[...]Rome, Italy Seven HUBER Sludgecleaner STRAINPRESS® units for improved wastewater treatment for 3.5 million inhabitants: HUBER to renew sludge screening at all three major WWTPs in Rome Rome, which is worldwide known as “The Eternal City”, is the biggest and also capital city of Italy counting more than 4.200.000 inhabitants. As in other metropolitan cities, the issue of efficient management of infrastructure and investment in technological innovation to achieve ever-higher quality is crucial. The entire water cycle from spring water to waste water treatment for the Lazio region is managed by the company ACEA. ACEA spa is a utilities provider with activities not only in the water section but also in energy generation and distribution or waste management. It is one of the leading utility operators in Italy and was founded in 1909 with the initial target to serve the city of Rome. Nowadays it is active in its business fields all around Italy as well as globally. The City of Rome has in total three major WWTPs which are all being operated by ACEA SPA. Due to major operating issues and maintenance cost caused by settlement and accumulation of high amounts screenings/solids inside the digestors, ACEA has approached HUBER to discuss the possibility to the install a sludge screening system at the South and North WWTPs and to increase the existing capacities of Strainpress SP290 units at the East WWTP. The sludge line at these plants consists of pre-thickening followed by anaerobic digestion, post-thickening before the sludge is being dewatered via decanter centrifuges. At the beginning of 2020, Huber Technology srl signed a contract for the supply o a total of 4 pieces STRAINPRESS® SP 430 and 3 pieces HUBER STRAINPRESS® SP 290. And more precisely: 1. South Rome WWTP with a capacity of 1.5 million PE: 2 pcs HUBER STRAINPRESS® SP 430 and 1 pc HUBER STRAINPRESS® SP 290 2. North Rome WWTP with a capacity of around 1 million PE: 2 pcs HUBER STRAINPRESS® SP 430 3. East Rome WWTP with a capacity of around 1 million PE: 2 pcs HUBER STRAINPRESS® SP 290 (in addition to the 4 machines of the same size installed in previous years). The solution proposed by HUBER was to use the new Strainpress size SP 430 especially for screening of the primary sludges with a typically higher DS concentration. Specifically for the Rome WWTPs the SP 430 allows to treat up to 100 m³/h of primary sludge up to 5% DS and thus reducing the number of units needed by around 50% compared to the use of the old size SP 290. The SP 290 however was also needed to screen the biological sludge with a DS concentration of up to 2,5% and a hydraulic flow up to 60 m³/h. STRAINPRESS® – Design and function The STRAINPRESS® is a horizontal cylindrical coarse material separator which consists of inlet and screening zone, press zone, and a discharge section. A pump presses the unscreened liquid through the screening zone and delivers the screened liquid to further process steps. The coarse material which is retained on the cylindrical screen is stripped off by a coaxial screw and pushed through the press zone where the material is extensively compacted and dewatered. The screw operates only when the pressure sensors detect a differential pressure caused by screen surface blinding. The compacted material is pressed through a gap around a hydraulically operated pressure cone which closes part of the pipe end and builds up counterpressure. The counterpressure of the cone is automatically regulated inversely proportional to the screw motor load. The system does not need any wash water as backwashing of the screen is unnecessary. The perforation and design of the screw shaft are individually adjusted to optimally suit specific requirements. The specific choosen size HUBER STRAINPRESS® SP 430 represents a very convenient solution in terms of performance vs available footprint, with reference to big plants with huge amount of primary and biological sludge to be treated. The machines have been supplied in September 2020 and are already installed and in operation. The very good test results achieved by the machines make ACEA SPA very satisfied with the STRAINPRESS® performance. The above-mentioned machines add to the more than 1000 HUBER STRAINPRESS® successful installations worldwide.[...]

[...]An innovative building block for your digitisation strategy The main duty of the screens installed in the inlet to sewage treatment plants is to protect downstream machines and systems and ensure perfect operation of the sewage treatment plant. When selecting the headworks screens it is usually assumed that coarse material up to a certain maximum size will occur. Increasingly, however, unforeseen material such as cans, wood pallets, large tree branches or even iron rods are also found in sewers. Although such coarse material should definitely not be present in a sewer, there is no possibility to reliably exclude they are there. If such material arrives at a screen and the screen takes it up, this may result in mechanical damage of the screen or downstream systems, such as conveyors, wash presses, etc., and this can lead to severe failures in the operation of a sewage treatment plant. The innovative system HUBER Safety Vision is able to identify critical coarse material and protect machines safely and reliably against damage. Optical sensors continuously monitor the shape and size of the coarse material taken up by the screen. The sensor data are evaluated in real time through digital image processing. Whenever the system detects any impermissible material, a warning message with image is immediately sent to the operating staff. They can decide if the screen is to continue running or stop until the material has been removed. This process reliably prevents blockage or damage of the screen or downstream systems and at the same time increases equipment availability. Another advantage of the HUBER Safety Vision is the preventive identification of explosion risks. Accidents or failures may lead to the ingress or unpermitted feeding of inflammable liquids and gases which can cause an explosive atmosphere in the inlet to a sewage plant even if only small amounts are present in the sewer network. Knowing the explosion risks is essential for the operating reliability of the plants but especially for the health and safety of the operating staff. To ensure reliable monitoring, a sturdy scalable gas alarm device is installed directly on the machine which can trigger an alarm in real time whenever pre-defined limit values are exceeded. HUBER Safety Vision provides the technological preconditions for a variety of applications: Intelligent detection of impurities Continuous monitoring and identification of abnormalities Intelligent preview and early detection of disturbances Continuous transmission of live images Exact determination of the volume and dimensions of screenings by a 3-D scanner and load-dependent control of downstream systems Reduced machine run times Load-dependent adjustment of maintenance intervals Predictive maintenance Reduced maintenance and repair costs Immediate signal from the image processing software to the machine control system if limits are exceeded Detection of explosion risks before they can become dangerous Integration of smart phones, tablet PCs and mobile or stationary displays of a PLC. Due to the variety of possibilities the system provides, HUBER Safety Vision represents an important element in the digitalisation strategy of any sewage treatment plant. Especially the pollution load-dependent control of systems installed downstream of the screen provides a considerable cost saving potential as it reduces unnecessary operation hours and consequential expenses for maintenance and repairs and increases the lifetime of the systems. The impurity detection system HUBER Safety Vision it is possible to identify critical coarse material and protect machines reliably against damage. If the screen is stopped by an obstacle, it is labour-intensive to remove it. At least two persons with suitable tools are necessary to put the screen into operation again. Frequently, they additionally have to repair damage. Warning messages and live pictures can be sent to the staff and varoius devices[...]

[...]Modular design for high flexibility Low operating costs due to low-maintenance plants Filter bed cleaning during system operation Effluent quality requirements for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants are becoming increasingly demanding and complex. To reliably meet the more stringent effluent standards, many applications require additional advanced treatment stages. The HUBER Sandfilter CONTIFLOW® is a versatile, reliable and, above all, low-maintenance filter system for such applications. It can be used for advanced municipal wastewater treatment (3rd and 4th treatment stage) as well as for the treatment of industrial and process wastewater in order to provide individually adapted process solutions tailored to meet specific requirements and conditions. Design and Function The HUBER Sandfilter CONTIFLOW® is a deep-bed type upflow filter with continuous filter bed cleaning and meets even the highest effluent quality requirements. The system is highly efficient as no shutdowns for backwash cycles are necessary for the sand washing process. The HUBER Sandfilter CONTIFLOW® is available as a steel tank design or concrete basin design. Its modular design ensures the optimal treatment of any throughput. The feed is introduced into the Sandfilter through a series of feed radials at the bottom of the filter. As the influent flows from the bottom upward through the sand bed, the solids contained within the influent are retained in the filter sand. The filtrate exits over a weir at the top of the filter. The sand bed, along with the accumulated solids, is drawn downward to the trough bottom into the airlift pipe, which is located in the centre of the filter. The airlift transports the mix upwards to the sand washer. Inside the washer, the solids are separated from the filter sand with a small portion of the filtrate flow. The clean sand falls down through to the bed, generating an internal sand circulation. Typical HUBER Sandfilter CONTIFLOW® applications In addition to mechanical filtration (filterable solids reduction, phosphorus elimination, removal of microplastics), the Sandfilter is also used for biological filtration (nitrogen reduction by denitrification, post-filtration for ozonisation in the 4th treatment stage). Tertiary treatment Reliable retention of suspended solids Easy phosphorus removal through flocculation filtration Reliable removal of microplastics (>99.9 %) Fourth treatment stage Proven police filter before ozonation or activated carbon filtration (GAC) Proven post-filtration following ozonation or activated carbon filtration (GAC) Other applications Treatment of industrial process water, cooling and circulation water Treatment of surface waters and removal of algae Denitrification for biological nitrogen reduction The Benefits of the HUBER Sandfilter CONTIFLOW® Versatile system, sturdy design, well proven over many years No complicated, cost-intensive backwash technology for filter bed cleaning Optimum efficiency due to the use of filtrate as wash water Sand bed cleaning without shutdowns Continuous filtration saves operating and investment costs Modular design for easy adaptation to any flow rate Easy to retrofit on existing sewage treatment plants Gravity feed without pumps High operating reliability due to constantly high filtrate quality No moving parts and only one wearing part for easy maintenance[...]

[...]A combination of screw conveyor and screenings press HUBER Screenings Compactor Ro7 units are used for the compaction, dewatering, and volume reduction of screenings and a large variety of waste materials from industrial processes.

[...]Sludge dewatering with Efficient performance data Maximum operational safety Optimized operating and disposal costs The efficient and cost-effective Q-PRESS® series offers: Feed capacity up to 540 kgDR/h Four sizes available High dewatering performance Low energy demand Easy operation Compact, enclosed design Optional mobile units Design and Function Sludge conditioned with flocculant is pumped via a flocculation section directly into the cylindrical filter basket of the HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® wherein an auger rotates at a very slow speed. The geometry of the auger continuously reduces the volume in the filter basket so that free water is pressed out of the sludge. The auger pushes the increasingly thicker sludge towards an annular clearance past a pneumatically adjustable pressure cone at the discharge end. A scraper on the screw shaft permanently cleans the filter basket from inside due to the rotation of the shaft. A stationary spray bar backwashes the filter basket of the HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® periodically and segment by segment from the outside. For sizes 620.2 and above, the dewatering process remains uninterrupted during backwashing. Parameters used for adjustment and control include not only the sludge feed and flocculant dosing and admixing, but also the screw shaft speed, the sludge feeding pressure and the pneumatic counterpressure of the discharge cone. Innovation and Special Applications Energy efficiency: The screw drives exceed the current energy efficiency standards of electric motors. Due to maximised electrical efficiency the HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® can therefore be operated with higher solids throughputs. Dewatering results: Specially developed scrapers on the screw shaft permanently and reliably clean the inner filter surface with every rotation of the screw. Free water can thus very easily run off. As a result, dewatering efficiency increases and flocculant consumption is reduced. Due to the significantly enlarged open filter surface filter baskets with the same bar spacings are able to handle higher hydraulic loads without impairment of filtrate quality. The outside of the filter is cleaned without interrupting the dewatering process. The predewatering and press zone can be washed independently of each other. Rewetting of press sludge through washing is reduced to a minimum especially in the press zone without neglecting the important washing in the predewatering zone. Maintenance: As an option, the three segments of the filter baskets are available as axially divided segments. Only the upper half of the basket needs to be removed for maintenance. The lower half of the filter basket can be removed from the screw shaft by means of a special mechanism but remains inside the filtrate chamber of the Q-PRESS® during maintenance. This saves a lot of time, reduces space requirements and the need for using lifting devices for maintenance. Dewatering of thin sludges Due to pump feeding, large volumes of sludge water are removed already in the pre-dewatering zone. This permits cost-efficient dewatering of thin sludges with a solids concentration < 1 % without the need for prior thickening. Typical dewatering results of 18 – 25 % DS can be achieved, with a sludge volume reduction up to > 97% in a single step. This saves investment and operation costs for preceding sludge thickening. Variable sludge characteristics Dewatering performance is usually impaired and operator attention increased by frequently varying sludge quality. Our HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® automatically selfadjusts to over- and underloading. A control loop makes sure that optimal operation and performance is always maintained. By this, our Q-PRESS® is flexible with varying sludge qualities and need minimised operator attention for reliable operation. Benefits of HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® High dewatering Defined sludge volume reduction in the screw press Continuously adjustable counterpressure at the discharge end Filtrate discharge enhanced by gravity due to inclined installation Unique scraper system for permanent cleaning of the inner filter surface Significantly increased free filter surface Continuous dewatering Low total investment costs Compact design and small footprint Easy connection of the screw conveyor Optional tube flocculator Integrated support legs Vibration-free, virtually noiseless operation Fully enclosed design Optional extraction of air Reliable operation with little downtime Virtually no wear because of < 1 rpm screw rotation speed Sturdy stainless steel design Dividable filter baskets available as an option Simplified filter dividing mechanism Easy access through large inspection openings Minimal space requirements for maintenance Simple self-monitoring control strategy Proven in thousands of installations Minimum operation costs Outstanding energy efficiency Specific power consumption < 6 kWh/t DR Little operator attention (< 20 min/day) High solids capture rate > 97 %[...]

[...]Rittersdorf, Germany The clever alternative - example Francois Screw presses have established themselves in the dewatering of municipal and industrial surplus sludge in recent years and have become a cost-effective, low-maintenance and operator-friendly alternative to centrifuges, belt presses or chamber filter presses. HUBER has meanwhile equipped several thousand plants and the machines are not only used for sewage sludge dewatering on municipal wastewater treatment plants, but also for industrial residual sludges (e.g. flotate sludge, sludge containing fibres, etc.) and even mineral sludge such as from mining, or for dewatering sludge from tunnel construction. Many, especially smaller, municipal or industrial plants do not set up own dewatering systems, but rely entirely on cooperation with local disposal contractors. In this case, the sludge produced is temporarily stacked at the wastewater treatment plants and then regularly (once or twice a year) dewatered with the help of container or trailer-based systems and usually collected and recycled by the disposal company. The Francois Company from Rittersdorf in the Eifel is a medium-sized disposal company that provides this service for many municipalities and industries in the region. More and more screw compactors are now being installed in trailers and semi-trailers. The decisive factor here is that the systems are operated fully automatically and are also equipped with remote monitoring or access so that they can be operated as unmanned as possible after start-up. Francois currently has two HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS ® 440.2 machines installed in two-axle trailers and one HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS ® 620.2 in a semi-trailer according to the requirements. The plants are designed and manufactured by HUBER according to the needs of Francois. Especially the smaller plants Q-PRESS ® size 440.2 are ideal solutions in terms of logistics and throughput capacity and thus serve the smaller and medium-sized sewage treatment plants in sewage sludge dewatering. In addition to these contract dewatering tasks with mobile plants, Francois also operates partnerships with industrial companies. For example, the sludge disposal of a large milk processor in the region has been organised for many years. For this purpose, Francois has replaced the corresponding dewatering system on the dairy's premises with a HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS ® 440.2 and operates it there as part of the disposal agreement.[...]
