(DK9101734-A)      The drained slurry is mixed with a burnable carrier material which has a water content of 60 to 80%. In this way, a crumbly product is obtained which is then fed to the drying drum in direct connection with the burner. This causes a momentary evapn. of the water content, and the mixing product is impelled pneumatically and mechanically through the drum for sepn. in a cyclone. The product is finally ground and pelletised for producing fuel for burning in conjunction with coal in large combustion installations.    USE -   To dry slurry for making fuel pellets.    (EP549861-A3)      Manufacturing a fuel prod. comprises drying a drained sludge which prior to the drying is mixed with an inflammable material to a composite prod., which is dried to a desired dry matter content by heating. The process is improved by triturating the inflammable material before it is mixed with the sludge. Then, the composite prod. is crumbled and is introduced into the drying plant in the immediate vicinity of its heating means and the composite prod. is conveyed mechanically and pneumatically through the drying plant, and the dried composite prod. is finally formed as a fuel prod..    Pref., the drained sludge is mixed with an inflammable material which has a lower water content than the sludge. The dried composite prod. is ground and pelletised. The sludge and the inflammable material are mixed in vol. ratio between sludge and material from approx. 1:6 to approx. 1:2 and pref. in a vol. ratio of approx. 1:4. The drying is effected at a temp. up to approx. 500-1100 deg.C. The composite prod. is dried to a water content of approx. 4-12% pref. approx. 7.5%. Pref., the material is chosen among biological materials such as waste wood in the form of sawdust or wood chips, triturated recycled paper, cut straw, cleaning of grain, peat mulch and similar materials.    ADVANTAGE -   Provides an alternative removal of sludge by making the drained sludge into a fuel prod. by making it possible to dry drained sludge in traditional drying plants for mfg. a prod. that may be burned in existing, greater heating plants.    (EP549861-B1)      Method for manufacturing a fuel product by drying a sludge which is drained to a dry matter content of at least 15-30%, and which prior to the drying is mixed with an inflammable material, having a lower water content than the sludge, to a composite product, which by use of a drying plant is dried to a desired dry matter content by heating, wherein the inflammable material is triturated before it is mixed with the sludge, and wherein the composite product is crumbled, characterised in that the drying plant used is of a drum type having heating means at one end, that the composite product is introduced into the drying plant in the immediate vicinity of its heating means, that the composite product is conveyed mechanically and pneumatically through the drying plant, and that the dried composite product is finally formed as a fuel product.
