Description

LIFE DRY4GAS proposes an innovative and highly replicable solution for the management and reuse of sewage sludge generated by wastewater treatment plants. It will develop a pilot plant to dry the sludge for use in energy generation, the construction industry and agriculture. The plant will incorporate a solar drying system and a thermochemical gasification process to dry the sludge and recover 120 MWh/year of energy by means of an organic Rankine cycle. The project will also evaluate the reuse of gasification ashes mixed with sewage sludge to make a better quality agricultural additive and study ways of reusing the ashes in the construction industry. The pilot plant will be built at an existing wastewater treatment plant in Torrepacheco, Murcia. This produces 2 200 tMH/year of sludge.
