TURNING WASTE INTO ENERGY: HOW ESSER PIPES ARE POWERING THE FUTURE OF SLUDGE MANAGEMENT

There is no pretty way to put it – modern society is producing a lot of waste! If it is not processed correctly, it is very harmful to our environment.

As global populations have grown, more untreated wastewater has been released into rivers and streams, overwhelming their natural ability to clean it and leading to severe pollution. Wastewater treatment systems later improved water quality, but created a new issue: sewage sludge. This byproduct, made of organic, mineral, and water-based materials, needed proper disposal.

To mechanically convey dewatered sewage sludge with a high dry matter content, reliable piping systems are necessary. When conveyed hydraulically, the slurry is transported with the help of high-pressure pumps. Due to the length of pipelines and conditions in the processing facilities, pipeline components must withstand operating pressures of up to 130 bar. Due to the toxic nature of the sludge, operators of these facilities pay great attention to wear-resistance and reliability of conveyance systems.

In its dry form, sewage sludge can be used to generate electricity and heat. Unfortunately, this sludge typically contains mineral components and other abrasive materials, such as sand. These materials cause pipes made of simple steel to wear out quickly. This can cause leaks and loss of pressure, which can quickly shut down a treatment system.

ESSER TWIN PIPES, with a hardened inner liner of up to 63 HRC, can withstand these pressures and abrasive materials to ensure safe and long operation. ESSER pipe coupling systems have been tried and tested over many years. We can confidently ensure that your pipeline meets the highest international quality and safety standards and that your operations run safely and economically for a long time.
