Project: Brentwood Wastewater Treatment Plant
Subject: Biosolids Dryer Improvement Project PROBLEM STATEMENT The City of Brentwood is considering upgrade to their sludge handling process that would produce Class A biosolids. The purpose of this report is to summarize the issues and quantify the payback time required to recover the capital investment. DISCUSSION OF EXISTING TREATMENT PROCESS The City of Brentwood WWTP is a suspended growth activated sludge process. The plant operations and processes included the following:
• fine screens • grit classifiers • denitrification basins • oxidation ditches • secondary clarifiers • return activated sludge • tertiary deep bed sand filters • chlorine contact basin • belt filter press for biosolids dewatering
Un-disinfected tertiary effluent can be diverted to onsite disposal ponds, and chlorine disinfected tertiary effluent can be reused as plant water or in the community as non-potable

water. The remaining tertiary disinfected effluent flows over a cascade aerator prior to discharge into Marsh Creek. The solids handling facility receives waste activated sludge (WAS) and scum (SCUM) from the secondary clarifiers. The sludge is dewatered using a belt filter press before hauling offsite to a local landfill. Sludge filtrate is returned back to the headworks prior to the Parshall flume influent flow meter. The solids handling facilities are located in a two story building that is shared with plant headworks facilities. The belt filter presses are located on the upper level and are fed by sludge pumps located on the first level directly below. Dewatered sludge from the presses travels via conveyors across the second story and drops through the floor into a multiport conveyors that fill truck trailers in a dual bay truck loading dock on the first floor. The foul air handling units are located on the second floor and pump foul air to nearby soil bio-filters. The solids handling building has been sized to include equipment space and piping connection points for both the existing phase 1 and future phase 2 expansion of the WWTP. Table 1 below is a summary of the existing and planned future facilities. Table 1 – Sludge Dewatering Facilities

Belt Filter Press 2 duty 2 future
Hydraulic Power Units 2 duty 2 future
Polymer Feed Pumps 2 duty, 1 standby 1 future

The sludge sent to the belt filter press comes directly from the secondary clarifiers without any additional aerobic or anaerobic digestion process. The oxidation ditch has a mean cell residence time of approximately 14 days. Polymer is added to the WAS and SCUM as a coagulant. The belt filter press produces a sludge with 15% solids, has no apparent odor or vector attraction. The belt filter press produces a dewatered and unclassified sludge that is currently being off-hauled to the Altamont Landfill (a Class 3 landfill) where it is used as alternative daily cover material.

The City may continue this method of disposal as long the hauling and tipping cost remain economical and the landfill accepts unclassified sludge. SLUDGE AND BIOSOLIDS Unclassified sludge is the solids that have been separated from the wastewater treatment process that have not been treated by a Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens (PSRP) and confirmed through testing that the fecal coliform density and vector control has been diminished to specified limits in order to classify the treated sludge as Class B or Class A biosolids. Biosolids are treated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant that have been treated to remove any hazardous contaminants and materials through biological, chemical, and physical treatment processes. Typical potential contaminates include total and volatile solids, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, heavy metals, specific organic compounds, and pathogens. Pretreatment of wastewater at the source of some industrial and commercial service connection eliminate most of the heavy metals. The solids are then separated from the liquids and disposed of by incineration, buried in a landfill, or reused as fertilizer or soil amendment. The disposal and reuse of biosolids must be in accordance with the federal biosolids rules and regulations found in 40 CFR Part 503. Class B biosolids will have detectable levels of pathogens (disease-causing organisms, such as certain bacteria, viruses and parasites) and other organisms capable of transporting disease. To meet Class B requirements the sludge must be tested and meet a limit for total fecal coliform density less than 2 million MPN/g TS, or be treated by one of the Processes to Significantly Reduce Pathogens (PSRP) which include; aerobic digestion, air drying, anaerobic digestion, composting, or lime stabilization as dictated in Table 5-7 of the 40 CFR Part 503. The land application of Class B sludge has buffer requirements, public access and crop harvesting restrictions since it still has detectable levels of pathogens. Class A biosolids have been treated so that detectible pathogens are extremely low. To meet Class A requirements the sludge must be tested with fecal coliform less than 1,000 MPN/g TS and salmonella spp less than 3 MPN/g TS. Processes to Significantly Reduce Pathogens for Class A biosolids are: thermal treatment and high pH-high temperature treatment or other approved process. Class A biosolids may be used by the general public and individual home owners in small amounts without buffer requirements or food harvesting restrictions. The bulk reuse of Class A biosolids requires a buffer but no restrictions on food harvesting. Farmers and industrial users are subject to recommended application and agronomic rates.

SLUDGE TREATMENT Federal restrictions for sludge disposal are predominately on heavy metals, pathogens, and vector control. In general, heavy metal concentrations in WWTP influent has decreased due to the recent pretreatment requirements set upon commercial and industrial service connections. If disposal restrictions increase, the City could haul the waste to a Class 2 or Class 1 landfill at what would probably be a higher hauling cost and disposal fee. The City has performed a series of tests to determine if the existing “unclassified” dewatered sludge meets Class B limits for 2 million MPN/mg TS. The sludge does not meet Class B limits, but could be treated by one of the following processes to significantly reduce pathogens: aerobic digester, anaerobic digester, air drying, composting, or lime stabilization prior to disposal at a Class 1 or 2 landfill. Operations staff at the City of Brentwood WWTP are considering the costs of producing Class A biosolids as a way to reduce operating costs. Rather than spend resources in constructing a two part Class B and Class A solids handling facility the City would prefer to skip the Class B treatment process (digesters and etc.) and construct a Class A biosolids facility. EQUIPMENT The City of Brentwood is researching a screw type thermal dryer to produce Class A biosolids from unclassified sludge without having to first make a Class B biosolids. BIOSOLIDS THERMAL DRYER A screw type dryer is an enclosed trough with two internal screw conveyors that mix and move dewatered sludge at 15% solids from the wet sludge inlet hopper to the dry, 95% solids, biosolids outlet at the far end. The sludge is heated indirectly by thermal fluid that is circulated through the hollow screw blades and shafts, and through tubing in the insulated outer jacket. In some units auxiliary heating is applied by electrical heating elements. The sludge is mixed and heated to a minimum temperature and retained for a minimum time as required to produce Class A biosolid per 40 CFR Part 503. The internal screws are turned by a small electric motor and gearbox. The thermal fluid is heated by a separate heating unit equipped with a natural gas burner. Heated sludge from the dryer is sent through a condenser and cooling unit before being conveyed to storage or loading bay. Air handling units may be used to pull, dust, vapor, and odors for treatment. Excess water that is removed from the sludge is drained back to the WWTP headworks for retreatment. The screw type dryer systems were originally designed for the larger mining and paper pulp industries and have been modified to fit the municipal wastewater treatment market. The dryers tend to be very robust units with slow moving parts that have high wear resistance and relatively low horsepower requirements.

The remainder of this technical memo will summarize a comparison between two screw type thermal dryers, one by Andritz and the other by Therma-Flite. Andritz is a made in Austria with multiple installations in the United States. Therma-Flite is manufactured in the Benicia, CA which is just 35 miles from the City of Brentwood. Therma-Flite considers the possibility of installing a dryer unit at the City of Brentwood WWTP to be prime opportunity to showcase a unit in their own backyard. A comparison of the design capacity, required utilities, scope of supply, and unit costs are provided in Table 2. COST OF TWO SCREW TYPE THERMAL DRYER UNITS The two equipment quotes provided by the vendors ranged from $1.68M to $2.14M. However, some of the supplied and required ancillary equipment differs. Therefore, the scopes of supply should be compared and considered before selecting the dryer equipment. Table 2– Budgetary Sludge Dryer Equipment Cost

Budgetary Sludge Dryer Equipment Cost $2,142,172 $1,679,100 MONTHLY LAND DISPOSAL FEES A thermal dryer will decrease the water content of the sludge and reduce the total weight by about one-sixth. Using the current disposal and hauling fees it is estimated that the monthly disposal cost will decrease by $19,000/month. For the sake of this technical memo, it will be assumed that there are no purchasers or users of biosolids outside the WWTP and that all biosolids must be hauled offsite and land applied at a local landfill. Alternatively, this assumption would also apply to situations where Class A biosolids are applied to local golf courses assuming that the golf courses do not pay for the biosolids. In any case, we have not assumed that Class A biosolids produce a revenue stream for the City. The dewatered sludge containing 15% solids is off-hauled by truck to two local landfills. The landfill primarily used by the City is the Vasco Road Landfill and Recycling Drop-off in Livermore, CA which currently charges $23.50/Ton and has a hauling cost of $273/truck. The secondary
Page 7 of 15
landfill is Potrero Hills Landfill in Suisun City, CA which charges $18.75/Ton and has a hauling cost of $319/truck. The WWTP produces an average of 580 Tons and 30 to 35 truck- loads per month.
(580 Tons of unclassified wet sludge per month at 15% @ $23.50/Ton) + ($273/truck * 35 trucks/month) = $13,360 +$9,555 = $23,185/month
If a thermal dryer were used to treat and dry the sludge, the resulting product would be Class A biosolids with 90% to 95% solids. The volume of 90% biosolids would be a reduced by a multitude of 6 versus the existing unclassified sludge that is produced at the WWTP. The hauling and tipping fees would be one-sixth the current cost as 580 tons of sludge would be reduced to 97 tons and 35 truckloads of sludge would be reduced to approximately 6 truckloads.
(97 Tons of Class A dry biosolids per month at 90% @ $23.50/Ton) + ($273/truck * 6 trucks/month) = $2,280 + $1,638 = $3,917/month

MONTHLY ENERGY COST The estimated monthly electrical and natural gas utility cost is approximately $15,000/month. The following assumptions were made for the use of natural gas and electricity and the results are shown in Table 4 below.
A. Natural Gas 1. Therma-Flite sludge drying rate 6,700 lbs/hr
• (580 tons wet sludge/month)*(2,000 lbs/ton)/(6,700 lbs/hr)=173 hrs/month; • Run for 6 hr/d + 1 hr heat up + 1 hr shut down; • (173 hr/mo) / (6 hr/d) = 29 d/mo;
Page 8 of 15
• (29 d/mo)*(8 hr/d) = 232 hr/mo; • (232 hrs/mo)*($42.75/hr) = $9918/mo natural gas
2. Andritz sludge drying rate 3,788 lbs/hr • (580 tons wet sludge/month)*(2,000 lbs/ton)/(3,887 lbs/hr)=298 hrs/month; • The Andritz unit must run more than 8 hr/d, therefore try two 8 hr shifts/d. • Run for 14 hr/d + 1 hr heat up + 1 hr shut down; • (298 hr/mo) / (14 hr/d) = 22 d/mo; • (22 d/mo)*(16 hr/d) = 352 hr/mo; • (352 hr/mo)*($42.75/hr) = $15,048/mo natural gas
B. Electricity
1. Therma-Flite • (232 hr/mo)*($4.59/hr) = $1,065/mo; • Add miscellaneous odor control, lighting, HVAC, ancillary equipment, conveyors,
and etc. $1,000/mo; • $1,065/mo + $1,000/mo = $2,065/mo electricity
2. Andritz • (352 hr/mo)*($4.59/hr) = $1,616/mo; • Add miscellaneous odor control, lighting, HVAC, ancillary equipment, conveyors,
and etc. $1,000/mo; • $1,616/mo + $1,000/mo = $2,616/mo electricity

Electricity (@ $0.08 per kW/hr)
$1,065/mo $1,616/mo
Electricity (miscellaneous) $1,000/mo $1,000/mo
Monthly Energy Cost $11,983/mo $17,664/mo These utility costs are based on preliminary sizing of a dryer unit. Further design and specification of the sludge dryers would probably increase the operational run time of these units and decrease the monthly energy costs. The average monthly utility cost is roughly $15,000 per month.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE Sludge entering a biosolids thermal dryer unit must first be dewatered therefore the daily operation of existing belt filter presses will not change from the current practices. The additional operation and maintenance costs associated with running the sludge dryer is estimated and shown in Table 5 below. Both sludge dryers discussed in this report are capable of continuous duty. If there were a constant feed of dewatered sludge coming from the belt filter presses then this would be the most efficient strategy due to the extra cost of heating up the dryer unit after a daily shut down. The report assumes that the sludge dryer will be operated for only one to two shifts per day. It is anticipated that the daily operation of the dryer will include 4 hours of labor per day, including 2 hours for start-up, 1 hour for shut-down, and 1 hour for cleaning and maintenance.
• Daily Operational Labor: (29 d/mo)*(4 hr/d)*($100/hr) = $11,600/month • Testing, Monitoring and Reporting: (8 hr/d)*(1 d/wk)*(4 wk/mo) = $3,200/month • Maintenance, Repair and Replacement: $6,000/yr per manufacture = $500/month

CLASS A BIOSOLIDS FACILITY The existing solids handling facility will remain as the first stage in the Class A biosolids facility as the solids will require dewatering prior to being dried. The existing belt filter press is still within its lifecycle and performs well. The existing phase 1 (5 MGD) belt filter press, air handling, odor control, sludge conveyance, and sludge hauling equipment and facilities can be incorporated as part of a Class A biosolids improvement project. A Class A facility will require additional equipment such as: sludge storage hopper(s), conveyors, dryer, air handling unit, and building. When wastewater influent flows increase the existing plans and provisions made for a
Page 10 of 15
phase 2 (10 MGD) expansion of the belt filter presses would still be valid and apply to an expansion of the Class A biosolids facility. CONSTRUCTION The following facilities, equipment and tasks would be required. The sludge dryer has been added to the existing solids handling flow diagram in Figure 1. Figures 2, 3 and 4 show the conceptual mechanical improvements. The equipment shown in these figures shows only a conceptual layout of how Class A dryer improvements may be implemented into the existing solids handling systems. The facilities shown have not been sized, and are not shown to scale. Building – The existing building houses the phase 1 sludge feed pumps, belt filter presses, conveyors, air handling units, and truck loading bays. There is ample space for the phase 2 expansion but there is not enough additional space for the dryer and ancillary equipment. A new biosolids dryer building may be constructed adjacent to the solids handling building on the other side of the truck loading bays. Sludge Storage Hopper – Sludge that is continuously dewatered from the belt filter press with a 15% solids concentration will need to be stored for a period of 1 to 2 days prior to a batch dryer cycle. New sludge conveyors could move dewatered sludge from the belt filter presses across the existing solids handling building and truck loading bays to the sludge storage hopper. The hopper would be on the second level of the building with the dryer underneath it on the first level of the building. Sludge Dryer – The sludge dyer should be installed indoors to protect it from the elements and to provide a level of odor and dust control. The dryer should be located on the first floor of the new dryer building for ease of maintenance and to provide gravity feed from the sludge hopper on the second level above the dryer. Dried biosolids can be moved via conveyor from the dryer into the truck loading bays. Conveyors – Conveyors would be required to move dewatered sludge from the belt filter presses to the sludge storage hoppers, from the sludge storage hopper to the dryer unit, and then from the dryer unit to the truck loading bays. Odor and Dust Control – Air from the belt filter presses is captured by fume hoods overhanging the existing belt filter presses then pushed through a soil filter adjacent to the solids handling building. There is no evident odor emanating from the belt filter presses now so it is probable that odor will not be an issue for the dry biosolids, but the construction of an odor control unit should be considered in the case that the WWTP process changes and the solids start to give off
Page 11 of 15
foul smelling air. There is space in the foul air header for the phase 2 belt filter presses but not for additional foul air for a dryer and condenser/cooler. A foul air handling unit and odor removal system such as the existing soil filter should be considered in the preliminary design. Dust control may be required for the dry solids around the condenser/cooler and truck bays. Instrumentation, Control, and SCADA – To make it simpler for the operations and maintenance group all electrical, instrumentation, and control equipment should be compatible or match the current standard equipment at the WWTP, including PLCs, VFDs, protocol language, SCADA hardware and software, electrical switch gear, flow meters, gauges, flow control valves, and etc. All new control panels should be tied into the existing plant wide SCADA monitoring and control system including new supplemental programing and screens for the plant control center. The SCADA hardware, software, protocol, point address, should match or be compatible with the existing SCADA system and historian. Permitting – It is anticipated that a new solids handling building will require a building permit through the local City or County building department. Biosolids sampling according to 40 CFR 503 may be required to verify that the dry biosolids meet Class A requirements. The California Air Resources Board should be notified and any required permit submitted for the use of natural gas for the burner on the thermal heating unit or for dust generated during handling of the dry Class A biosolids. DESIGN The following tasks would be required to produce a full set of design and construction documents. Preliminary Design Report – A preliminary design report would be generated to further investigate the feasibility of alternative dryer units, select a preferred unit, and produce design parameters and preliminary design layout and budgetary cost estimate for the project. Geotechnical – A geotechnical investigation is required for the purpose of designing a solids handling building foundation plan. Survey – A topographic and utility survey in the area of the proposed improvements is essential for the design development and construction of this project. Environmental – It is assumed that the City of Brentwood WWTP has an existing CEQA document and SWPPP. This project would not be outside of the existing footprint or predefined
Page 12 of 15
use and therefore it is not anticipated that any new environmental studies would be required. It is possible that Addendums or supplements to the existing documents may be required. Design – A full set of plans and technical specifications will need to be produced for the construction of this project including civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and possibly architectural disciplines. SUMMARY OF COSTS Construction Cost – For a budgetary cost estimate the construction cost is assumed to be 100% of the dryer equipment cost. This markup is intended to include all the ancillary equipment not provided in the equipment scope of supply, any utility service connections, site improvements, building, wet and dry utilities, controls and instrumentation, programing, construction inspection, construction staking, construction permits, compaction testing, and construction management. Design Fees – The design fees are assumed to be 10% of total construction and equipment cost. Design fees would include the topographic survey, geotechnical investigation, laboratory testing, environmental report, preliminary design report, construction plans and technical specifications, and regulatory permitting. The summary of the budgetary capital improvement costs and the monthly operation and maintenance costs are shown in Table 6 below. Note that a construction contingency cost is not included in Table 6 due to the lack of meaningful details at this point and due to the relatively large markup on equipment cost. A typical conceptual level contingency is 30% of the total construction, equipment, and design costs and should be applied during the pre-design stage. The capital improvement cost for the Therma-Flite unit is higher than the Andritz unit because there are more items included in the equipment scope of supply. It would therefore not be correct to conclude that the Andritz unit is a preferred over the Therma-Flite because the cost is lower. During the preliminary design phase more work would be done to size the units and adjust the scope of supply and specify ancillary equipment. The difference between the two dryer units should be considered a range of capital improvement costs. Table 6 – Budgetary Costs

1 Assume total construction cost including all the ancillary equipment, utility service connections, site improvements, building, controls and instrumentation, programing, construction inspection, construction staking, compaction testing, construction permits, and construction management equal to 100% of the dryer equipment cost.
2 Design would include initial topographic survey, geotechnical investigation, laboratory testing, environmental report,
preliminary design report, construction plans and technical specifications, and permitting. Assume 10% of total construction and equipment cost.
3 Capital Improvement Cost does not include a contingency. A typical conceptual contingency is 30% of improvement cost. 4 Current monthly cost to haul and disposal of “unclassified” sludge from belt filter press. Assumed to be a cost savings if all
sludge is hauled and disposed of as “Class A” sludge from dryer. CONCLUSION After reducing the hauling and disposal fees by producing a dry Class A sludge there is still a net monthly increase in operational costs ranging from $8,000 to $13,700 per month. It was assumed in this memo that there were no customers to purchase the Class A biosolids or even haul it away with no expense to the City. The biosolids improvement project would have a capital cost ranging from $3.7M to $4.7M, not including a contingency cost. Using the assumptions provided in the memo there is no payback period for this project. However, if the City’s primary goal is to produce Class A biosolids as a means of becoming more environmentally friendly, or to produce a product that can be reused locally with little to no restriction then this project may be socially or politically desirable. REVISIONS This solids drying technical memo was reviewed and commented on by the design team and the following revisions were made to the original memo dated March 23, 2015. The following
Page 14 of 15
parameters were changed. These changes were then incorporated into the calculations resulting in a revised set of tabulated values. Revised Tables 3 through 6 are attached to this memo.
1. Electrical Costs changed from $0.08/kWh to $0.14/kWh. 2. Therma-Flite wet solids input feed rate changed from 6,700 lbs/hr to 6,400 lbs/hr. 3. Therma-Flite wet solids input sludge concentration changed from 18% to 15%. 4. Fuel costs for the dryer will not include dryer cool down time. 5. Dryer will be shown to operate continuously 24 hours per day and process one (1)
weeks storage of dewatered 15% sludge from the presses. This approach will assume one run cycle of the dryer per week.
6. It will be assumed that there will be no increase in operations staffing hours, and that all work including daily start up, shut down, cleaning, and maintenance of the dryer units, sludge feed pumps, and conveyors will be absorbed into the work details of the existing solids handling crew.
7. It is assumed that there will be no increase in operations or laboratory staffing hours, and that all work including regular testing, monitoring, and reporting of sludge will be absorbed into the already regular solids handling testing, monitoring, and reporting procedures.
8. Design fees shall be a percentage of the construction cost and not the major equipment cost.
REVISED CONCLUSIONS After the clarification that no new operations or technicians will be added to the staff the O&M, testing, monitoring, and reporting fees are reduced to $0.00 per month in Table 5. Construction costs were revised and itemized to a limited extent, but are still estimated and only budgetary. The design fees are calculated to be 15% of the construction cost and include engineering, field investigations, testing, permitting, and environmental. The budgetary cost estimate includes a 30% contingency. Refer to the revised Table 6 for budgetary costs. Using the revised parameters, the payback period is 89 years. If the sludge hauling and disposal costs were decreased, the payback period significantly can be significantly reduced. For example, if half of the Class A sludge were to be reused and hauled only a short distance so that the cost for hauling was $100/truck and disposed fee was at no charge the payback period would be 50 years.

This technical memo outlines the foreseeable issues with constructing Class A sludge drying facility and does show that a payback of the facilities is probable. It is recommended that in the next phase a more in depth and detailed analysis and cost estimated of the project be developed. Also, the next phase of analysis should include some study and assessment of likely Class A disposal markets, including likely hauling distances, total annual application rates, cost to dispose, etc. Finally, the next phase of analysis should include some assessment of the need for the City to achieve Class A biosolids regardless of the cost. This analysis was limited to assessing payback periods and likely costs without regard to the absolute need for the facility and likely opportunity costs for not constructing a Class A biosolids facility.

module. The IC series dryers are complete turnkey biosolids dryer systems, modularly designed
for ease of installation. Programmable logic controller (PLC) automation and control of the IC
series system insures meeting 40 CFR, 503, Class A requirements while processing on a
continuous basis with minimal operator attention.
1.2 Scope:
The scope of this proposal includes the design and furnishing of a complete sludge dryer system.
The sludge dryer system shall consist of 1 unit, each consisting of the following components:
1.2.1 Feed hopper with integrated live feed bottom
1.2.2 PC pump feed system
1.2.3 BIO ‐SCRU® Dryer with integrated HOLO ‐SCRU® rotors
1.2.4 Thermal fluid heater fired with Natural Gas
1.2.5 Cooling screw and rotary discharge valve
1.2.6 Scrubber / condenser
1.2.7 NEMA 12 Control panel with Motor Starters and VFD’s
1.3 How the IC‐5400 BIO‐SCRU, Biosolids Dryer System Works:
The BIO‐SCRU’s® drying chamber is a sealed, null pressure, anaerobic atmosphere. The drying
chamber is kept constantly full to minimize head space in the chamber and to maximize the
thermal operating efficiency. The BIO‐SCRU’s® heat energy is provided by the thermal fluid
circulating through the hollow rotor flighting, rotor shaft and dryer chamber housing. This
method of heating is indirect, meaning the heating medium is not in contact with the product
being heated.
The BIO‐SCRU’s® independently driven, variable speed, dual‐rotor design includes proprietary
features which make the rotors self‐clearing. This feature breaks up any sludge that may bake
onto the rotors and/or form clumps. This also promotes mixing of the sludge.

The BIO‐SCRU® dryer design can also incorporate mixing blades, which break up any large
clumps and homogenize the particle size to insure the sludge is uniformly heated throughout
the unit.
The BIO‐SCRU® dryer utilizes a multi‐sensing‐point method for failsafe operation. The PLC‐
controlled scrubber/condenser insures that small particulate is captured within the condensate
stream to minimize odors.

3 COMPLIANCE WITH 40 CFR 503 RULES TO PRODUCE CLASS A BIOSOLIDS
3.1 The Therma‐Flite Sludge Dryer is a unique continuous processor that can produce Class A biosolids reliably while complying with the 40 CFR 503 regulations. Compliance with both the pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction requirements for Class A biosolids is met with different operating regimen and compliance logging options.

Total Pages 18 Therma‐Flite 877‐DRY‐SLDS mstone@therma‐flite.com
3.2 By residence time and temperature, the pathogen reduction requirement 503.32(a) (2) is met using time and temperature regimen A Alternative 1 for “every particle” in the sludge mass. This requirement is for the temperature to equal or exceed 167 degrees F for 20 minutes for every particle.
The residence time at greater than 167 degrees F is determined by the transport rate of the screw. The MINIMUM residence time is measured between the point where the temperature of the material is measured to be greater than 167 degrees F and the first edge of the discharge port. Test ports are provided for manual verification of the temperature at the initiation of the residence time.
Temperature and the machine speed/residence time are recorded automatically with a time stamp; it is a compliance record.
3.3 The vector attraction reduction requirement is met by Option 8 503.33(b) (8) for any sludge by drying to greater than 90% solids. A sludge that is fully digested and does not contain any undigested solids may meet this requirement under Option 7 503.33(b) (7) by only being dried to greater than 75% solids.
3.4 The Therma‐Flite Sludge Dryer qualifies as a PFRP (Processes to Further Reduce Pathogens) 503.32(2) (7) Appendix B, Heat Drying. Using this alternative, the sludge is dried to less than 10% moisture and the temperature of the exiting material is greater than 176 degrees F. The compliance logging for this alternative records the temperature of the exiting material with a date stamp. This complies with both the pathogen reduction and the vector attraction reduction requirements for Class A biosolids. For many operators this may be the preferred method of compliance.

All tenders & contracts for the performance of deliveries and service outside the Netherlands are governed by the Orgalime general conditions.
3.2.2 THE DRYER CONSTRUCTION General The GMF Paddle dryer consists of a jacketed trough and two shafts with hollow paddles. On the trough is a cover with the inlet for the product to be dried. The product is dried by heat transfer with the heating medium which is flowing trough the shafts, paddles and jacket. The dried product is removed from the discharge chute via a shaftless spiral screw conveyor. The exhaust vapours leave the dryer through an exhaust outlet on the cover. The absence of air during the drying process results in a very safe operation due to lowest oxygen content, a small and compact odour treatment and it offers the possibility of a heat recovery system in the vapour condensing unit due to the high dew point of the off-gas. Trough The trough is omega shaped with a jacket. The product is fed at one end of the machine and will be transported by gravity, under a slight angle of the trough, to the outlet of the machine at the other end. During tee residence time of the product in the machine, a perfect plug flow is maintained, guaranteeing perfect uniform product quality. The product level inside the machine is secured by an adjustable overflow wear. Overflow weir at the product outlet side has manually operated emptying valves at the bottom of the product removal before a production stop. Product outlet chute at the bottom of the trough has a rectangular flange to connect to the downstream equipment. Discharge conveyor A horizontal spiral screw conveyor is mounted underneath the rectangular outlet flange of the discharge chute, to remove the product from the trough. The spiral screw conveyor has two bottom outlets, one on each end of the conveyor. In combination with the bi-directional rotation of the screw conveyor, the product can be transported to either one of these product outlets. One of the product outlets is connected to the further transport system, for post-processing of the dried sludge. The other outlet is an emergency outlet for off-spec product, in case of a process hick-up in the dryer. Shafts The dryer has two hollow shafts with hollow wedge-shaped paddles arranged in staggered position. Heating medium is introduced at one side of the shafts and flows in parallel through the paddles. The paddles are wedge shaped for optimal contact with the product and consequently good heat transfer at the product side as well. The heating medium leaves the shafts at the same side as it comes in. To protect against abrasion, the last 70% of the paddles will be coated with our HVOF tungsten carbide abrasion-resistant coating. Cover On the dust tight cover are the product inlet, the vapour outlet, two inspection ports and a man hole. Together with the upper part of the trough a gas/vapour dome is created. The cover can be optionally heat traced to prevent any risk of condensation. Sweep gas can be introduced through nozzles at the product inlet- and outlet side. Shaft seals The main shaft seals are effected with stuffing boxes. The stuffing boxes are flexibly connected with the trough endplates, such that they can follow small movements of the shafts and still maintain tightness. On the shafts wear sleeves at the sealing area prevent shaft damage by abrasion. The wear sleeves have a special hard surface (ceramic) layer. The stuffing boxes have a lantern ring for a gas purge.

(b) Seller further warrants to Buyer that at delivery, the Products manufactured by it will be free of any liens or encumbrances. If there are any such liens or encumbrances, Seller will cause them to be discharged promptly after notification from Buyer of their existence. (c) THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SELLER MAKES IN THIS PARAGRAPH 3 ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES IT WILL MAKE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER STATUTORY, ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. IN PARTICULAR, THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. (d) The remedies provided in paragraphs 3(a) and 3(b) are Buyer's exclusive remedy for breach of warranty. (e) With respect to any Product or part thereof not manufactured by Seller, Seller shall pass on to Buyer only those warranties made to Seller by the manufacturer of such Product or part which are capable of being so passed on. 4. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the following limitations of liability shall apply: (a) In no event, whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, shall Seller, its officers, directors, employees, subcontractors, suppliers or affiliated companies be liable to Buyer or any third party for loss of profits, revenue or business opportunity, loss by reason of shutdown of facilities or inability to operate any facility at full capacity, or cost of obtaining other means for performing the functions performed by the Products, loss of future contracts, claims of customers, cost of money or loss of use of capital, in each case whether or not foreseeable, or for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages of any nature. (b) The aggregate liability of Seller, its officers, directors, employees, subcontractors, suppliers or affiliated companies, for all claims of any kind for any loss, damage, or expense resulting from, arising out of or connected with the Products or this Agreement or from the performance or breach thereof, together with the cost of performing make good obligations to pass performance tests, if applicable, shall in no event exceed the contract price. The foregoing notwithstanding, Seller’s aggregate liability for any claims for (a) delay in delivery shall not exceed 5% and (b) failure to achieve performance requirements, shall not exceed 15% of the contract price. (c) The limitations and exclusions of liability set forth in this paragraph 4 shall take precedence over any other provision of this Agreement and shall apply whether the claim of liability is based on contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability, indemnity, or otherwise. The remedies provided in this Agreement are Buyer’s exclusive remedies. (d) All liability of Seller, its officers, directors, employees, subcontractors, suppliers or affiliated companies, resulting from, arising out of or connected with the Products or this Agreement or from the performance or breach thereof shall terminate on the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement. 5. CHANGES, DELETIONS AND EXTRA WORK Seller will not make changes in the Products unless Buyer and Seller have executed a written Change Order for such change. Any such Change Order will include an appropriate adjustment to the contract price and delivery terms. If the change impairs Seller’s ability to satisfy any of its obligations to Buyer, the Change Order will include appropriate modifications to this Agreement. If, after the date of this quotation or acknowledgment, new or revised governmental requirements should require a change in the Products, the change will be subject to this paragraph 5. 6. TAXES Seller’s prices do not include any sales, use, excise or other taxes. In addition to the price specified herein, the amount of any present or future sales, use, excise or other tax applicable to the sale or use of the Products shall be billed to and paid by Buyer unless Buyer provides to Seller a tax-exemption certificate acceptable to the relevant taxing authorities. 7.

Buyer acknowledges that Seller may file a financing statement or comparable document as required by applicable law and may take all other action it deems reasonably necessary to perfect and maintain such security interest in Seller and to protect Seller’s interest in the Products. 8. SET OFF Neither Buyer nor any of its affiliates shall have any right to set off claims against Seller or any of its affiliates for amounts owed under this Agreement or otherwise. 9. PATENTS Unless the Products or any part thereof are designed to Buyer’s specifications and provided the Product or any part thereof is not used in any manner other than as specified or approved by Seller in writing, (i) Seller shall defend against any suit or proceeding brought against Buyer to the extent based on a claim that any Product, or any part thereof, infringes any United States device patent; provided Seller is notified promptly in writing and given the necessary authority, information and assistance for the defense of such suit or proceeding; (ii) Seller shall satisfy any judgment for damages entered against Buyer in such suit; and (iii) if such judgment enjoins Buyer from using any product or a part thereof, then Seller shall, at its option: (a) obtain for Buyer the right to continue using such Product or part; (b) eliminate the infringement by replacing or modifying all or part of the Products; or (c) take back such Product or part and refund to Buyer all payments on the purchase price which Seller has received, in which case neither Buyer nor Seller will have any claim against the other under this Agreement or arising out of the subject matter of this Agreement. The foregoing states Seller’s entire liability for patent infringement by any Product or part thereof.
10. SOFTWARE LICENSE, WARRANTY, FEES The following Software Terms and Conditions apply to any software furnished by Seller, whether separately packaged or embedded in the Products furnished by Seller hereunder: (a) Seller hereby grants to Buyer: a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use any computer software delivered to Buyer under this Agreement in machine-readable, object code form and any modifications made by Seller thereto (“Software”), but only in connection with the configuration of the Products and operating system for which the Software is ordered and for the end-use purpose stated in the related Seller operating documentation. Buyer agrees that neither it nor any third party shall modify, reverse engineer, decompile or reproduce the Software, without Seller’s prior written consent, except for making a single copy for backup or archival purposes in accordance with the related Seller operating documentation, and provided that Seller's confidential and proprietary legend is included. Except to the extent that the parties otherwise agree in writing, Buyer’s license to use the copy of such Software shall terminate upon breach of this license or Agreement by Buyer, including, without limitation, breach of payment or confidentiality obligations. All copies of the Software are the property of Seller, and all copies for which the license is terminated shall be returned to Seller promptly after termination. (b) Buyer may not transfer this software license and warranty to a third party without Seller’s previous written consent, signed by a Seller authorized representative. (c) Seller warrants that on the date of shipment of the Software only to Buyer or Buyer’s Seller-authorized transferee hereunder that: (1) the Software media contain a true and correct copy of the Software and are free from material defects; (2) Seller has the right to grant the license hereunder; and (3) the Software will function substantially in accordance with the related Seller operating documentation. Seller disclaims any warranty that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free. This warranty does not apply to software delivered by Seller but produced by others. The warranty for software produced by others shall be the warranty as stated by the software producer. (d) If within six months (6) months from date of initial installation (but not more than one year from date of shipment by Seller to Buyer) of Software, Buyer discovers that the Software is not as warranted above and promptly notifies Seller in writing, within this period of time, of the nonconformity, and if Seller cannot correct the nonconformity or deems correction to be commercially impracticable or prohibitively expensive, Buyer’s and Buyer’s Seller-authorized transferee’s exclusive remedies, at Seller’s option and expense, are: (1) replacement of the nonconforming Software; or (2) termination of this license and a refund of an equitable, pro rata share of the contract price or license fee paid. (e) If any infringement and trade secret claims are made against Buyer based on the Buyer’s use of the Software in a manner specified or approved by Seller, Seller shall: (i) defend against any suit or proceeding brought by an unaffiliated third party against Buyer to the extent the suit or proceeding is based on a claim that the Software or that the specified or approved use of the Software infringes a United States patent, a copyright or violates a trade secret agreement in which Seller was a party and provided that Seller is notified promptly in writing and given the necessary authority, information and assistance for the defense and settlement of such suit or proceeding (including the sole authority to select counsel and remove the Software or stop accused infringing usage); (ii) Seller shall satisfy any settlement or final judgment (after any appeals) for damages entered against Buyer in such suit; and (iii) if such settlement prohibits or judgment enjoins Buyer from using the Software, Seller shall at its option: (a) obtain for Buyer the right to continue using such Software; (b) eliminate the infringement by replacing or modifying the Software, or (c) take back such Software and refund to Buyer all payments on the purchase price which Seller has received, in which case neither Buyer nor Seller will have any claim against the other under this Agreement or arising out of the subject matter of this Agreement. However, Seller’s obligations with respect to infringement and trade secret claims will not apply to the extent that the claim or adverse final judgment is based on: (1) Buyer’s running of the Software after being notified to discontinue running due to such a claim; (2) the combination of the Software with a non-Seller software, product, data or process; (3) damages attributable to the value of the use of a non-Seller software, product, data, or process; (4) Buyer’s alteration of the Software; (5) Buyer’s distributed the Software to, or its use for the benefit of, any third party; or (6) Buyer’s acquiring a trade secret (a) through improper means; (b) under circumstances giving rise to a duty to maintain its secrecy or limit its use; or (c) from a person (other than Seller) who owed to the party asserting the claim a duty to maintain the secrecy or limit the use of the trade secret. Buyer will reimburse Seller for any costs or damages that result from these actions 1 to 6. If Seller receives information about an infringement claim related to the Software, Seller may do any of the following, at its expense and without obligation to do so: (i) procure the right to continue use of the Software, (ii) replace the Software with a functional equivalent and (iii) modify the Software to make it non-infringing (including disabling the challenged functionality and under circumstances (ii) and (iii) Buyer will stop running the allegedly infringing software immediately). (f) This warranty will apply for the period specified in (d) above, provided that: (1) the Software is not modified, changed, or altered by anyone other than Seller or its suppliers, unless authorized by Seller in writing; (2) there is no change by anyone other than Seller to the goods for which the Software is ordered; (3) the goods are in good operating order and are installed in a suitable operating environment; (4) the nonconformity is not caused by Buyer or any of their agents, servants, employees, or contractors, or any third party; (5) Buyer promptly notifies Seller in writing, within the period of time set forth in (d) above, of the nonconformity after it is discovered; and (6) all fees for the Software due to Seller have been paid. SELLER HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH REGARD TO THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, COURSE OF DEALING AND USAGE OF TRADE. (g) Buyer and successors of Buyer are limited to the remedies specified in this paragraph 10 and shall have no others for a nonconformity in the Software. Buyer agrees that these remedies provide Buyer and its successors with a minimum adequate remedy and are their exclusive remedies, whether Buyer’s or successors’ remedies are based on contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability, indemnity, or any other legal theory, and whether arising out of warranties, representations, instructions, operating documentation, installations, or non-conformities from any cause. (h) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, the fees for this Software license are included in the purchase price of the Products. Any subsequent modifications or enhancements to the Software made by Seller are, at Seller’s option, subject to a fee. 11. TERMINATION Buyer may only terminate its order upon written notice to Seller and upon payment to Seller of Seller’s termination charges, which shall be specified to Buyer and shall take into account among other things expenses (direct and indirect) incurred and commitments already made by Seller and an appropriate profit; provided, that in no event shall Seller’s termination charges be less than 25% of the contract price. Seller shall have the right to suspend and/or terminate its obligations under this Agreement if payment is not received within 30 days of due date. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of Buyer or in the event of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding brought by or against Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to terminate any order outstanding at any time during the period allowed for filing claims against the estate and shall receive reimbursement for its cancellation charges. 12. CONFIDENTIALITY Buyer acknowledges that the information which Seller submits to Buyer in connection with this quotation, acknowledgment or performance of this Agreement includes Seller’s confidential and proprietary information, both of a technical and commercial nature. Buyer agrees not to disclose such information to third parties without Seller’s prior written consent. Seller grants to Buyer a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use Seller’s confidential and proprietary information for purposes of this Agreement and the Products that are the subject hereof only. Buyer further agrees not to permit any third party to fabricate the Products or any parts thereof from Seller’s drawings or to use the drawings other than in connection with this Agreement. Buyer will defend and indemnify Seller from any claim, suit or liability based on personal injury (including death) or property damage related to any Product or part thereof which is fabricated by a third party without Seller’s prior written consent and from and against related costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys fees). All copies of Seller’s drawings shall remain Seller’s property and may be reclaimed by Seller at any time.
13. END USER If Buyer is not the end user of the Products sold hereunder (the “End User”), then Buyer will use its best efforts to obtain the End User’s written consent to be bound to Seller by the provisions hereof. If Buyer does not obtain such End User’s consent, Buyer shall defend and indemnify Seller and Seller’s agents, employees, subcontractors and suppliers from any action, liability, cost, loss, or expense for which Seller would not have been liable or from which Seller would have been indemnified if Buyer had obtained such End User’s consent. 14. FORCE MAJEURE (a) Force Majeure Defined. For the purpose of this Agreement “Force Majeure” will mean all unforeseeable events, beyond the reasonable control of either party which affect the performance of this Agreement, including, without limitation, acts of God, acts or advisories of governmental or quasi-governmental authorities, laws or regulations, strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances, acts of public enemy, wars, insurrections, riots, epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks of infectious disease or other threats to public health, lightning, earthquakes, fires, storms, severe weather, floods, sabotage, delays in transportation, rejection of main forgings and castings, lack of available shipping by land, sea or air, lack of dock lighterage or loading or unloading facilities, inability to obtain labor or materials from usual sources, serious accidents involving the work of suppliers or sub-suppliers, thefts and explosions. (b) Suspension of Obligations. If either Buyer or Seller is unable to carry out its obligations under this Agreement due to Force Majeure, other than the obligation to make payments due hereunder, and the party affected promptly notifies the other of such delay, then all obligations that are affected by Force Majeure will be suspended or reduced for the period of Force Majeure and for such additional time as is required to resume the performance of its obligations, and the delivery schedule will be adjusted to account for the delay. (c) Option to Terminate. If the period of suspension or reduction of operations will extend for more than four (4) consecutive months or periods of suspension or reduction total more than six (6) months in any twelve (12) month period, then either Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement. 15. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE (a) Indemnification. Seller agrees to defend and indemnify Buyer from and against any third-party claim for bodily injury or physical property damage (“Loss”) arising in connection with the Products provided by Seller hereunder or the work performed by Seller hereunder, but only to the extent such Loss has been caused by the negligence, willful misconduct or other legal fault (“Fault”) of Seller. Buyer shall promptly tender the defense of any such third-party claim to Seller. Seller shall be entitled to control the defense and resolution of such claim, provided that Buyer shall be entitled to be represented in the matter by counsel of its choosing at Buyer’s sole expense.

(b) Insurance. Seller shall maintain commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and in the aggregate covering claims for bodily injury (including death) and physical property damage arising out of the Products. Seller will provide a Certificate of Insurance certifying the existence of such coverages upon request. 16.
