Based on the Innodry® 2E dryer, the EvaporisTM LE is a complete process for
treating dewatered sludge with unique performance advantages.

Evaporis™ LE technology . . .
The last stage in sludge treatment after thickening and dewatering, At the end of the line, the “spaghetti” is routed to the belt dryer
EvaporisTM LE accepts all types of dewatered sludge (UWW, IWW, etc.) where hot air circulation removes the humidity and extracts water
with the particularity of accepting a wide range of sludge dryness (18% via exchangers. For greater safety during crushing and conveying of
to 35%) and very different qualities. Working on the principle of energy the granules to the storage silos, the sludge is cooled directly before
recovery, the system is comprised of several stages, including two real leaving the dryer, to a temperature of 35 to 40°C. This low temperature
drying stages, consisting of a thin layer dryer (indirect dryer) and a belt prohibits the development of any auto-heating.

upstream dryer, restituted via a condenser. High granule density without pelletization: this sludge shaping during
its plastic phase (45 to 50% dryness) has many unique advantages
The dryer is supplied from a storage module with a built-in feed to in terms of operating simplicity and safety as well as reducing

. . . what it can do for you
savings
}} helps to reduce your energy consumption by
almost one third through its built-in energy
recovery
}} minimizes storage and transport costs through
the optimal the reduction of volume leaving the
safety process (about 20 to 30% through the high-
density of dried sludge without a pelletizer)
}} optimal operating safety and comfort
}} total absence of dust
}} eliminates the pelletization stage and its
associated risks
}} dried sludge cooling built into the dryer environment
}} equipment not subject to ATEX regulations }} very economical in primary energy (700 against
1000 kWh per ton of water evaporated)
}} limits the emission of greenhouse gases
}} perfect control of olfactory nuisance through the
system of air circulation in a closed loop
ease of operation
P-B-014-EN-1603
}} fast start up and fully automatic process
}} maintenance reduced to the strict minimum and
optimal long life of the equipment (low wear rate)
}} perfect adaptability in terms of feed (accepts
all types of sludge, wide range of dryness) and
installation (several lines can be installed in
parallel to meet all needs)
