[...]HUBER deliver and install their innovative DfMA containerised Sludge thickener solution. We developed this containerised S-DISC solution because we saw a great opportunity to provide customers with: A plug & play package so the client would not need to source from different suppliers whilst incurring additional cost & risk when integrating multiple suppliers’ kit Fully assemble & test in our works to reduce site commissioning phase, optimisation and handover time Offer reduced project delivery times through repeatability A solution that met water company specifications & was designed with ease of operation and maintenance in mind A UK standard solution with repeatability The containerised S-DISC solution comprises of everything necessary to provide a cost effective, small footprint, plug and play sludge thickening plant: The S-DISC1 sludge thickener & flocculation reactor. Polymer mixing & injection ring. Polymer make up & dosing plant. Thin & thickened sludge pumps. Sludge flow meter. All interconnecting pipework. Control panel & all interconnecting cabling. Telemetry marshalling box. Ventilation fan. The above components are fitted to a GMS skid, which is then slid into a purpose-built container that is designed to provide all round access for maintenance. Flanges are built into the container to allow easy connection for feed & thickened sludge, filtrate, washwater, dilution water (poly) & polymer feed. There is also a drain connection on the outside of the container in case of spillage of polymer within the rig. There is also a simple connection for the electrical power supply cabling. This approach enables us to test and ‘dry’ commission the plant before despatch. This means that once the necessary service inputs are connected the plant can be made operational, optimised (wet commissioned) and handed over to the end user far quicker than is normally the case. HUBER’s DfMA solutions offer many operational and bottom-line business benefits to customers Reduced costs Cost certainty Repeatability Improved quality/less waste or reworking Lower health & safety risks Reduced risk due to fewer & easier to manage design & construction interfaces Smoother handover (commissioning/optimisation) Operator & maintenance staff familiarity All prewired, fitted and tested prior to delivery Savings in both time and cost compared to conventionally installed solutions Smaller carbon footprint – Net-Zero Looking forward to AMP8, HUBER feel that standardised modular solutions like DfMA will likely be the only practical way forward for some of the solutions customers will be looking for on their sites – to meet certain outputs with tighter regulatory requirements and demanding deadlines. In addition to the benefits of potentially major cost reductions, DfMA offers them the capability to roll out modular standard solutions at pace to meet their statutory obligations. When you add in the fact that in PR24 Ofwat is also looking to the water companies to implement low carbon solutions, it also provides them with the opportunity to deliver significant carbon reductions. Please get in touch if you would like further information on this Sludge thickening DfMA solution.[...]

[...]Innovative solutions to increase water and energy efficiency HUBER will be presenting many exciting products and solutions for drinking water supply, wastewater treatment and sludge treatment at IFAT 2024 from 13 to 17 May. On a stand area of over 1,300 m² (hall 2, stand 351) HUBER will be exhibiting numerous technology highlights in the form of machines and plants, complemented by videos and animations. Many of the company's experienced specialists will be on hand for national and international visitors and customers to provide advice and information. IFAT 18 Fourth treatment stage and phosphorus elimination The new EU Urban Wastewater Directive makes the discharge criteria for many municipal wastewater treatment plants much more demanding. The focus is particularly on the extensive elimination of dissolved organic micropollutants (fourth treatment stage) and the increased reduction of phosphorus inputs into water bodies. HUBER offers the right solutions for these requirements with its harmonised product portfolio of cloth filtration, sand filtration and activated carbon adsorption. The newly developed HUBER Pile Cloth Media Filter RotaFilt® size 2200 mm will be shown for the first time at IFAT 2024. Innovative pile fabrics serve as filter media. For the adsorptive removal of micropollutants, the HUBER Activated Carbon Filter CONTIFLOW® GAK is available. Its efficiency can be further increased by combining it with upstream ozonisation. Digitalisation One of HUBER’s focal points is the topic of digitalisation . The company uses various examples to show how digital solutions are increasingly finding their way into the water industry. HUBER will be demonstrating how the HUBER Cloud Solution can be used to analyse machine and process data in real time and what comprehensive services and benefits it can offer plant operators. Visitors can also gain initial experience with the new HUBER online shop . Various HUBER products such as manhole covers can be configured and ordered here. The ordering of spare parts is also particularly interesting. After registering, operators of HUBER machines can find exactly the right spare parts for their machines here. Mechanical sludge treatment In addition to machine technology for sludge screening and sludge thickening, the main focus here is on the dewatering of sewage sludge. The HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® is successfully in use worldwide and will be presented at IFAT in different sizes. The machines are continuously optimised by HUBER and offer best dewatering performance at highest energy efficiency. The simplicity of operation, ease of maintenance and the small footprint are further plus factors of this machine. The advantages of connecting the Screw Press to the HUBER Cloud Solution will also be demonstrated to visitors. Thermal sludge treatment In the field of solar sewage sludge drying, HUBER relies on the HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE® in the numerous projects it has completed. It is also installed on the world's largest solar sludge drying plant in Bahr El-Baqar (Egypt), which is now in operation. Impressions of the dimensions of this plant can be gained from an impressive video. The newly developed HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner ® will be presented for the first time at IFAT. This innovative sludge turner does not need any walls but can run directly on the floor of the solar drying plant. This results in considerable time and cost savings for the construction work. The HUBER Belt Dryer BT is an alternative to solar sewage sludge drying. Due to its modular design, the belt dryer can be adapted to on-site conditions both in terms of energy and construction. Innovative concepts for heat extraction from the drying process also enable maximum energy recovery. This energy can be fed into a local heating network, for example, or used at the sewage treatment plant to heat the digester. Interesting videos as well as operating data and operating experiences from numerous nationally and internationally executed dryer projects await the visitors. The HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® presented for the first time at IFAT 2022 completes the HUBER product portfolio with contact drying. The disc dryer can, for example, dry the sewage sludge of a mono-incineration plant to the ideal dry residue content. Thus, the incineration can be operated in a self-sustaining and energy-efficient way. The excess steam from the electricity production is used as heating medium. A reliable condensate removal system, innovative control and optimised feeding make the HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry ® the perfect sewage sludge dryer for subsequent incineration. Interested visitors will have the opportunity to talk to HUBER experts about their experiences from first completed projects. Mechanical wastewater treatment As the global market leader in mechanical wastewater treatment, HUBER will of course also show the latest developments of its screening systems . In addition to the latest version of the world-renowned HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® , which will be shown in different versions, HUBER will also exhibit the unique HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® CF . This innovative screen opens up completely new possibilities in the field of mechanical wastewater treatment as it features a worldwide unique U-shaped bar rack through which the wastewater flows from inside to outside. Other exhibits include the HUBER Belt Screen EscaMax® , the HUBER Coarse Screen TrashMax® as well as the HUBER Rotary Drum Fine Screen ROTAMAT® Ro2 and the HUBER Fine Screen ROTAMAT® Ro1 . As another highlight, HUBER will present the worldwide unique HUBER Safety Vision system in live operation at IFAT. This is an innovative system of contaminant detection for screens. High-tech sensors continuously measure the form and size of the coarse material transported by the screen rake. Whenever the system detects that any critical coarse material is present, the screen will be stopped and a corresponding warning message sent to the plant operator. This reliably prevents an unintentional blockage or damage to the screen or downstream units. Furthermore, the system is able to record in real time the amount of screenings separated and discharged. HUBER also offers comprehensive solutions for screenings treatment . The centrepiece is the HUBER Wash Press WAP® , which has proven itself in thousands of installations and will be shown in various versions at IFAT. The innovative WAP® wear detection system is now an integral part of all HUBER Wash Presses and enables reliable wear monitoring. Unplanned and expensive machine downtime can thus be replaced by planned maintenance. As a specialist for solid-liquid separation, HUBER has also been dealing with grit separation and grit treatment for decades. Interested visitors can learn about different types of grit traps as well as machines and processes for further grit treatment. The change from aerobic to anaerobic sludge stabilisation plays a decisive role on the way to an energy self-sufficient wastewater treatment plant. With the HUBER CarbonWin® process, HUBER offers an interesting option for this conversion. The centrepiece of the process is the HUBER Drum Screen LIQUID , which is used here as a replacement for a primary clarifier. Industrial wastewater treatment In another focus area, HUBER shows the public its experience and expertise as a full-range supplier for industrial wastewater treatment . With a comprehensive portfolio of products and solutions, HUBER offers industrial customers full “360° support” for wastewater, residues and heat. Heating and cooling with wastewater The utilisation of wastewater as a regenerative energy source has been a topic for HUBER for many years and numerous projects have been carried out worldwide using the HUBER ThermWin process. The utilisation of wastewater in the sewage system for heating and cooling of buildings is an interesting solution on the way to climate neutrality. The centrepiece is the HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin , which will be presented as an exhibit at IFAT. NEW – containerised plants and rental machines In addition to permanent installations in buildings, HUBER now also offers solutions in containerised design as permanent installations or for rental for temporary operation, bridging or simply for quick and flexible use in case of bottlenecks. Such containerised or rental plants are either equipped with HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation HDF for preliminary or secondary treatment of wastewater, with a HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS ® for sludge dewatering or with HUBER screening technology. At IFAT, a ready-to-operate HUBER containerised sludge dewatering plant will be on display as a plug & play solution. Equipped with the complete technology, the plant is mobile and ready for immediate use, for temporary rental or permanent operation.
