYER

 Unlike many sludge dryer manufacturers who build every system to order, Met-Chem currently has a large industrial sludge dryer already in production. Because the original project was canceled, the remaining fabrication can be completed quickly, giving customers access to one of the shortest delivery times available in the industry.

This system is designed for facilities looking to:

• Reduce sludge disposal costs 
• Produce Class A biosolids 
• Increase plant capacity 
• Reduce hauling expenses 
• Improve sludge handling 
• Lower long-term operating costs

 150 Cubic Foot Gas Heated Batch Sludge Dryer

Capacity

150 Cubic Feet

Heat Source

Natural Gas

Operation

Batch

Construction

Heavy-duty industrial steel

Applications

• Municipal wastewater plants 
• Industrial wastewater treatment 
• Food processing 
• Paper mills 
• Chemical processing 
• Metal finishing 
• Mining 
• Biosolids processing

Most sludge leaving a filter press still contains approximately 65–80% moisture.

After thermal drying, the material can often be reduced to approximately 10% moisture (90% solids) depending on the sludge characteristics, dramatically reducing both weight and volume. Your site already demonstrates this with laboratory drying results, so link directly to those results as supporting proof.

 This dryer is designed to integrate with nearly every common dewatering process, including:

• Filter Presses 
• Belt Filter Presses 
• Screw Presses 
• Centrifuges 
• Lamella Clarifiers 
• DAF Systems 

This section creates excellent internal linking opportunities to your other wastewater equipment sites..

• Equalization Tank 
• pH Adjustment 
• Clarifier or DAF 
• Filter Press 
• 150 Cubic Foot Sludge Dryer 
• Final Storage or Beneficial Reuse

Large sludge dryers offer significantly lower operating costs per ton than smaller systems while allowing operators to process greater quantities of sludge each shift.

Benefits include:

• Less trucking 
• Lower landfill fees 
• Smaller sludge volume 
• Easier storage 
• Improved odor control 
• Drier finished product 
• Better material handling

 This is not a used sludge dryer.

It is a new Met-Chem sludge dryer that became available after a customer's project was canceled.

Advantages include:

• New equipment 
• Full factory support 
• Short lead time 
• Modern controls 
• Heavy-duty construction 
• Immediate production slot 
• No long manufacturing delay

 How quickly can this dryer ship?

Approximately four weeks, compared to typical custom-manufactured lead times of several months. 

No. This is new equipment from a canceled customer order.

• Municipal biosolids 
• Industrial sludge 
• Food waste sludge 
• Paper mill sludge 
• Metal hydroxide sludge 
• Chemical sludge 

Natural gas.

Yes. Sample testing is available to determine drying performance before purchase.
