Dried Biosolid Applications

BiosolidsBiosolid pellets are formed by drying sewage sludge to make an organic fertilizer. The pellets must be cooled before they are conveyed to storage bins to prevent smoldering and combustion.
The Solex SIGMA series cooler has been used to cool dried biosolids since 1992, with units supplied worldwide.
