Plug and Play Thermal Dryer Systems for Municipal and Industrial Applications

A significant milestone for ANZ water sector, Hydroflux have released a cost effective, modular and pre-built thermal dryer system for smaller to medium sized wastewater treatment plants, for both municipal and industrial applications.

The pre-packaged design will allow Hydroflux to easily integrate the system into any wastewater treatment plant, as a turnkey package with full O+M delivery model options to suit customer needs.

Based on the larger well proven HUBER BT Belt Dryer design, the HPS® will use a similar two belt configuration that will include a heat pump, fans, heater/condenser and filter. The modules, equipment and controls/automation shall be fully assembled into structurally modified containers to facilitate easy integration into an existing wastewater treatment. Alternatively, the dryers can be installed into builds if that method is preferred.

“The HPS® dryer will suit many small to medium sized treatment plants around Australia and New Zealand and is also suited for industrial applications. HPS® will provide a further 70 – 75% volume reduction, leading to reduced transport costs and associated carbon emissions. No external heat source is required, and as a plug and play solution the HPS® is simple to integrate into existing wastewater treatment plants.  We can manage the entire integration including mechanical and electrical works, process commissioning and operational support.

We are currently delivering some larger dryer projects with HUBER SE of Germany that suit treatment plants that are sized for greater than 150,000 EP. HPS® has been developed by HUBER to suit municipal and industrial treatment plants were the population equivalent is less than 50,000 (or less than 3000 t/a of dewatered cake) meaning that smaller treatment plants can now have the benefit of thermal drying to reduce offsite disposal costs and the associated carbon footprint” says John Koumoukelis, CEO of Hydroflux.
