Abstract

This paper presents the economic optimization of indirect sewage sludge heat dryer for sewage sludge incineration plants. The objective function based on two-phase heat transfer, and economic relations is provided to demonstrate the optimum size for the minimum investment cost. De-watered sludge is fed into the dryer with a mass flow rate of 165 tons per day and consists of 27% dry matter. After the sludge drying process, the dryness of sludge increases up to 40%. In the indirect sludge dryer unit, thermal oil is used to heat the dryer wall and to prevent heat loss. Thermal oil is circulated in a closed cycle and gathered into an oil tank. Total cost of the sludge dryer unit changes proportional to the dryer area. The optimum dryer area is found as 32.54 m². The corresponding minimum cost is found as $35,700.
