Where Should Sludge Go During the Epidemic

At the end of 2019, a sudden outbreak of the novel coronavirus from Wuhan ravaged the land of China. From sealing off a city, to sealing off a road, to sealing off a county, and finally sealing off every household; all citizens stayed indoors, and all angels in white fought bloody battles day and night. Although the whole country's efforts were pooled to help Wuhan, the daily rising number of confirmed cases and deaths still caused widespread panic among the general public, with rumors spreading everywhere.

It was supposed to be the travel rush for returning home for the New Year, yet few pedestrians were on the roads; it was supposed to be the return-to-work rush, yet all shops and enterprises were closed. These were all news that everyone saw on TV and phones every day, but there were still many unsung acts of dedication that were not reported.

Everyone knows that the rapid spread of the epidemic was due to the high transmissibility of the novel coronavirus, and each city had a place where a large amount of the virus gathered: sewage treatment plants. Sewage treatment plants received sewage treatment requests from all walks of life in the city every day. Think about it carefully, among these were sewage from hospitals, restaurants, public restrooms, and other places - which of these did not harbor the novel coronavirus? What was even more frightening was that the sludge after treatment, which could previously be transported and disposed of, now, with the severe epidemic and various closures of roads and enterprises closed without resuming work, the sludge could not be transported out - let alone the virus-laden sludge! If not handled properly, a larger and more terrible source of pollution could emerge. So, during this special period, who dared to receive it? And which enterprise had the capability to process it?

At this critical moment, Hunan Dingjiu Energy & Environment Technology Co., Ltd.'s integrated continuous sludge carbonization furnace equipment came at the right time, rescuing them from the fire and flood. The carbonization technology of the integrated continuous sludge carbonization furnace can carry out high-temperature cracking reactions at above 500°C, ensuring 100% inactivation of various bacteria and viruses, more reliable and stable than traditional composting and anaerobic technologies. It not only carbonizes the sludge inside the sewage treatment plant, but also yields biochar with no polluting properties, and the process is completely harmless to the surrounding environment. Hunan Dingjiu's project at Xingsha North Sewage Treatment Plant processed dozens of tons of sludge daily for the plant, solving the big problem of the plant's sludge not being transportable and ensuring its normal operation.

Because this epidemic struck fiercely and coincided with the 2019 Spring Festival, during this time of family reunion and celebration, the operation team in charge of the company's carbonization furnace equipment, under the premise of doing all epidemic prevention and control work, continued to work normally without rest during the Spring Festival holiday, continuously processing sludge. Operating in three shifts a day, they never dared to delay, maintaining the normal operation of the equipment to process sludge for the plant, removing any lingering worries.

Although this epidemic is fierce and has brought great inconvenience to our work and life, because we are the Chinese nation that has emerged from hardships, we dare to face and solve any danger head-on. So this time, we are not afraid. Although we are not well-known, it does not affect Hunan Dingjiu's contribution to the country's fight against the epidemic in our own way. We believe that with everyone united and working together, we will surely win this battle without gunpowder in the near future.
