Original Abstract

The contribution describes investigations in the attainable dry matter content of thermally disintegrated sewage sludge. The purpose is to find the effects of thermal disintegration on sewage sludge. Additionally, to identify disintegration conditions especially temperature level for energy efficient equipment design. Measurements showed that thermal disintegration of sewage sludge results in a higher amount of undissolved matter in the supernatant water. The improve in dry matter content depends highly on the temperature level and was identified to be significant from 120C onwards. Based on the results, investigations in thermal disintegration will be intensified in the region of relevant temperatures.
