TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - ENVIRONMENT - Preferred Method: The method involves carrying out the first drying phase with the biosolids on the first conveyor and carrying out the second drying phase with the biosolids on the second conveyor, where blending nutrients with the biosolids occurs between the first and second drying phases. The dryer includes first and second conveyors for holding and conveying the biosolids. The method involves positioning the biosolids on a first conveyor in the dryer, moving the biosolids through the dryer on the first conveyor and partially drying the biosolids in the process, discharging the biosolids from the first conveyor, after the biosolids have been partially dried, directing the biosolids into a blender and blending the nutrients with the biosolids and pelletizing the biosolids, directing the pelletized biosolids onto a second conveyor, moving the pelletized biosolids through the dryer on the second conveyor, and further drying the pelletized biosolids, and hence the pelletized biosolids include a dry solids content greater than 90%. The method involves moving the biosolids through the dryer, where the biosolids move through the dryer, and the biosolids are subjected to a decreasing temperature. The nutrients blended into the biosolids comprise a custom blend dictated, in portion at least, by soil conditions in a particular geographical area. The method involves increasing the bulk density of the biosolids by removing air from the biosolids. The method involves pelletizing the biosolids during drying and after the moisture content of the biosolids has been reduced to where the biosolids have a dry solids content of 50% or more. The method involves pelletizing the biosolids after partially drying the biosolids. The pelletizing the biosolids involves crushing, sizing and separating the biosolids into pellets or formed shapes, where at least a portion of the blending and pelletizing of the biosolids occurs outside of the dryer. The method involves compressing the biosolids to increase the density of the biosolids and pelletizing the biosolids, after blending nutrients with the biosolids. The temperature in the dryer varies from 220-350 degrees F. The method involves directing the biosolids to a blender and blending nutrients with the partially dried biosolids, before pelletizing the biosolids and after the first drying phase. The method involves pelletizing the biosolids by directing the biosolids onto two counter-rotating rollers and directing the biosolids downwardly through a nip defined between the two rollers that compress the biosolids, and removing the biosolids in the form of pellets from the two counter-rotating rollers. The pelletizing the biosolids involves directing the biosolids through a nip defined between two counter-rotating rollers, where each roller includes a surface having relief spots formed within it. The method further involves loading a hopper that is at least partially disposed outside the dryer with nutrients, distributing the nutrients from the hopper to two counter-rotating rollers, directing the partially dried biosolids onto the two counter-rotating rollers and utilizing the rollers to blend the nutrients into the biosolids, and directing the biosolids downwardly through a nip between the two rollers such that the biosolids exiting the rollers include blended nutrients. Surfaces of the two counter-rotating rollers include relief areas that pelletize the biosolids as the biosolids pass through the nip of the rollers. Preferred System: The dryer is configured to include first and second temperature zones with the first temperature zone associated with the first conveyor and the second temperature zone associated with the second conveyor, where the first temperature zone is maintained at higher temperature than the second temperature zone. The dryer includes housing, where blending and pelletizing machine is disposed exteriorly of the dryer housing. The system includes blending and pelletizing machine operative to receive partially dried biosolids from the first conveyor and to blend nutrients into the biosolids and to pelletize the biosolids. The blending and pelletizing machine comprises pair of rollers, each roller having relief spots formed in the surface, hopper for receiving and holding nutrients, and hopper disposed over the rollers and operative to meter nutrients from the hopper onto the rollers, where the nutrients are blended into the biosolids conveyed onto the rollers and passing through a nip between the rollers. The pair of rollers is disposed in the dryer and at least a portion of the hopper is disposed exteriorly of the dryer. The system includes combination blending and pelletizing machine including hopper and pelletizing mill, where the hopper is disposed over the pelletizing mill which is operative to receive biosolids from the hopper and to pelletize the biosolids.
