[...]Over the past ten years HUBER Screw Press units have become the worldwide leading products among the screw presses on the market. Numerous experiences with screw presses on almost thousand installations in various fields of application and long-term trust-based contacts to many plant operators result now in an extensive improvement in screw press efficiency. The new Q-PRESS® excels for several features: Axially dividable filter baskets are optionally available, they facilitate maintenance work significantly. Massive components, such as the screw shaft and some filter elements, can remain in the machine during inspections. Much less space and time is therefore required for maintenance. Even if non-dividable filter baskets are used space requirements for maintenance on the installation place are now reduced to the minimum that is necessary for machine operation and inspection. The outer surface of the cylindrical filter baskets has previously been cleaned by rotating the filter baskets along a stationary nozzle bar while the dewatering process has been interrupted. The new screw press provides the option of continuous dewatering without interruptions through a rotating washing system that rotates around the filter baskets. Dewatering degree and machine throughput are no longer influenced by interruptions or starts/stops of the washing systems. In contrast to many competitive machines the rotating washing system allows for independent cleaning of the filter surfaces of the inlet and press zone. In addition, the upper and lower filter halves can be cleaned separately so that only the contaminated filter surface sections are cleaned. Filter surface sections which have been cleaned cannot be contaminated again by wash water that runs down. This system significantly reduces the water demand for filter cleaning and additionally minimizes rewetting of the sludge cake through washing. Reliable cleaning of the inner screen basket surfaces is just as important as cleaning of the outer surfaces. The inner surfaces are typically cleaned by a scraper that is mounted on the screw flights and wipes clear the inner filter surface as the screw shaft rotates. The efficiency of this scraping and wiping operation has direct influence on filter resistance and the water discharge velocity of the screw press. Both have an influence on dewatering degree, throughput, filtrate quality, polymer demand, and thus on the operating costs for dewatering. After extensive development and test series HUBER screw presses are now equipped with a patented scraper material which cleans the inner filter surface much better and more reliably than customary brushes and lip seal systems. The scraper material is a product sold by metre which, contrary to competitive products, can easily be mounted on the screw shaft without time-consuming alignment. Well-proven for many years, wear-resistance and insensitive to clogging, wedge wire baskets with different bar spacings remain the basis for the three filter baskets of the screw press. What is new is that the open filter surfaces in the filter baskets have been increased by up to 100%. The individual screen sizes are therefore able to process significantly higher hydraulic loads without placing higher loads on the filter surfaces and thus the filtrate, and without increasing polymer demand. New drives exceed current energy efficiency standards. They save not only electricity costs, they also offer plant operators the possibility to operate their sludge dewatering unit much more flexibly due to significantly wider motor speed ranges. For good reasons, the basic appearance of the press, the inclined installation, remains as it has always been. The inclined design ensures that screenings removal units can in most cases be connected without the need to place it on an additional elevation. Furthermore, the inclination of the filtrate chambers prevents sedimentation and eliminates the need for manual cleaning work. Another decisive advantage of the inclined installation is improved dewatering efficiency. The separated filtrate flows off from the screen basket by gravity, against the flow direction of the press sludge. Rewetting of hydrophlic sludges through filtrate is thus reduced and the dewatering degree improved. Moreover, inclined installation facilitates especially the start-up procedure of the screw press. During the starting phase a uniform press cake is automatically produced within a very short time whereas horizontal screw presses need additional polymer to prevent breakthrough of thin sludge. The newest generation of HUBER screw presses excel especially for their variety of technical improvements which are also reflected by their appearance. The known rising silhouette has now much more distinctive lines and a colouring with a high recognition value. But, of course, design was not everything: The size of the maintenance openings which provide access to the filter surfaces and sludge discharge has been increased and even an additional access to the filter inside has been integrated. All supporting parts of the Q-PRESS® and parts in contact with medium are of course still made from stainless steel and manufactured exclusively in Germany.[...]

[...]Pulborough, UK Huber Technology completed the inlet screen upgrade at Pulborough STW, installing two HUBER Micro Strainer ROTAMAT® Ro9 / 700’s on an elevated inlet works. Project profile Working with BTU, Southern Water’s small projects delivery team, we looked at various options to replace the old worn out 25-mm Parkwood bar screen and screenings dewaterer. The P.E. for Pulborough was 8,352 and the consented FFT 62 l/s. Flows from the terminal pump station had been recorded up to 160 l/s and the existing screens were allowing unscreened influent into the balance to the storm tanks and the rags and other large items were blocking downstream pumps. 2x HUBER Micro Strainer ROTAMAT® Ro9 / 700 / 6 combined screens Control panels M&E installation Objective and solution The maximum size Ro9 / 700 was agreed and fitted to meet the maximum inflow of 160 l/s. It was also decided to fit two screens and remove the existing bypass bar screen. “ Working with BTU to delivery this project within budget and on time was a challenge for everyone. But, with good communication between BTU, Southern Water and Huber, the end result was a great success” commented Adrian Heneghan, HUBER Area Manager. Ricky Corkett, Southern Water site operator also commented that he was, “More than happy with the screens. Now I have time to work on other parts of the site and not have to worry about lifting and clearing pumps” . Media Gallery[...]

[...]Using wastewater heat for heating and cooling buildings Wastewater heat recovery Use of wastewater as a sink for cooling buildings Sustainable building heating CO 2 -free heating and cooling The supply for heating buildings and for local and district heating networks is usually provided by combined heat and power plants in which fossil fuels are burnt.

[...]Protecting technical facilities against flooding Both our rivers and watercourses and the technical drainage systems (sewers) can only absorb limited amounts of precipitation. Depending on the degree of sealing and other local conditions, flooding can then occur above a certain precipitation intensity. As climate change is causing more heavy rainfall, the probability of flooding is likely to increase in the future. A variety of flood prevention measures The best protection against flooding is to prevent situations of extreme flooding from occurring in the first place. Any measures that allow sufficient space for the water are of helpful here, since rivers need adequate floodplains and must not be technically constricted and straightened. Decentralised infiltration and deconstruction of sealed surfaces also help to reduce rainwater run-off into the sewage system. Technical flood protection Despite many efforts, it will not be possible to completely eliminate the risk of flooding in many regions. In these cases, however, it must be guaranteed that no people are endangered in the event of flooding and that damage to technical facilities is minimised. In addition, it must be ensured that important facilities such as of water supply and wastewater disposal can be maintained for as long as possible. For protection against flooding and backwater, we offer our flood-proof HUBER Manhole Covers as well as flood-proof technical doors for use in wastewater treatment plants, sewers, water supply systems, elevated reservoirs, manholes and buildings.[...]

[...]Shanghai, China Megacities and their problem with construction waste Example: Shanghai Beside Beijing and Hong Kong, Shanghai is one of the most important industrial locations and market places in the People’s Republic of China. In the recent years, the city has had a remarkable growth spurt. Fifty years ago, about seven million people were living in the metropolitan area Shanghai, today the city has more than 25 million inhabitants. Along with the city’s growth came innumerable building projects with huge amounts of construction waste and other waste products. More and more of such material inevitably ended up also in the sewer system where it settled and started to cause problems. As a preventive measure, the sediments in the sewers, such as debris and grit, are removed several times a year by suction trucks and transported to the sewage treatment works. But this procedure leads to batchwise overloading of machine components in the mechanical sewage treatment stage, such as screens or grit traps, which significantly impairs the function of these components. Ultimately, coarse particles end up in the primary clarifier with further negative impacts on the complete sewage treatment works. To avoid these problems, the raw material delivered by the suction trucks can be treated centrally in a decoupled grit treatment plant to remove undesired coarse particles, wash out the mineral fraction and discharge the pre-treated raw material into the inlet to the sewage treatment plant. This offers the plant operator several benefits: Reduced solids load within the sewage treatment plant Avoid operational problems caused by solids load peaks Reduced disposal volumes due to the organics being washed out from the raw material The fact that quite a number of such projects have been executed meanwhile in Shanghai proves that it makes perfectly sense for megacities to use external treatment systems. In Shanghai city alone, and within only five years, one or several such systems have been installed in each of the districts Pudong, Minhang, Yangpu, Chongming and Jinshan to reduce the loads on the sewage treatment plants. The concept of these projects is always based on the same principle: Continuous and dosed acceptance of raw material by a grabber and HUBER grit acceptance tank with integrated HUBER Grit Dosing Screw RoSF7 Coarse material separation and washout in a HUBER Wash Drum RoSF9 Grit washing in a HUBER Coanda Grit Washer RoSF4 Organics removal by a 2 mm screen (different types of screens are used for different specific local conditions) Removal of fine grit by a hydrocyclone Diverse conveying systems, such as HUBER Screw Conveyor Ro8 , etc Due to the enormous growth of many cities in China, but also in other countries like India for example, it is only a question of time until grit treatment will have to be considered as a solution also in these regions. With more than 20 years of experience in the treatment of external sewer grit and grit from sewage treatment plants, HUBER is the right partner for planning, executing and supporting in such projects.[...]

[...]Processing of Grit and Mineral Waste Sustainable treatment and recycling of sewage grit, street sweepings, gully contents, sewer sludge, material from grit traps and mineral infrastructure waste On the basis of its wealth of experience in developing complete grit treatment systems, HUBER is able to provide a tailored concept for each individual grit treatment project. On the basis of its wealth of experience in developing complete grit treatment systems, HUBER is able to provide a tailored concept for each individual grit treatment project. Applications for Treatment of Grit and Mineral Waste Treatment of Grit from Sewage Treatment Plants Grit washing has become an established process for the treatment of grit from grit chambers over the last decades. HUBER grit washing plants have been in operation worldwide for more than 25 years and have set the standard for modern and efficient processing of grit from wastewater treatment plants to produce a valuable product for reuse. Treatment of Grit from Sewers and Road Sweepings Mineral-rich wastes such as road sweepings, sewer sand, and grit box contents contain not only sand and grit but also contaminants. For the processing and treatment of such mineral wastes, HUBER offers individually designed grit treatment processes. Grit, or mineral waste in general, accumulates during wastewater treatment as well as when cleaning sewers and stormwater tanks. Road cleaning and the emptying of gullies and separators also produce quantities of grit that have to be disposed of. In practically all cases, the grit is contaminated with organic substances and often also with inorganic material of various sizes. HUBER has decades of experience in all fields of grit processing and the suitable solution for any application. Download overview brochure: HUBER Solutions for Grit Treatment HUBER provides the following solutions for the treatment of such mineral wastes: Treatment of sewage treatment plant grit : Grit from the grit chamber of a wastewater treatment plant is always contaminated with organic material. The grit washing process cleans the grit from undesired organic material in one process step, thus reducing disposal costs. Processing of sewer grit and road sweepings : Mineral material, which can be contaminated with large amounts of organic and inorganic substances, is processed in a multi-stage process. The raw material is separated into different fractions and can be disposed of or recycled at low cost. FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Can sewer grit be washed together with sewage treatment plant grit? HUBER has solutions for the processing of sewer grit and grit from sewage treatment plants as well as road sweepings. Depending on the quantities and composition of the material to be processed as well as other general conditions, we design a tailor-made HUBER solution for grit treatment . Why is grit washing needed? In municipal wastewater treatment, grit is separated in a grit trap. This separation takes place by sedimentation, i.e. the grit settles in the grit chamber after sufficient retention time. However, since there are not only mineral substances such as grit in the wastewater, but also many organic solids, these also settle to a greater or lesser extent. As a result, when the grit is discharged from the grit chamber, it sometimes contains a large amount of organic solids. This contamination of the grit with organic matter hinders, among other things, cost-effective landfilling or reuse of the grit. Grit washing with a HUBER Grit Washer RoSF4 solves this problem and produces clean grit with an organic content of less than 3% loss on ignition, the HUBER Grit Washer RoSF G4E reduces the organic content to ≤ 5%. What is the quantity of grit in municipal wastewater? The DWA Code of Practice M369 specifies an average amount of grit trap material of 60 l per 1000 m ³ of wastewater.[...]
