Eco-Founder Dryers

Digestate

Eco-Founder has developed a concept for using the residual heat at biogas installations.

Poultry manure

With the help of the Eco-Founder Dryer, poultry manure can be dried and converted either into organic fertilizer or fuel.

Sludge

Residual heat can be used throughout the year for drying sewage sludge.

Manure

Part of the humidity in the manure can be removed through the drying process. The volume can be reduced to 1/10 of the original volume of the manure.

Wood and sawdust

Throughout the year our dryers use residual heat (for instance from electricity generation) for drying wood chips and sawdust.

Biomass

Through a drying process, moisture can be largely removed from biomass. The result is a reduction in the weight of the biomass.

Digestate

Eco-Founder has developed a Dryer that makes it possible for the client to use
the residual heat at biogas installations during the entire year in a highly cost-effective way
Amongst others uses, the Eco-Founder Dryer can be used for drying digestate.
The drying installation replaces the emergency cooler in case of a biogas installation,
in a way that electricity consumption hardly rises. In order to prevent dust from being generated, the airflow through the product is kept extremely low.
When drying digestate, it is also necessary to clean the air. 

Possibilities for using dried digestate

Poultry Manure

Drying poultry manure, and converting it into organic fertilizer or fuel,
throughout the whole year, is made possible with the help of the Eco-Founder Dryer.
 The required warm air for the drying process is either derived from stable air,
or using residual heat from the generation of electricity.
the higher the temperature and the lower the air humidity, the better the drying process will be.
Dried poultry manure is an excellent and frequently used plant nutrient,
both in a dried form and as a pellet.

Eco-Founder dryers are frequently used for drying poultry manure with the help
of warm air from stables. The utilized air usually has a temperature of approximately 20°C,
which is sufficient for drying the produced manure without pre-drying process, 
so that electricity usage and costs remain rather low.
It is also important to know that the Eco-Founder drying system
uses technology that limits fine particle and ammonia emissions.

Sludge

Residual heat can be used throughout the year for drying sewage sludge.
Drying sludge may provide a solution to the difficulties for water treatment stations
posed by sewage sludge deposits. 
Eco-Founder has practical experience with the drying of sewage sludge 
and recycling it into fuel in a sustainable and cost-effective way.
In order to reduce odour emissions, we often provide Eco-Founder Biologic Air Washers
together with our sludge dryers. These can be simply installed
or delivered with the equipment.

Possibilities for using
dried sewage sludge

Dried sewage sludge can be used as a fuel or biosolids.

Drying sewage sludge with a Eco-Founder Dryer, may achieve almost 90% of dry matter content (Compaired to 20% dry matter content that remains after dewatering)

Manure

Eco-Founder has many years of experience in drying (liquid) manure.
The warm air which is required for this process can be supplied by using either farmhouse air
or residual heat from the generation of electricity.
Part of the humidity in the manure can be removed through the drying process.
Drying liquid manure with Eco-Founder dryers,
and reducing its volume to 1/10 of the original volume,
helps to reduce both the processing and transport costs.
The dried end product is a good nutrient for plants since it still contains many minerals.

Wood and sawdust

Eco-Founder dryers can dry wood chips and sawdust

Eco-Founder has a lot of experience in drying wood chips and sawdust all year long
using residual heat from electricity generation.
The dryed wood is less sensitive to natural harmful effects
and therefor may increase the combustion value and lower the storage costs
This is also a frequently used pre-treatment in wood gasification,
or for processing wood into briquettes, panels and similar products.

Several different units can be installed together with the dryer,
such as an air cleaning system and a heat recuperation system.

Biomass

By using Eco-Founder Dryers to remove most of the moisture from biomass
and by that to reduce its weight, our customers get lower processing,
storing and trasporting costs. 
Depending on the properties of the biomass that needs to be dried,
the end product can be used as a plant nutrient or as a fuel.
It is possible to dry almost any organic waste stream.
Eco-Founder has much experience with drying different kinds of  biomass materials,
such as grass, compost, fats and food residues.

Warm stable air or air heated in another way is used for the operetion of a conveyor belt dryer.
