[...]Munich, Germany Climate-neutral, solar sewage sludge drying is a globally used and proven technology to reduce the amount of sludge produced by all kinds of wastewater treatment plants in a sustainable and resource-saving way. Solar drying not only reduces the mass by approx. 70%, the dried sludge is also stable and odourless and opens up various disposal options. Solar sewage sludge drying reduces costs over the long term. HUBER will exhibit the HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner for the first time in Munich at the IFAT, the world's leading trade fair for environmental, water and wastewater management. This is the fifth further development of the well-known HUBER Sludge Turner Solstice®. Reduced plant costs The special feature of the new machine is the elimination of the lateral concrete travelling walls. The HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner travels directly on the floor. This further development reduces the costs of the entire plant. Further development and advantages The machine only requires a level concrete slab on which special stop brackets are fixed. The use of stop brackets made from standard steel parts makes installation and alignment easier and improves quality. The timing of the process can be customised. The brackets can be fitted before, during or after the machine is installed. The new design leads to reduced assembly times, which are significantly shortened due to the elimination of the carriageway walls. No change to the proven operation The actual and proven operation of the machine remains unchanged: With only two motors and optional sludge granulation by means of a blade, the HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner can process drying beds of up to 150 m in length and offers the full range of functions of the previous machine. The specific backmixing for more efficient drying, the sludge transport and the complete turning of the entire sludge bed remain the same. The entire system can be operated fully automatically in a user-friendly manner. Exhibit The exhibit at the trade fair shows a section of the machine. At IFAT 2024 in Munich, visitors can get their own impression of the further developed HUBER Sludge Turner for the first time and get advice from the HUBER experts at the exhibition stand. Prototype The prototype of the HUBER Sludge Turner FloorRunner is already running at the HUBER headquarters in Berching/Erasbach. The further developed version will be tested down to the last detail on a newly constructed test site and will be firmly established on the market following the successful endurance test. The further developed HUBER system now makes it even easier to actively contribute to environmental protection in an ecologically and economically sensible way.[...]

[...]Kodersdorf, Germany Kodersdorf in Saxony is located on the White Schöps River and is characterised by a charming landscape, nestled between the Königshainer Mountains and the Upper Lusatian pond landscape in the vicinity of Görlitz. The sewage treatment plant in the industrial area has a capacity of 7,500 PE and aerobic sludge stabilisation. The plant was expanded from 4,500 PE to 7,500 PE in 2023. The expansion of capacity also necessitated the construction of a second sludge storage facility and a stationary sludge dewatering system. To ensure efficient sludge disposal for the future, the sewage treatment plant was equipped with a solar sludge drying system. Premiere of the HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE® FloorRunner With this plant concept, the municipality of Kodersdorf is building a system that enables unmanned, autonomous operation thanks to full automation. The plant must be monitored, adjusted and maintained, but no personnel are required for actual operation. The entire process flow is automated, from thin sludge to dry granulate. Automation reduces the workload for operating personnel. In times of skilled labour shortages, the automated sludge treatment in Kodersdorf is therefore future-proof. The plant can be operated either directly via the HMI touch panels on the plant itself, or via screen redirection to on-site end devices. Details of the process Efficient sludge dewatering with the HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® In Kodersdorf, a HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® 440 dewaters almost 150 tonnes of dry matter to approx. 20–23% dry residue. The annual 730 tonnes of dewatered sewage sludge are conveyed by a HUBER Screw Conveyor Ro8 TSF to the solar sewage sludge dryer. Optimal drying thanks to intelligent system design There, the HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE® FloorRunner, which is movable on a newly developed steel angle construction, distributes the sludge over a 660 m² drying area. The drying area is housed in a 68 m long and 12 m wide greenhouse construction equipped with controlled fans. By turning the sludge with the HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE® FloorRunner, combined with the air turbulence from the fans and the accumulated heat in the greenhouse, as well as direct sunlight on the surface, the sludge dries to an annual average of over 80% dry residue. With an annual global radiation of approx. 1,085 kWh/m²/a on site, 550 tonnes of water evaporate. At the end, approx. 180 tonnes of dry granulate with a density of approx. 0.8 kg/l remain to be disposed of. Automated sludge removal for efficient further processing The automatic sludge removal system, consisting in a HUBER Screw Conveyor TSD followed by a bucket elevator with distribution, conveys the granulate into two containers. Thanks to the consistent use of the HUBER machine technology, all components of the system are efficiently coordinated with each other. Compactness and functionality through innovative technology Like its predecessor, which required a concrete foundation, the HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE® FloorRunner is equipped with a double shovel that turns the sludge bed and moves it forward. In order to move material to specific points, the sludge turner also uses the double shovel as a transport vessel. In Kodersdorf, this function is used to place wet sludge feeding and dry sludge removal on the same gable side of the greenhouse. This allowed the greenhouse construction to be extended to the boundary of the sewage treatment plant. The compact design makes optimum use of the available space. HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE® FloorRunner now available worldwide HUBER now offers the SOLSTICE® FloorRunner worldwide. The benchmark status of solar sewage sludge drying with HUBER technology will become even more apparent in the future as the technology continues to develop. Long-term, trouble-free solar drying operation thanks to sophisticated HUBER machine technology will convince customers worldwide. The commissioning of the plant was successfully completed in May 2025. We would like to thank IBOS Engineering, ZV Kodersdorf and Stowasser for their excellent cooperation.[...]

[...]Drinking Water Treatment and Supply Producing high-quality drinking water and distributing it safely to consumers Drinking water is fresh water that is suitable for human consumption if defined requirements are met. The quality requirements for drinking water differ from country to country, and local ordinances and other regulations apply here, among other regulations. Drinking water is fresh water that is suitable for human consumption if defined requirements are met. The quality requirements for drinking water differ from country to country, and local ordinances and other regulations apply here, among other regulations. Potable Water Supply Durable stainless steel components are recommended for drinking water supply. This is a point to secure the quality of our drinking water. Drinking Water Treatment Process engineering solutions for the treatment of drinking water in order to meet the quality requirements Drinking water abstraction, treatment and distribution Extraction from wells: Wells can be several hundred metres deep and are used to extract groundwater. Depending on the depth of the well and local conditions, water quality varies and the water may need to be treated further. Extraction from springs: Spring water is groundwater that comes to light. The water quality depends, among other things, on whether the spring is fed by deep groundwater or by less deep surface water. The risk of possible adverse health effects is greater in the case of near-surface water. Extraction from surface water: Drinking water can be obtained from rivers and lakes. Because of the substances that are often present, it is usually necessary to treat the water before it can be used. Seawater is also a common source of drinking water in many countries, with technically complex and energy-intensive seawater desalination plants being used. Storage and distribution: The drinking water is made available to the consumers in the required quantity and pressure as well as the necessary quality via a water distribution system consisting of storage tanks, pressure boosters and pipelines, among other components. HUBER Solutions for drinking water Drinking water treatment : Selected process technology for the production of drinking water from groundwater, surface water and seawater. Drinking water storage : The right equipment for water reservoirs and flood tanks to ensure that drinking water is stored safely and its high quality is maintained. Drinking water supply and distribution : The right equipment for water networks is a prerequisite for a sustainable and economical supply of drinking water to the population.[...]

[...]Drinking Water Treatment Process engineering solutions for the treatment of drinking water In order to meet the quality requirements for drinking water, more or fewer stages of physical and/or chemical treatment are required, depending on the nature of the raw water. Typical possible treatment steps in drinking water treatment are the removal of iron, manganese as well as deacidification and decarbonisation. Precipitation, flocculation and filtration remove solids and suspended matter. Adsorption processes using activated carbon remove dissolved organic compounds. Germs, bacteria and viruses are eliminated by disinfection processes (e.g. chlorine, ozone). For very salty raw water, reverse osmosis systems or ion exchangers can be used. Solids Separation in Drinking Water Treatment For the production of drinking water (especially when surface water is used), physical process steps are often necessary to remove solids of different types and sizes. Compact Solutions for Drinking Water Treatment The treatment of surface water to drinking water can be done with different physical, mechanical and chemical process steps in package plants. HUBER solutions for the treatment of drinking water Mechanical-physical processes : HUBER offers comprehensive solutions for the separation of all kinds of solids. Coarse material as well as small solids and suspended particles can be removed efficiently and reliably. Package plant for drinking water : The SafeDrink package plant from Mena-Water is a containerised system that integrates all the necessary components for drinking water treatment in one compact system. Coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection are used as process steps. Reverse osmosis: The Mena-Water package plant with reverse osmosis systems is capable of removing dissolved salts and other impurities such as bacteria, sugars, proteins, dyes and high molecular weight compounds.[...]

The most suitable system is selected for each individual sewage treatment plant. HUBER can select the right drying solution for any application and specific conditions.[...]

[...]Another milestone in the Hannover-Lahe project of sludge2energy GmbH The two HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® units 2050 M were successfully lifted into place in calendar week 44. A crane unloaded the two disc dryers from the heavy load transporters on site and lifted them directly into the building onto the prepared level. The disc dryers, each weighing around 63 tonnes, are used in the Hannover-Lahe sewage sludge mono-incineration plant (KVA) as pre-dryers for fuel preparation. Thermal drying for further utilisation of the sewage sludge: environmentally friendly heat for around 5,000 households Thermal drying ensures that the dewatered sewage sludge is dried to such an extent that it can be utilised autothermally (i.e. without external heat or energy input) in the fluidized bed incinerator. The steam generated in the boiler is used both to produce electricity to cover the plant's own electrical needs and to heat the dryers. The vapours produced (steam) are condensed in a vapour condenser, the resulting heat is used to feed the district heating network. The environmentally friendly heat is then available to around 5,000 households. Video: Erfolgreicher Einhub der HUBER Scheibentrockner RotaDry® The huge dryers on their way to site on flatbed trailers The first dryer is lifted directly into the building onto the prepared level Next please After the dryers have been lifted into place, the steel construction above the dryers can now continue Video: HUBER Disc Dryers successfully lifted into place The two HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® units 2050 M were successfully lifted into place in calendar week 44 / 2021. After dryer insertion: steel construction, mechanical assembly and commissioning in 2022 After the dryers have been lifted into place, the steel construction above the dryers can now continue, and the roof of the building will be closed at the beginning of next year.
