To obtain the drying rate of sewage sludge for use in design of a conductive indirect-heating dryer with agitation, the drying characteristics of sewage sludge from three different wastewater treatment plants were investigated with a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) in isothermal conditions. Temperature and sample mass were considered as experimental variables. The drying mechanism agreed well with the shrinking core model dominated by the kinetic rate. The activation energy of drying was 17.30 kJ/g mol. A rate equation was proposed for drying of sewage sludge.
