Conception, modélisation et évaluation environnementale d'un procédé de valorisation de boues organiques en combustibles solides

TL;DRAbstract

Fry-drying is an alternative for heat and mass transfer intensification. The process re-uses waste oil as a heating medium for drying by contact with the wet sludge. The fry-dried product is a granular solid fuel with high heating value. The product is sterile, stored, and transported safely. Experimental procedure and theoretical investigation have to provide basic information for the process design, in terms of energy and environment. A kinetic model of frying is proposed for water loss and oil intake. The model has been fitted to the data obtained by a weighing method on sludge cylinders (4-12 mm diameter) at an oil temperature ranging from 110°C to 140°C. The drying time between 10 and 20 min is effective in a continuous dryer. The global energy balance has enabled the calculation of a convective heat transfer coefficient. The results show that convection is boiling flow dependent. The study suggests a dimensionless correlation involving the normalized boiling flux, thermal oil pro
