Steam based systems are known for thermal pressure hydrolysis (TPH) of sludge. For some operators of wwtp’s, steam based systems are not preferred, for operating, safety and maintenance reasons. In addition capital costs of steam based TPH systems are high for small and medium sized wwtp’s. Lysotherm® is an innovative patented system for the thermal hydrolysis of organic sludge, in particular sewage sludge, without the use of steam.
Lysotherm® is a newly developed THP system designed for small scale and large scale wwtp’s. The technology is based on in-house knowledge and construction of heatexchangers. The Lysotherm® allows continuous operation, is based on the indirect heating of sludge with two heating circuits. A closed regenerative water circuit to pre-heat and after-cool the sludge, a thermal oil circuit with heat recovered from the CHP. No steam is used.
The working principle of the Lysotherm® sludge hydrolysis and full scale results is presented. Its special design enables effective, efficient and reliable hydrolysis of the sludge.
The Biosolids conference attracts the most authoritative global experts in the area of biosolids and organic resource handling, treatment and recycling. The programme covers both the latest innovations and updates of existing technologies. Presentations from respected industry experts and newcomers follow the development of technologies and legislation from inception to full-scale installations.
The conference regularly gathers over 200 delegates from all over Europe, many of them return every year both for the technical presentations and fantastic networking opportunities.
Regular conference themes include:
• Thickening and Dewatering
• Modelling Sludge Handling and Utilisation
• Commissioning and Operating Experiences with Thermal Hydrolysis
• Tackling Potential Odour Problems
• Operating Experiences and Potential Problems in Digester Operation
• Ensuring Optimum Energy Recovery from Biogas
• Liquor Treatment and P Removal
• Alternative Products from Sludge
• Enhancing the Value of Biosolids and Digestate
• Pathogens and Pollutants In Digestate
• Sharing Experiences
