In the spring of 2015, Pegust delivered a microwave dryer to dry waste and sewage sludge to a company in the offshore industry.
The drying equipment eliminated bacteria by hygienization and reduced weight and volume down to 20%, thereof could be handled in a simple, cost-effective and environmentally friendly way.
Normally, the sewage sludge is classified as hazardous waste that requires special handling, but after drying, the bacteria level in the waste is reduced, which is then classified as normal
waste.
