Industrial drying techniques are successfully used processes. They are usually used for the production of base materials for industries such as food, chemical and pharmaceutical. These processes can be transferred without any difficulty for the drying of sewage sludge. Thermal drying as a process for the purpose of water removal is an important link in waste management between sludge production and sludge disposal. Two systems, convection and contact drying, are here compared. Contact drying in the thin film evaporation process is explained. Explanation and proposed uses of the single and two-stage drying systems will be discussed. Finally a short review of incurred expenses will be given.

Contact drying of fabric was studied using a two-roll steam-heated laundry calender. The effects on heat and mass transfer of steam temperature, fabric initial moisture content, fabric velocity, contact pressure and steam-side heat transfer coefficient were observed experimentally. Bed and roller surface temperature profiles were measured to assist in interpreting and subsequently analysing the drying process. The experimental results were correlated using dimensionless parameters derived from a dimensional analysis of a drying equation. An empirical expression was obtained that related the final moisture content of the fabric to the initial moisture content and the other pertinent physical variables.
