Drying of Municipal Sewage Sludge: from a Laboratory Scale Batch Indirect Dryer to the Paddle Dryer

Among available technologies, disk and paddle dryers are often encountered in France to process municipal sewage sludge but their thermal design is still a question of know how rather than scientific knowledge. From experiments performed on an industrial Naratherm paddle dryer and the literature, a simple model has been developed. The dryer is divided into two parts depending on the sludge cons...

Fuzzy modelling for a rotary dryer

In this research a fuzzy model is developed for a rotary dryer. It is applied to the pilot plant rotary dryer located in the Control Engineering Laboratory at Oulu University. Firstly, a literature review looking at the current situation of fuzzy modelling and comparison of different methods is done. One modelling method is then applied to the building of the model from data. The rule parameter...
