While dewatering and drying technologies are widely accessible, sludge combustion remains challenging due to regulatory and technical barriers. In fact, although over 40 mono-incineration plants exist in Europe, none are located in Italy. However, Fidia Engineering, leveraging extensive international experience, offers reliable expertise for clients seeking to further reduce the volume of dried sludge. We support the project from design to supply and installation, providing safe, efficient, and customised solutions.
Fluidised bed furnaces
For sludge monoincineration plants, we offer fluidized bed furnaces, an effective technology for the combustion of materials with uniform particle size, such as sewage sludge and RDF. The fluidized bed uses sand as a support material and an air current that acts as both an oxidizer and a fluidizer.
How does it work? Air is blown into the furnace through nozzles, transitioning from a fixed bed state to a fluidized bed, and finally to a circulating bed. This results in homogeneous combustion without the need for post-combustion chambers or additional pollutant abatement treatments. Furthermore, the system ensures temperature control and high combustion efficiency, avoiding local overheating and limiting the formation of NOx. For this reason, the fluidized bed is particularly suitable for the treatment of sludge with a constant load and controlled particle size.
In short, fluidized bed technology represents an advanced solution for monoincineration, offering high efficiency and optimal emissions management.

SLUDGE – COMBUSTION
Supply and installation of a combustion plant for purification sludge (both biological and chemical-physical) of a petrochemical plant, mixed with off-specification hydrocarbons. The system consists of a storage tank for the sludge to be treated and a reaction chamber consisting of an inclined rotary kiln and a post-combustion chamber. The system is completed with the fume treatment section consisting of Jet-Venturi, Scrubber and Wet electro-filter.
