Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (1) and method (100) for drying a residual product (12) from a foodstuff production process, the residual product containing between 20-50% dry substance. The method comprises the steps of producing a main foodstuff product (4) in the foodstuff production process (2); receiving the residual product continuously from the foodstuff production process; supplying the residual product to a mixer (30); supplying the mixed product (31) to a fluidized bed (40); supplying heated air (57) of between 60-150 degrees C. to the fluidized bed; drying the mixed product in the fluidized bed using the supplied heated air by shaking the mixed product; cooling the dried product; and extracting the dried product (42) from the fluidized bed, wherein a portion (62) of the dried product is supplied to the mixer to be mixed with received residual product (12).

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for processing sludge into sludge residue having a targeted dry solid concentration is provided. The method comprises a step of distributing (110) provided sludge for continuous transport in a specific form factor; cooling (120) the distributed sludge into a frozen state using a refrigerating medium; thawing (140) the frozen sludge using a first heating medium; drying (150) the thawed sludge to a targeted dry solid concentration, wherein at least one aspect of the method is controlled by a processing parameter, the method further comprising the step of monitoring (160) at least one processing parameter, and adjusting (170) at least one processing parameter with respect to a corresponding reference value based on said at least one sludge characteristic or user input to improve sludge processing.
