How It Works

Stircor’s equipment package delivers a complete, integrated drying system engineered to meet stringent performance, safety, and environmental standards.

Precision Biosolids Feed System

The process begins with a controlled feed system that meters 10–15 tons per hour of biosolids at 75–80% moisture, ensuring consistent dryer loading and optimal residence time.

  • Maintains steady-state throughput
  • Prevents surges that disrupt thermal balance
  • Ensures predictable process performance

Direct-Fired, Parallel Flow Dryer

The heart of the system is a direct-fired, parallel-flow dryer — a design known for the best heat-transfer efficiency of any biosolids drying configuration.

  • Biosolids and hot gases move in the same direction
  • Stable thermal gradients minimize material scorching
  • Achieves Class A dryness in a single pass

Venturi Scrubbing System for Emissions & Odor Control

Exhaust air passes through a Venturi scrubber engineered to meet the most stringent particulate standards.

  • Efficient particulate removal
  • Integrated odor elimination capability
  • Supports compliance with local air-quality requirements

Dried Material Discharge & Optional Cooling

Dried material exits through a controlled discharge system that produces granular, uniform biosolids suitable for handling, storage, transport, or beneficial use.

  • Granular texture reduces bridging, clumping, and moisture rebound
  • Optional cooling prevents auto-ignition and increases operator safety

Optional Thermal Oxidizer

Facilities requiring additional VOC destruction can integrate a thermal oxidizer prior to exhaust discharge.

  • Ideal when upstream digestion does not sufficiently reduce volatiles
  • Ensures compliance with advanced emissions standards

Centralized PLC Control & Monitoring

All equipment systems — feed, dryer, air handling, discharge — are operated through a single control center.

  • Real-time temperature, airflow, and feed monitoring
  • Automated interlocks for complete system safety
  • Comprehensive data recording for operational transparency

Dried Biosolids Loadout

The system includes a loadout configuration designed for truck or roll-off filling, providing a clean, efficient transfer of dried material for agricultural, landscaping, or disposal pathways.
