“…The results presented in this section indicate that, at the evaluated conditions, the DS content of the sludge was increased up to approximately 30%, corresponding to a volume reduction of 83%. However, by simply increasing the irradiation exposure time, a DS content of 95% can be achieved, as also reported by other authors (Chen et al 2014;Kocbek et al 2020;Mawioo et al 2016b). MW-specific energy expenditures of 5.5 MJ kg −1 (1.5 kWh kg −1 ) are required for drying the sludge (up to 95% DS), which is comparable to energy expenditures on conventional sludge dryers (Kocbek et al 2020).…”

“…Considering this value, the specific energy consumed during the drying process would be almost double that reported in this study (8.6 MJ kg −1 or 2.4 kWh kg −1 ). Moreover, as indicated in the "Sanitization of sludge using MW-based technology" section and also as reported by Kocbek et al (2020), the higher the MW power output, the higher the power absorbed by the material being dried, minimizing the possibility of energy losses occurring somewhere in the system and, therefore, increasing the energy efficiency of the MW drying system. Thus, operating the system at the highest nominal power capacity maximizes the MW energy efficiency and leads to a reduction in the specific energy output required to dry the material.…”

“…Municipal sewage sludge is a by-product of the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater [1,2]. Sewage sludge constitutes only 1-2 vol.% of treated wastewater, but its management is very complicated, and treatment costs amount to 20-60% of wastewater treatment plants' (WWTPs') total operating costs [3].…”

“…ідповідно, у риб'ячого клею є одразу декілька галузей для застосування. ікрохвильове випромінювання використовується для інтенсифікації масообмінних процесів вченими у різних галузях та країнах світу, зокрема: в процесах екстрагування у Франції [7] та алайзії [ ], Ірландії [9], у процесах сушіння та зневоднення у Китаї [10], Нідерландах та Словенії [11], алайзії та ольщі [12], унісі [13]. З використанням мікрохвильового поля для зневоднення вже проводились успішні дослідження вченими кафедри процесів, обладнання та енергетичного менеджменту деської національної академії харчових технологій зі зневоднення овочевих та фруктових соків та екстрактів [14], білкових продуктів [1 ].…”
