The aim of study was to estimate the sanitization effectiveness of the sludge solar drying process carried out on technical scale in Poland based on the inactivation of bacteria and parasite eggs. Sewage sludge samples inoculated withEscherichia coli,SalmonellaSenftenberg W775and enterococci and perlon bags containingAscaris suumeggs were placed inside the carriers fixed in the dried sludge pile and on the shovels and frame of the sludge turner. The number of reisolated microorganisms was determined with MPN method and the percentage of invasiveA. suumeggs—with the microscope counting. On the basis of regression equations, the theoretical survivability and elimination rate of bacteria and parasite eggs were calculated. Experiment showed low hygienization efficiency of solar drying method. The theoretical survival time was 46–104 days in summer and 90–98 days in winter forS.Senftenberg W775and, respectively 42–55 and 71–148 days forE. coli, depending on the carriers location. Enterococci were able to survive for 52–168 days in summer and in winter its number increased. The decrease in the percentage of invasiveA. suumeggs was almost not observed. Results indicated that solar drying is a technology, which does not guarantee biosafety of product.

<span lang="EN-US">The most important benefit of solar energy is renewable and low pollutant source of energy (clean energy). Solar energy technology and research are developing fast and much of the technology needed for these applications in industry and agricultures is already available. Solar drying technology (SDT) is one of the most attractive and promising applications of solar energy technology. In this paper, the various performances of SDTs in Indonesia are summarized with details. Generally, the cabinet-type and tunnel-type SDTs are remarkably well suited to drying small quantities of vegetables and fruit on the household scale. Greenhouse and hybrid SDTs are suitable for use on a large scale by industries.</span>

The aim of this work is to develop thermal modeling of the olive mill wastewater drying process in a greenhouse solar dryer. A configuration was thus proposed and simulated using the commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics in order to solve the conservation equations governing our problem. The resulting simulations are used to evaluate the temperature, velocity, and vapor mass fraction distributions after hours of sunshine and to provide a quantification of the drying process. The influence of the greenhouse effect on the drying kinetics is highlighted by comparing to open sun-drying results. The effect of some greenhouse geometric characteristics and external meteorological conditions are studied.
