Treating waste sludges with calcium oxide - to produce friable solids suitable for landfill or agricultural purposes

Waste aq. sludge is converted to a solid, friable and odour-free prod. by treatment with Ca oxide. The sludge is supplied to a treatment zone at a first rate while the Ca oxide is supplied at a second rate releated to the first so that when the sludge and Ca oxide are mixed an exothermic reaction occurs with the evolution of steam to form the desired prod. having pH >=12. The sludge and Ca oxide are introduced at the desired rates to one end of the treatment zone along which they are moved concurrently at a rate such that the reaction has effectively terminated by the time they reach the other end of the zone. The prod. is removed from this end of the zone and the steam is withdrawn. The method may be used to treat either oil well pumps, sewage sumps, or sludge dredged from the bottom of a lake or harbour. The pH value and the heat produced in the treatment zone deactivates any virus or bacteria present in the sludge. Similarly soluble toxic compounds initially present in the sludge are ...

In a process for the simultaneous incineration of solid refuse and aqueous sewage sludge, hot combustion gases from an incinerator O burning solid refuse are passed into a pressurized vaporizer 4 to partially dewater and thus thicken aqueous sludge fed into the vaporizer at 5. The thickened sludge which is drained off at 7, either continuously or discontinuously, is introduced in an atomized state into the incinerator at 8 to be added to the solid refuse therein prior to incineration. Alternatively the thickened sludge is passed into an intermediate device 9 for mechanical dewatering, e.g. by centrifugal separation or pressure filtration, thereafter to be added to or mixed with the solid refuse entering the incinerator at 1. The vaporizer 4 may be a tubular, heat recovery boiler for saturated steam. The liquid separated in the mechanical dewatering device 9 together with steam from the vaporizer ...

A method and apparatus for the treatment of sewage sludge

A method of treating sewage sludge in liquid or slurry form includes heating the sludge in a heating tank ?22! by means of a gas burner ?2! which is totally immersed in the sludge. A pump ?40! pumps sludge in the tank ?22! through pipes ?20! into the combustion chamber of the burner at a high speed thereby heating and sterilising the sludge. The sludge is then transferred to a digester ?24! by a pump ?48! where it is subjected to an anaerobic fermentation. The combustible gas produced in the digester is withdrawn by a pump ?30! through a gas line ?28!, mixed with air and fed to the burner to serve as the burner fuel.

In one process the sludge is mixed with a small amounted of gas, e.g. air, CO 2 or N 2 , passed through a heat exchanger to preheat it, passed through a reactor in which it is heated to 190- 230‹ C. by steam injection and passed again through the heat exchanger to cool it. Gases are separated from the cooled sludge which is then mixed with lime, alum or ferric chloride and allowed to settle in a settling tank. The settled sludge is vacuum filtered and passed to an incinerator. The liquid separated ...
