Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014154466A1] Process, and associated device, for continuous thermal hydrolysis of sludge containing organic matter, said process comprising the steps consisting in: simultaneously carrying out the injection of pressurized steam (100) into said sludge and the mixing of said sludge with said steam by means of a dynamic injector-mixer (4) so as to obtain a single-phase mixture, conveying said single-phase mixture to a pressurized tubular reactor (5) and bringing about the plug flow of this mixture in said reactor for a sufficient residence time and at a sufficient temperature to enable the thermal hydrolysis of the organic matter present in said sludge, cooling said single-phase mixture at its outlet from said tubular reactor to a temperature that allows the subsequent digestion of the hydrolysed organic matter that it contains; depressurizing said cooled single-phase mixture.
