Effect of airflow on moisture removal of rotary biodrying reactors
Khajon Somsai1, Tondee, Tusanee2, Kerdsuwan, Somrat3.
Biodrying is the process to reduce moisture from municipal solid waste (MSW) by using
the heat from aerobic bio-degradation. The typical process parameters are aeration,
temperature during the process, initial moisture of waste, and temperature and relative
humidity of the inlet air. This study aimed to investigate the effects of air flow rate and
the supplied direct airflow duration on the rotary biodrying process for drying the high
initial moisture content households solid waste, allowing satisfied energy content
biofuel. The MSW from the Karai subdistric, kratumban samutsakorn province were used
as a substrate. Biodrying process was performed in 8 trails with various air volumes from
0.20 to 0.45 m3/hr.-kg dry weight (dw). It was found that the increased airflow rate was
not linearly proportional to the weight loss. The hydrolytic stage period (2 days) before
supplied high air flow in aerobic stage could more increase moisture removal efficiency
for rotary biodrying than increase double air flow rate only. The end product was
sufficiently homogeneous and heating values 18,024 – 24,260 kJ/kg.
