The invention relates to a rake
drying method for
drying sludge by the utilization of high-temperature
flue gas and a device thereof.
Sludge drying is a
sludge disposal method, and the level of
energy consumption during the drying process relates directly to the operation cost of
sludge drying. Therefore, according to the invention, high-temperature
flue gas generated from an incinerator is directly used for drying sludge, thus greatly reducing the operation cost of sludge drying. The method comprises the following steps of: allowing high-temperature
flue gas to enter from a drying medium inlet (4) at one end of a sludge rake drier, allowing wet sludge to enter from a sludge inlet (3) at the same end to operate together with the high-temperature
flue gas, letting the wet sludge in the sludge rake drier directly contact with the hot
flue gas so as to realize the drying process, crushing massive sludge and pushing the sludge towards the other end of the sludge rake drier from the inlet by the use of a rake teeth (10) part, allowing the dried sludge to leave the sludge rake drier together with the
flue gas from a drying medium outlet (7), letting the dried sludge to enter a gas-
solid separator in a subsequent
system, further utilizing the collected dry sludge, and discharging the dedusted flue gas into the
atmosphere from a
chimney.
