Sludge Treatment System

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2405M06] BLUEWIN CO., LTD. is an EPC manufacturing group for all kinds of sludge treatment processes.
With over 40 years of experience in over 60 countries and know-how of customers’ networks and field experience, BLUEWIN has been able to provide timely delivery of optimal products at optimal prices to meet the needs of customers locally and overseas.
Sludge generated from public sewage and factory wastewater is also not buried or incinerated. Sludge with calories is produced with up to 90% DS, mixed with sawdust and hay, and compressed to produce pellet fuel, and it can be used as a renewable energy source with high calorific value (2,500-3,500 kcal/kg).

If about 20~25%ds dehydrated from the 1st-stage mechanical dewatering machines such as beltpress, filterpress, screwpress, centrifuge, vacuumpress, and volute screwpress are reclaimed or incinerated as they are, then it results in high treatment costs and serious secondary environmental pollution.
However, if it is reduced to 80-90%ds and dried, high-quality renewable energy can be produced – and secondary environmental pollution can be reduced by more than 99%.

ELODE+NVD combination system
This system can process 80~90%ds in the shortest time with the lowest OPEX and CAPEX cost. It is simple and compact, allowing large-capacity processing in a small space.
It does not require as much space or maintenance costs as a rotary dryer, film dryer, low temp dryer, and thermal dryer. ELODE+NVD with the best competitiveness is now the latest trend.
The earlier you choose, the faster your ROI will surely be. If sludge of 20% ds per day is processed at $100/ton, 30 tons/day will require expenditure of more than US$1mil per year – but if ELODE+NVD is installed, such costs can be reduced by more than 90% and the initial purchase cost can be recovered within 24 months.
ELODE+NVD is not supplied directly to end users. It must be provided and managed through the sole agent only. Those who wish to become a sole agent only need to purchase EODS-500. If you become a sole agent, you will be invited to Korea for 15 days to complete pre-training.

Performing high-filtration linear velocity
The tubular pre-coated filter (K-TTF) requires a compact installation area (approximately 1/4 of its existing technology), compared to the conventional pressurized filters and horizontal pressure & multi-layer composite filters. It is an excellent product that provides filtration linear velocity of 5 to 6.25 m/hr.
In order to improve filtration performance, the filter medium is coated in advance – and after the filter operation is performed, the contaminants and the filter medium on the surface of the filter tube are removed through desorption, and the filter operation is performed again. The filter medium has the advantage of being reusable.
In addition, if the filtration efficiency is not recovered through the desorption process, the filtration efficiency can be recovered through backwashing, which is excellent in terms of management efficiency, as it takes just 10 minutes once per week.

Portable Small-sized Desalination Machine

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2405M01] A portable small desalination machine that can produce fresh water with a small amount of power in underdeveloped countries was introduced at the 2024 World IT Show.
According to the CEO of Solarinno, the capacitive deionization (CDI) type of portable desalination device was developed to be carried and used by NGOs and international cooperation organizations working in underdeveloped countries.
The CDI device features technology that removes salt from salty water by using electricity. The sodium and chlorine ions in the salt water are moved to the negative and positive electrodes, respectively, so that only fresh water ultimately escapes. It ensures higher energy efficiency than existing filter or distillation-based desalination technologies.
Currently, the multi-stage distillation method, which desalinizes seawater by turning it into steam, and the reverse osmosis method, which uses a separation membrane to obtain pure water, require a lot of cost for operation and installation and have low energy efficiency.

The CEO continued, “It is a method of creating fresh water by adsorbing ions using electrical attraction, but the power consumption is low. With power consumption of 50 watts (W), approximately one ton (t) of fresh water can be produced per day.” This is similar to the power consumption of an incandescent light bulb (40~100W) or an electric fan (45~60W).
“Even small-sized solar panels can work,” he added, “We received a positive response at WETEX, an environmental technology exhibition, held in Dubai last year, and at this year’s CES in the USA ― and we are looking for sponsors such as large corporations and international cooperation organizations who will work with us as an aid business concept.”
The CEO concluded by saying, “Even if we cannot find a sponsor, we will proceed with the project focusing on technology development,” adding, “We plan to start mass production in the second half of this year at the latest and supply to underdeveloped countries such as Senegal, Kenya, and Ethiopia.”
