Description of application

  • Plant: Sewage sludge turner
  • Customer requirements:
    • Fail-safe power and energy supply

With the HUBER sewage sludge turner SOLSTICE, solar drying becomes a technology that combines sustainability with ecology and economy. Dewatered sticky sludge is reduced in mass and volume to approx. a quarter by solar drying and turned into granular material. The plant can be used to recycle drinking water from the polluted Bahr-El-Baqar canal system for 500,000 people.

Customer requirements:

The automated plant in Bahr-El-Baquar processes a total of 475,000 tonnes of sludge over 4,000 operating hours every year. This makes the project one of the largest sludge drying projects in the world. In order to be able to safely guide the plant's cables over long distances, even in heat, humidity and dirt, suitable energy supply systems were required.

igus solutions:

For a dependable power and energy supply of the automatic plant, igus® 3500 Series energy chains with chainflex® cables are used in a steel trough with a travel distance of 100 metres in 128 units.
