SludgeManager™ process concept

The SludgeManager™ combines the good points of the proven Electric Mole™, such as robustness, ease of maintenance and stainless-steel construction, with the advantages of fully automated operation. It has been developed jointly by Thermo-System, the ACAT company and the University of Hohenheim.

In contrast to the drying process with the Electric Mole, the SludgeManager™ can convey the sludge lengthwise or crosswise at will. This makes continuous operation of the plant possible, with loading and removal points anywhere.

The drying process comprises the following steps:

Loading and
distribution

Turning, mixing
and conveying

Storing and unloading
