Safe Sludge Drying Solutions

BioCon™ sludge drying plants are furthermore CE marked and comply with current EU and national rules, regulations and directives.

BioCon™ is a dual-belt low temperature dryer designed to be one of the safest dryers on the market while maintaining easy and efficient operations.

BioCon™ uses innovative depositors within the dryer to deposit thin strings of dewatered sludge on the first drying belt. The depositor system ensures a large evaporation surface area while the circulated drying air evaporates the water from the sludge.

BioCon™ operates with a drying air temperature range from 180 °C on the first belt to 80-100 °C on the end belt. The sludge residence time in the dryer is more than 60 minutes and the dried sludge meets the US EPA requirements for Class A pathogen reduction.

The BioCon™ Energy Recovery System (BERS) reduces the total output of the plant to 5-10% of the original sludge cake quantity.

Sludge digestion combined with BioCon™ Sludge Drying and the BioCon™ Energy Exchange System (BEES) provides an essential reduction in the need for external energy supply.
