Abstract

Thanks to energy transition policy, the production and use of solid refused fuels (SRFs) using organic waste attracts a great deal of attention. In this study,, bio-drying was applied to improving the economic feasibility of drying sewage sludge. Due to sewage sludge characteristics such as high moisture and viscosity, a bulking agent is required during the drying process. Therefore, this studyused food waste compost as a bulking agent and suggested the optimal compost mixing ratio and airflow conditions for bio-drying.
