Drying process consumes great amount of energy, but, by attaching the evaporation-dehydration system called VCC (Vapor Compression and Condensation), energy consumption can be reduced significantly. VCC is an open-type heat pump cycle uses water. ln this study, authors take up a granulating-drying system for sewage disposal process. It is called as case-A as a reference. The adaptability of the VCC to the system is evaluated by comparing two sets of process, case-B and C. Case-B is the cascading combination of the VCC and the granulating-drying system. VCC preprocess the dehydrating process in order to relaxing the drying-load of existing centrifugal hydro-extractor. Then, to enhance the energy recovery in the process, the integrated process was derived by pinch method; that is case-C. These three cases are compared with primary energy consumption. As a result, compared with Case-A, primary energy consumption of Case-B is reduced 42.8%, and Case-C is reduced 50.5%.
