Core Working Principle
The Carbonization Furnace System adopts a low-temperature oxygen-deficient pyrolysis process, integrating drying, pyrolysis, carbonization, and solid-liquid separation into a seamless workflow. The process is precisely controlled to ensure thorough treatment of sludge and solid waste salt, while maximizing resource recovery:
1.Pre-Treatment Stage: Sludge (moisture content 80–90%) is first dewatered to reduce moisture content to 50–60%, then crushed into uniform particles. Solid waste salt is sorted to remove large impurities and mixed with a small amount of auxiliary materials to prevent agglomeration. This pre-treatment optimizes the carbonization effect, shortens the treatment cycle, and reduces energy consumption.
2.Low-Temperature Carbonization Stage: The pre-treated sludge or solid waste salt is continuously fed into the Carbonization Furnace System, which operates in an oxygen-deficient environment (oxygen content <5%). Under controlled temperature (300–800℃, adjustable according to waste type), the material undergoes pyrolysis and carbonization: organic components in sludge are decomposed into carbon-rich biochar, while moisture and volatile harmful substances (such as ammonia nitrogen, VOCs) are volatilized as pyrolysis gas. For solid waste salt, the carbonization process removes organic impurities and stabilizes heavy metals, converting the salt into inert, non-leaching solid particles.
3.Pyrolysis Gas Treatment & Energy Reuse: The pyrolysis gas generated during carbonization (mainly composed of combustible gases such as methane, hydrogen, and CO) is collected, purified, and burned in a secondary combustion chamber (temperature ≥1100℃) to completely eliminate harmful components. The heat generated by combustion is recycled to heat the Carbonization Furnace System, realizing energy self-sufficiency and reducing auxiliary fuel consumption. The treated flue gas undergoes dust removal, desulfurization, and denitrification to meet international emission standards before discharge.
4.Product Collection & Resource Utilization: After carbonization, the solid products are cooled and sorted. Sludge is converted into high-quality biochar (carbon content ≥60%), which can be reused as soil amendment, activated carbon raw material, or fuel. Solid waste salt is converted into stable, non-toxic inert salt, which can be recycled as industrial raw material or safely landfilled. The entire process achieves zero wastewater discharge and minimal solid waste residue, realizing resource reuse and harmless treatment.
Key Product Advantages
1.Specialized for Sludge & Solid Waste Salt: Optimized design for sludge (municipal, industrial) and solid waste salt (chemical waste salt, saline sludge, fly ash salt), effectively solving the pain points of high moisture, odor, heavy metal leaching, and difficult degradation. It can handle materials with moisture content up to 90% (after dewatering) and salt content up to 80%.
2.Harmless & Low Secondary Pollution: Oxygen-deficient low-temperature carbonization avoids dioxin generation (dioxins form at 250–400℃ in oxygen-rich environments) and heavy metal volatilization. No wastewater is generated, and flue gas is treated up to standard. The final products (biochar, inert salt) are non-toxic and stable, eliminating secondary pollution risks.
3.High Resource Utilization Rate: Sludge is converted into valuable biochar (reusable for soil improvement, fuel, or activated carbon), and solid waste salt is recycled as industrial raw material—turning waste into resources. The pyrolysis gas is recycled for energy, realizing energy self-sufficiency and reducing operating costs.
4.Significant Volume Reduction: Sludge volume is reduced by 70–85% after carbonization, and solid waste salt volume is reduced by 60–75%, greatly reducing transportation and landfill costs. The dewatered sludge (50–60% moisture) is directly carbonized, saving the cost of further drying.
5.Energy-Saving & Cost-Effective: Recycled pyrolysis gas provides 60–80% of the heat required for carbonization, reducing auxiliary fuel consumption by 50% compared with traditional thermal treatment. The system has low long-term operational costs, with a short investment recovery period of 3–5 years.
6.Stable & Durable Operation: The furnace body is made of high-temperature-resistant, corrosion-resistant alloy steel and refractory materials, suitable for long-term treatment of high-salt, corrosive materials. It adopts advanced sealing technology to prevent gas leakage, with a service life of ≥15 years and low failure rate.
7.Intelligent & Automatic Control: Equipped with a PLC intelligent control system, it automatically adjusts temperature, pressure, feeding speed, and oxygen content. Key parameters are real-time monitored and recorded (for ≥3 years), with fault alarm and automatic protection functions, supporting 24-hour unattended operation and remote monitoring.
8.Compact & Flexible Design: Modular integrated design, small footprint, suitable for both new projects and old factory renovations. Processing capacity ranges from 1–50 tpd, and the design can be customized according to the type, moisture, and salt content of the treated waste, adapting to different regional environmental requirements.
9.Global Compliance: Fully complies with ISO 21912:2021, EU, US EPA, and regional emission standards. We provide customized solutions to meet the specific treatment requirements of different countries and regions, helping customers smoothly pass environmental inspections and avoid penalties.
