Heliantis™ Solar Sludge Drying Brochure

Heliantis™ transforms any type of dewatered sludge (minimum dry content: 15%) into a dry, granulated product with a dry-solids content that can be adjusted within a range of 35% to 85%. Using the sun as the main energy source, the sludge is dried in a greenhouse and a scarifiying machine turns over and breaks up the sludge into carbon-neutral and odorless granules, for eventual agricultural reuse or thermal energy production using co-incineration.

• Dewatered sludge is brought directly to the greenhouse as it is produced
• The rotary scarifier repeatedly turns the sludge, breaking it into granules and gradually moving it forward to the exit;
• As the sludge bed is heated by the sun, the water it contains evaporates
• The moist air is evacuated to maintain optimum moisture levels in the greenhouse
