[...]Reduced disposal costs Less than 3 % organic content Very high solids content of > 90 % Easy to retrofit after existing grit classifiers Conventional grit separation Conventional grit classifiers separate virtually all solids contained in the grit trap effluent. This classified and partly dewatered grit is usually more or less contaminated with organic particles. Subsequent grit washing The classified grit is therefore further treated in the subsequent grit washer where the organics are separated from the mineral particles. Design and Function Due to a defined introduction of upwardly directed [...]
[...]Germany In times of global uncertainty, rising raw material prices and growing environmental requirements, the recycling of plastics is becoming increasingly important. However, producing new materials from fossil fuels is often still cheaper than recycling. This makes the quality of the recycled material and the cost-effectiveness of the entire plastic recycling process all the more crucial. This is precisely where HUBER comes in. Our technologies for treating process water and sludge provide the basis for sustainable and economical recycling processes. Advantages of HUBER technology based on [...]
[...]Villach, Austria For many decades, the coarse screens designed as direct current screens served their purpose in the Villach sewage treatment plant, which has a capacity of 250,000 PE. During rainfall events, it often happened that the resulting amounts of screenings could no longer be conveyed because the single rake was unable to hold them. The reason for this was that the clearing interval lasted more than one minute – a circumstance that led to the accumulation of screenings in front of the screen during a flushing surge, which in turn often resulted in the collapse of the screening system. [...]
[...]HUBER Screw Conveyor in a closed tube Transport of coarse, fine and compacted screenings, sludge, grit, and solids from industrial processes Customized designed for horizontal, inclined and even vertical transport The HUBER Screw Conveyors are installed for horizontal, inclined and even vertical transport of screenings, dewatered sludge, grit etc. from wastewater treatment plants, or other solids from industrial processes. Gentle movement in an enclosed pipe prevents odor nuisance and dust development. Design and Function The HUBER Screw Conveyors are custom made for the individual product to be [...]
[...]Parsberg, Germany The town of Parsberg lies in the heart of the Bavarian Jura between Nuremberg and Regensburg. It is particularly popular with tourists as a local recreation area and thanks to its perfect connection to the Five Rivers Cycle Route. The Parsberg sewage treatment plant is located in the valley alongside the Schwarze Laber river. It has a mechanical, biological and chemical treatment stage and is designed for up to 13,300 PE. A two-storey building was specifically constructed on the hilly terrain for local sludge dewatering, which was a conscious decision by the town of Parsberg.[...]
[...]Regen, Germany The town Regen in the administrative district of Lower Bavaria, is also known as a climatic health resort and boasts numerous sights, buildings and natural monuments. Regular events include the annual Pichelsteiner Festival. Named after a traditional dish, it has grown to become the largest festival in the Bavarian Forest and a major attraction in the region. This makes it all the more important to have a fully functional 24-hour wastewater treatment plant, such as the Regen STP, in place for every event. Energy-efficient and powerful sludge dewatering The outdated and [...]
[...]Bickenbach, Germany After around three years of construction, the quaternary treatment stage at the Bickenbach wastewater treatment plant was officially commissioned on 2 April in the presence of numerous representatives from business and politics. The quaternary treatment stage in Bickenbach treats up to 150 litres of wastewater per second and will in future reliably retain the largest proportion of hazardous and persistent micropollutants such as pharmaceutical residues, hormones, biocides and household chemicals. Minister Hofmann: ‘Today is a good day for Bickenbach, for the whole region, for [...]
[...]Munich, Germany As part of Munich's Education Construction Initiative, Germany's largest municipal education construction programme, it was decided in 2020 to build a new daycare centre with three nursery groups in the Freimann/Kleinlappen district. The chosen location was an undeveloped plot of land on Josef-Wirth-Weg. A special feature of the building site is a sewer that runs slightly elevated in a dam to the north of the property. This sewer is not just a simple collection channel, but one of the main inflows to Munich's Gut Großlappen sewage treatment plant. Sustainability was a guiding [...]
[...]Quarzbichl, Germany Quarzbichl, a material extraction and marketing company, provides municipal waste management services for the districts of Bad Tölz and Wolfratshausen. It also processes compost into high-quality soil on site. The surface wastewater produced is collected in an intermediate storage tank and treated for direct discharge into the Loisach River. The HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plant HDF process was chosen because the wastewater is almost exclusively contaminated with particles, the process effectively separates suspended solids from clear water without blockages, and the resulting[...]
[...]Wittenberge, Germany The Wittenberge municipal utilities have set itself the goal of making the heat supply for the city in north-western Brandenburg and its surrounding districts largely climate-neutral by 2045. As part of municipal heating planning, various options for expanding and decarbonising the heating network are being investigated. River water as a source of energy A first step in this direction was completed at the end of last year with the construction of a new heating plant featuring a heat pump system, an electric boiler and a CHP unit. The heat pumps use water from the Stepenitz[...]
