Notes:
A special combustion system comprising a drier, combustion unit and heat-recovery unit, designed to produce low-grade heat from high-moisture fuels, was investigated using sewage sludge, animal manure and energy crops as the feed material. Part of the investigation dealt with the development of a new method of combined wet pelletizing and surface drying of sludges to facilitate simple and efficient combustion as well as easy handling of the dried product. The investigation showed that (a) drying at temperatures up to at least 950° is feasible, and (b) low-temperature heat may be produced for space and water-heating purposes at high thermal efficiency.
