After the dewatering treatment, the material entering the drying treatment unit is further stabilized, reduced, and reaches a dry biogas residue product that meets the hygiene standards, which can be used as a material for land use.

[0093] In the present application, the excess energy balance of the sludge and organic waste co-processing system can be realized in the form of an excess gas combustion tower and the condensate discharge of waste heat utilization.
[0094] In the present application, the tail gas and the steam condensate water can be recovered and the waste heat of the superheated steam in the second steam pipeline of the sludge drying device is input, which accounts for 50-60% of the total heat energy of the superheated steam input in the second steam pipeline; the available net heat energy of the synergistic anaerobic pre-reaction tank accounts for about 25-35% of the total heat energy of the superheated steam input in the second steam pipeline in the heating and drying process, so that the heat energy balance of the whole system can be realized, and the system can be designed to realize automatic operation through self-learning feedback control.
[0095] In the present application, the treatment process of the dried sludge is conventional disinfection and sterilization in the art, and finally forms a mixture of organic solids and inorganic solids, and water.
[0096] On the basis of common sense in the art, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily, that is, to obtain each preferred example of the present application.
[0097] The reagents and raw materials used in the present application are commercially available.
[0098] The positive progress effect of the present application is:
[0099] ①The present application can realize volume reduction and weight reduction by removing water from sludge, so as to achieve reduction, and the finally obtained dried sludge meets the health requirements of national standards and international industry, realizes stabilization, and at the same time realizes the treatment goals of harmlessness and resource utilization.
[0100] ②The system and method of the present application utilize machinery and heat to adjust and treat the mixed materials of the feed, realize slurry of the materials, provide uniform, good rheological property and high reaction efficiency of the slurry for anaerobic digestion, and further improve biogas production capacity, reduce stirring energy consumption, avoid the production of upper scum in the anaerobic digestion tank, and obtain higher gas production rate in a shorter anaerobic reaction time.
[0101] ③It is difficult to realize heat energy balance by separately carrying out sludge anaerobic treatment and then drying, and it is difficult to realize long-term stable operation by separately carrying out anaerobic digestion of organic waste; the present application utilizes low-carbon synergistic treatment of sludge and organic waste, realizes stable production and self-sufficiency of heat energy, has surplus biogas production capacity under the condition of sufficient and stable supply of organic waste, and realizes further energy utilization through natural gas production by biogas purification or biogas power generation, and realizes efficient treatment and balance of heat energy.

[0158] Effects of embodiments 1-4
[0159] The co-treatment method of sludge and organic waste described in Examples 1-4 was adopted. The organic matter content of the raw materials was required to be ≥60%, and the solids content was required to be ≤15%. Equipment sizes were used under operating conditions a, b, c, and d, with an organic matter content of 60% and a solids content of 15%. The average processing capacity of the system for the raw materials under different equipment sizes was calculated, and the biogas production under each operating condition was estimated. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0160] Table 1
[0161]
[0162] Table 1 shows the treatment results of sludge and waste under different operating conditions using any of the methods in Examples 1-4, which can cover the vast majority of application scenarios.
[0163] Using the system and method of this invention, when the average processing capacities are 4 tTS / d, 8 tTS / d, 12 tTS / d, and 16 tTS / d (where tTS / d refers to the tons of solid waste processed per day), the biogas production can reach 960 Nm³. 3 1920 Nm 3 2880 Nm 3 3840 Nm 3 That's all. Furthermore, in step S4, the resulting dried sludge has a moisture content of less than 25% and a solids content of 75% or higher, meeting national standards and international industry hygiene requirements.
[0164] In addition, by recovering the drying tail steam and the steam condensate, and passing the waste heat after superheated steam heat exchange into the second steam pipe of the sludge drying equipment, the waste heat accounts for 50-60% of the total heat energy input by the superheated steam in the second steam pipe; the usable net heat energy of the synergistic anaerobic pre-reaction tank accounts for about 25-35% of the total heat energy input by the superheated steam in the second steam pipe during the heating and drying process, so that the heat energy balance of the whole system can be achieved. The system can be designed with self-learning feedback control to achieve automated operation.
[0165] Comparative Example 1
[0166] The comparative example treats sludge and kitchen waste, with the same composition as in Example 1. It employs conventional dry anaerobic digestion (raw material solids content 20%~40%), simply mixing the materials before anaerobic digestion. The retention time in the mesophilic anaerobic digester is typically designed to be 25-35 days; in actual production, after exceeding 35 days, the gas production rate is approximately 0.3 Nm³. 3 / kgVS.
[0167] Comparative Example 2
[0168] The treatment object of the present comparative example is municipal sludge, and a conventional wet mesophilic anaerobic digestion (raw material solid content of 10% to 15%) is adopted. The treatment object is simply mixed and then subjected to anaerobic digestion, and the residence time required for achieving a gas production rate of 0.3 Nm 3 / kgVS is 22 days.
[0169] In comparison, after sludge slurry is liquefied, the organic matter gas production rate of the present application can reach 0.4-0.6 Nm 3 / kgVS when the residence time of mesophilic anaerobic digestion is 22 days, or the gas production rate reaches 0.3 Nm 3 / kgVS, and the residence time only needs to be about 15 days.
[0170] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any ordinary skilled person in the art can make changes, substitutions or combinations within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
