drying capacity in all of Europe.

The process of drying starts after the sludge from the sewage treatment
facility, enters the DDS system. The evaporation capacity of the system is
approximately 10,000 kg of water per hour <strong>and</strong> line while almost 350000 tons of
sludge can be treated in the plant every year. The dried sludge is used as a high
calorific value fuel. heating of the plant is almost exclusively done with off-heat
from a gas-turbine <strong>and</strong> the biogas produced in the sewage system. The final
product is 90% dry. The offgas from the drying system is treated in a thermal
post-treatment station, where odours <strong>and</strong> harmful substances are removed.
