Description |
Considerable increases in industrial and urban wastewater sludge generation in recent years require proper treatment, such as thermal drying, and disposal. The sludge drying is a complex process involving simultaneous and coupled heat and mass transfer, which can be modeled by taking into account mass and heat balances, and assuming that water diffuses according to kinetic laws. This research implemented a simulation model for biosludge drying processes to predict the temperature and moisture distribution inside the biosludge, using the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation program v5.2. A parametric analysis was carried out to determine the effect of initial moisture content on biosludge final temperature and moisture reduction. The simulated temperature and moisture content were experimentally validated and good agreement was observed between the simulation and experimental results. This model is a useful tool to optimize the drying process and develop better strategies for the control of the system.
