Abstract: A method and system for treating biosolid material having pathogens, the method including: introducing dried biosolid material into a pathogen treatment vessel; monitoring an actual temperature of the dried biosolid material in the treatment vessel; determining a desired residence time of the biosolid material in the treatment vessel; determining a desired minimum temperature of the dried biosolid material in the treatment vessel, wherein the minimum temperature is based on the desired determined residence time of the biosolid material in the treatment vessel; passing the dried biosolid material through the treatment vessel such that the actual residence time of the biosolid material in the treatment vessel is at least as long as the determined residence time; applying heat from a hot fluid to the dried biosolid material in the treatment vessel, if the actual temperature of the biosolid material is lower than the minimum temperature, and reducing pathogens in the biosolid material by maintaining the biosolid

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for processing wet material, in particular sewage sludge, having a plurality of drying stages. At least one high-temperature drying stage 2 and at least one low-temperature drying stage 10 are provided, wherein the waste heat of the at least one high-temperature drying stage 2 is used for heating the at least one low-temperature drying stage 10. Great savings in energy and economic efficiency can thereby be achieved. In addition, the invention relates to a plant for carrying out the process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for device for continuous drying of material, particularly sewage sludge, which has a belt 2, particularly a filter belt, on which the material is conveyed. It is characterised by a distribution screw 4 being mounted above the belt 2, particularly filter belt, at the inlet in order to feed the material onto the belt 2, particularly filter belt. In addition, the invention relates to a process for drying material, particularly sewage sludge, where the material is conveyed on a belt 2, particularly a filter belt, through a dryer 1, which process is characterised by the material being fed in through a distribution screw 4, where the level can be changed by altering the belt speed.

Abstract: The process for low-emission drying of a substance in a drum-type drying installation is suitable in particular for sewage sludge, fish meal and sludges from starch factories, soap factories and paper mills, which substances are preferably to be converted into granules. The process is likewise very suitable for drying biomass products such as wood chips, grass, sugar beet chips and the like, since the emissions are very greatly reduced by means of this process. The drying process is carried out in such a way that no unpleasant odors and dusts are emitted to the outside, because the actual drying circulation is closed. Fossil fuels are used as the heat source for the burner for heating this air stream.
