Dairy industry wastewater treatment sludge consists of high organic content. The calorific value of
wastewater treatment sludge ensures the use of these wastes as an alternative energy resource. New
technologies and alternative energy resources have been researched due to ever-increasing need for energy and limited available energy resources in the world. Pyrolysis is one of the thermochemical
technologies for converting biomass into energy and chemical products consisting of liquid bio-oil, solid
biochar, and syngas. This study investigated the change in synthesis gas compounds obtained from the
pyrolysis of dairy industry wastewater sludge according to the temperature (500C, 750C) different
particle size (<0,5 cm, 1-5 cm, 5-10 cm). The highest calorific value of synthesis gas obtained from the
tests was calculated as 4394 kcal/m3 with 1-5 cm particle size and at 7500C. Synthesis gas concentration
and calorific values obtained from dairy industry waste water sludge supported that this waste could be
used as an alternative energy resource.
