A solution for a treatment of bottom sludge from a log-soaking pond for separation of sand
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Nowadays in many countries legislation places stringent limits on the dumping of untreated sludge as land fill. One option for handling sludge is incineration. However, log-soaking bottom sludge contains a remarkable amount of sand, which hinders its use as fuel. This gives rise to the need for an appropriate means for separating sand from sludge. A pilot apparatus for the separation of sand from log-soaking bottom sludge was designed. The pilot apparatus consisted of a drum washer and gravity settling. The water consumption of the process was very low. The separation of sand was remarkable and the resulting sludge could be used in grate firing boilers after drying.
