Advantages of an ENCON Slurry Dryer

  • Can handle different waste streams simultaneously
  • Can handle very challenging and complex waste streams
  • Dramatically reduces disposal volume & cost
  • Eliminates sewer discharge accountability
  • Achieve ZLD
  • Safe to operate 24/7
  • Low operating costs
  • Requires less operator intervention than most wastewater treatment technologies
  • Very effective for process stream concentration

The ideal solution for drying liquid solutions and/or sludge

Achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)

The ENCON Slurry Dryer is engineered to handle liquid solutions in addition to high solids sludges, which makes it an ideal solution for many industrial processes as the solids content of the wastewater generated is often variable. Designed for maximum flexibility, the ENCON Slurry Dryer can operate as an evaporator in addition to a dryer, and can process up to 50 gallons per hour in evaporation mode. Need somethging smaller?

  • Eliminates the need to discharge wastewater
  • High-torque, low speed mixing paddle promotes homogeneous drying and prevents moisture cavities
  • Can be utilized as a stand-alone single step system for evaporating and drying wastewater or sludge, or implement as the final step in your ZLD process.

Features

slurry dryer - feature 1-1

Mist Eliminator System

The stainless mesh filter is designed for easy removal from its compression fit housing. The system is monitored for contaminant loading and airflow, which is interfaced to the control panel for maximum operator feedback.
slurry dryer - feature 2

PLC Control Panel

NEMA 4 control panel with Allen Bradley PLC and EXOR eSmart touch screen HMI provides graphical representation of the process status. Intuitive operator interface with advanced functionality such as datalogging, trends, system diagnostics and user management.
slurry dryer - feature 3

Heavy Duty Mixing Paddle

Heavy duty industrial mixing paddle with high torque motor ensures homogeneous drying of the slurry.  All wetted components, including the mixing paddle, are fabricated with corrosion resistant materials based on the application. Mixing paddle is supported by steel frame designed for industrial applications.
slurry dryer - feature 4

Built-in Ethernet Port

Every control panel has a network switch, which allows for easy troubleshooting of the system by ENCON personnel. This also facilitates lloT and system integration capabilities. The PLC can be seamlessly interfaced with any industrial network that supports EthernetIP or Modbus TCP/IP protocol.

Process Description

3102550 8-13-18 cropped
1
Initial Fill
  1. Slurry or sludge is pumped or gravity fed into the Slurry Dryer until the Auto Level Probe is covered.
  2. Thermal oil begins circulating through the jacket of the dryer vessel and the PLC energizes the thermal oil heater and slurry mixing paddle.
2
Evaporation
  1. The slurry is heated to a boil and water is driven off as vapor.
  2. As the water vapor is driven off, the liquid level will gradually fall below the Auto Level Probe.  After a set time period, the system will refill itself up to the Auto Level Probe.
  3. This process will continue until either the timed cycle end-point or high slurry temperature set-point is reached.
3
Drying
  1. The auto-fill sequence is disabled and the slurry continues to be heated and mixed until adequate moisture is removed.
  2. Upon reaching final slurry dryness target, the system is ready to be discharged into a disposal container positioned below the Slurry Dryer tank.
