슬러지 공기건조장치는 외기로부터 공기를 흡입/송풍하여 이젝터(Ejector) 및 다단 사이클론(Multi-Cyclone)에서 슬러지를 건조하는 시스템이다. 즉 공기건조장치는 외기의 조건에 따라 시스템 성능 변화가 클 뿐 아니라 개루프(Open-Loop) 구조로 되어 있어 에너지 소모량이 큰 단점이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 공기건조장치의 분리기 후단에 응축기(Condenser), 냉각기(Cooler), 압축기(Compressor)로 구성된 제습기를 장착하여 송풍-건조-제습-송풍으로 순환하는 폐루프(Closed-Loop) 공기건조 기술을 개발하였다. 기존의 공기건조와 비교하여 본 기술의 특성을 비교 분석한 결과, 본 시스템의 공기는 외기에 비하여 약 50% 이상의 에너지를 더 많이 함유하고 있었다. 또한 공기가 시스템 내에서 순환하기 때문에 슬러지 건조에 공급하는 공기의 질을 일정하게 유지할 수 있어 시스템을 안정적으로 운용할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다. 그리고 경제성을 분석한 결과, 폐루프 공기건조장치를 이용하여 슬러지 1톤을 건조하는데 소요되는 비용은 기존의 건조장치에 비하여 약 35% 절감되는 것으로 파악되었다. 따라서 본 기술은 에너지 소모량이 적고, 일정한 품질의 공기를 송풍할 수 있어 시스템의 안정적으로 운전할 수 있는 기술로 평가된다.

The purpose of this study is to develop the non-gravity fluidized dryer. In this non-gravity fluidized dryer the fluidized zone is produced by two paddles in mixer, which maximizes the surface area of materials and then heated air through the guiding panels dehumidify them. This can conduct the drying process quickly and control moisture contents to lower limits. The ventilation system is closed loop system, which can be changeable to open system, and can be used as a multi-purposed dryer in which mixing, drying, granulating and cooling process is conducted. In order to develop the non-gravity fluidized dryer, in the first fundamental experiments were performed to mixing accuracy and then the other parts of dryer and control system were examined to check whether they were designed properly and operated harmoniously with mixer. Also the preparatory experiments were fulfilled to examine the efficiency and reliability of the dryer. Lastly, on the basis of preparatory experiments, performance test for the non-gravity fluidized dryer carried out for the variation of the initial moisture contents, desired moisture contents, heated air velocity and heating temperature.
