ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a process and apparatus for treating biogenic residues, particularly sludges, preferably in the area of a clarification plant. Biogenic residues with a variable dry substance are subjected to aerobic drying until an energy-independent thermal treatment can be carried out. During the drying process, evaporated water is discharged in an odor-free condition without releasing freely volatile components, the dried sludge is intermediately stored a number of times and then utilized in preferably a number of successive thermal treatment steps. The two-stage cleaning of the stream of waste gas includes a dust collection unit and an adsorption unit. The waste heat is recycled through a heat exchanger to generate heat and electricity. The apparatus for carrying out the process includes a wet sludge storage container (1), a low temperature drying system (2), storage containers (3, 5) for intermediate storage of the dried biogenic residues, and a thermal treatment system with one or more thermal treatment steps (7, 8). Cleaning of the flue gas takes place preferably by means of a primary cleaning step (10) and a secondary cleaning step (11) for adsorption, for example, with clarified water. Energy recovery (9) from the hot waste gas is ideally carried out before the flue gas cleaning.
