[...]Isle of Man, Great Britain The first HUBER Belt Dryer BT installation in Great Britain went officially into operation recently. On the Isle of Man, up to 12,775 t sewage sludge per year will efficiently be dried from now on. HUBER received the order to build a belt dryer on the Isle of Man at the beginning of 2015. The customer wanted to reduce the energy expenditure for sludge drying and the resulting high disposal costs. The HUBER BT 16 achieves this most impressively. The sewage treatment plant of the town Douglas does not have any sludge digestion facilities. There is therefore no exhaust air available for operating the dryer, and only a limited amount of gas and fuel oil is available and hence expensive. The contractor decided therefore to use a highly-efficient, electrically heated boiler for heat supply to the dryer. As the site is located very close to the sea (approx. 300 m), all components of the dryer had to be manufactured from V4A material, not only the dryer segments but also the complete outer shell and the insulation of the air and heating lines. For the cooling water supply for vapour condensation even titanium is used in this case because of the extremely high chloride contents of more than 1,000 mg/l. After a construction time of about one year the belt dryer went into operation in June 2016. The HUBER Belt Dryer BT could be put into regular operation after only a very short start-up period. This project shows how flexible and adaptable the HUBER Belt Dryer BT can be. The dryer easily copes with even the most difficult local conditions of a site on an island and offers the customer an efficient, robust solution to reduce operating costs. Facts and figures: Site location: Douglas, Isle of Man Size: HUBER Belt Dryer BT 16 Dryer length: 19 m Water evaporation: 2,013 kg/h Throughput: 12,775 t/a or 2,500 kg/h Operating time: 5,110 h/a Sludge drying: from 18% DR to 90 % DR Heat source: electricity-heated boiler, 140°C[...]

[...]Berching, Germany HUBER Chemicals Dosing DIGIT-DOSE setting new standards for the efficient operation of flotation plants Industrial wastewater treatment cannot be imagined anymore without flotation technology. Flotation ensures that suspended matter, grease and particulate pollutants are effectively removed from production wastewater. If also dissolved pollutants need to be converted to particulate matter, precipitants and flocculants are added. Such additives can enormously increase cleaning efficiency, they are however also the major cost factor in the operating costs for a wastewater treatment plant. As few as possible, yet as many as necessary of such chemicals should therefore be used! In practice, it is however difficult, not to say almost impossible, to dose the precipitants and flocculants optimally. The wastewater generated in industrial companies comes from different production processes, with partly strongly varying flow volumes and loads. To ensure continuous feeding of the flotation plant nevertheless, a mixing and balancing tank for homogenisation is installed upstream of the flotation plant. Varying loads can be reduced this way but not prevented completely. Varying loads cause increased operating costs To ensure in daily practice that the required clarification efficiency is achieved even with peak loads, precipitants and flocculants are overdosed. Another possibility is the manual adjustment of the doses by the operating staff. This reduces chemicals consumption but requires personnel. Intelligent freight-dependent dose control minimizes operating costs HUBER has risen to this challenge: with a flotation plant that both achieves the required clarification results reliably and at any time despite varying inlet loads and at the same time minimizes the consumption of precipitants and flocculants without staff attendance! This challenging task has been met with the newly developed DIGIT-DOSE system. The intelligent dose regulation is at the heart of the DIGIT-DOSE system, permanently determining from the measurement data of different sensors the pollution degree of the wastewater and adding then the required dose of different chemicals. Such optimized use of chemicals reduces also the amount of flotate sludge. Beside the operating costs for chemicals, disposal costs for flotate sludge are another main cost factor. DIGIT-DOSE meets expectations in practical operation The feedback received from plant operators to date are very positive and confirm that DIGT-DOSE has fully reached the development targets: significant chemicals savings less flotate sludge improved clarification results reduced staff involvement significantly reduced operating costs The investment costs for the HUBER Chemicals Dosing DIGIT-DOSE pay off for plant operators within a very short time due to the significantly reduced operating costs. Existing plants retrofitted with DIGIT-DOSE have shown that the ROI (Return on Investment) can be achieved within only one year. If HUBER DIGIT-DOSE is considered and included already in the project engineering phase, the size of mixing and balancing tanks can be reduced to the minimum. Any load variations still present can then reliably be managed with the freight-controlled chemicals dosing solution without any negative effects on operating costs and/or plant efficiency.[...]

[...]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 river as their energy source. The electrical power for this comes from the CHP unit. However, due to the biological activity in the river water, the heat pump cannot be connected to it directly, as biofouling – the growth of microorganisms, plants, algae and animals on underwater structures – would impair the heat pump's performance and result in high maintenance costs. HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin14 The newly installed HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin14 plays a crucial role in this process. By interconnecting the HUBER system, the energy from the river is first transferred to a clean medium, the heating water, enabling the heat pump to operate properly. The process To extract heat from the river, approximately 200 m³/h of water is diverted from the river through an outlet structure. This water is pre-cleaned using a drum screen before being pumped to the combined heat and power plant 270 metres away. Fully automatic cleaning system There, the HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin14 transfers the heat to an intermediate circuit. Biofouling that forms on the wastewater heat exchanger surface is reliably and fully automatically removed by the patented cleaning system. This ensures that the designed output can be achieved. The Carrier heat pump can use the river heat transferred to the heating circuit water as source energy, thus providing a heating capacity of approximately 1,100 kW. Up to 780 kW of this comes from the river. The plant has been operating reliably since commissioning in 2024, supplying clean thermal energy to the municipal utilities' great satisfaction. Other municipal utilities have visited the plant and are evaluating the utilisation of river water heat based on the Wittenberge model.[...]

[...]Worldwide Grit chamber cleaners are generally reliable and safe, working around the clock, come rain or shine. Nevertheless, the ravages of time take their toll on the structure. After 30, 40 or even more than 50 years, even carefully maintained and well-looked-after cleaners eventually reach the end of their service life. Paving the way for the future It is wise to plan for the future cleaning of your longitudinal grit trap early on and with foresight. As is so often the case, there are various solutions available for this. However, before addressing the issue of grit channel clearance, it must first be clarified whether the old concrete grit channel still meets current requirements – in terms of separation efficiency, for example – and what condition the concrete structure is in. This will determine whether a new build or a possible refurbishment (retrofit) without costly civil engineering works is required. If the decision is made to carry out a retrofit, one either seeks a suitable replacement for the grit channel cleaner or explores a new, innovative method of removing the grit from the grit channel. Unfortunately, replacing the cleaning system presents many difficulties, as a one-to-one replacement is usually not possible. On the one hand, many of the manufacturers of those scrapers are no longer on the market, and on the other, alternative products are completely unique. Optimal results with modern grit traps HUBER offers an innovative alternative: the HUBER Longitudinal Grit Trap ROTAMAT® Ro6 with a grit removal screw. What makes it special is the robust screw conveyor at the bottom of the grit channel. This screw, with its hollow shaft, extends along the entire length (up to 42 m) of the grit channel and conveys the sediment step by step to the grit pump (centrifugal pump or pneumatic lift). Blockages in the grit pump, as is often the case with blade-type scrapers, are a thing of the past, as the grit is fed to the pump in small batches. Thanks to the use of the grit removal screw at the bottom of the grit channel, bridge-mounted scrapers are a thing of the past, and the grit traps can now be fully covered to prevent odour emissions. HUBER can, as usual, supply other internal components, such as aeration or grease removal systems, in stainless steel to suit the specific concrete structure. We also provide a comprehensive engineering package. If the old grit channel is to be optimised not only for grit removal but also in terms of separation efficiency, HUBER offers the ideal solution in the form of the innovative HUBER Grit Trap GritWolf® with an integrated lamella separator. In this case, however, the cross-section of the grit channel must be adjusted accordingly. In recent years, HUBER has successfully supplied the solution with the grit removal screw at the bottom of the channel. Among other projects, large mechanical treatment stages have been commissioned in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Lithuania and the USA, either as new builds or retrofit projects. This impressively demonstrates that HUBER offers the right solution for every grit separation application.[...]

[...]Fully automatic throughput and performance control HUBER develops a revolutionary control system for BT Belt Dryers: The system is able to adjust the plant throughput fully automatically to varying dry substance contents in the dewatered sewage sludge. Operator attendance is thus reduced to a minimum. Dewatered sewage sludge, even if coming from a sewage treatment plant, does usually not show constant properties. Variations in organic content, chemical composition or polymer necessarily lead to varying dewatering results. Minor variations can normally be balanced quite well, but variations greater than +/– 1% DR per hour may impair the drying process. Throughput performance will decrease or the required degree of drying may not be achieved. The plant operates less efficiently and operating costs increase. The gap between costs and efficiency will increase even more if also larger amounts of external sludge are fed to the plant. Jumps from several percentage points DR per hour are frequently unavoidable as the sludges are in most cases stored in a large bunker and fed to the dryer as an undefined mixture. Under these circumstances, it is a great challenge for the plant operators to run the plant at full capacity. With an increasing number of different sludge sources it is becoming virtually impossible to achieve a homogenisation of the sludges with justifiable operator attention and personnel expenses. The number of plants which accept also external sludge will rise in the future due to the tendency to build large sludge centres. HUBER has therefore dealt intensively with this topic and developed a fully automatic control system which continuously measures the DR content of the sludge before the sludge is fed to the drying plant. This ensures that the drying parameters can be set correctly at the moment the sludge is fed to the dryer. This method is unique on the sludge drying market. The control system consists of a continuously working measuring system which measures the dry substance content of the sewage sludge before the sludge is fed to the dryer. A complex control system fully automatically adjusts all operating parameters of the sludge drying plant to the specific requirements. It is thus possible to adjust jumps of several percentage points DR per hour reliably and without notable fluctuations in performance. The dryer can be operated continuously at the full water evaporation capacity. The following diagram shows dry substance content and water evaporation during a 24-hour measurement period on the test plant. Despite major variations in inlet DR the dryer adjusts itself fully automatically to the required water evaporation of 1,400 kg/h. The HUBER throughput and performance control system guarantees continuously full plant performance and maximum energy efficiency without the need for plant operators to intervene. In daytime, at night and on weekends.[...]

[...]As the original designer and manufacturer of the world recognised and respected HUBER STRAINPRESS® pressurised sludge screen, it has been increasingly interesting to us to see the number of different applications where the STRAINPRESS® has been utilised and requested. From its original launch into the market in 1990, with its cast steel casing, chain-drive motors and old stuffing box seals, the unit then underwent a period of innovation in 1999 and the latest design was launched in 2000. The modifications included items such as the whole casing now being manufactured and supplied in 304L stainless steel as standard and therefore increasing its asset life against that of the old steel casing versions, which could be subject to corrosion after around 10 years. Additional major modifications at the same time were a direct geared motor drive in place of the old chain-driven design and an up-to-date mechanical seal arrangement to replace the old stuffing box sealing. These new improvements in its design meant that the STRAINPRESS® was now suitably upgraded to ensure that the whole life cost of the unit was reduced and thus allowed it to comply with the latest specifications and market requirements. With this latest design and its extensive track record of over 345 units in the UK and over 1000 units worldwide it is therefore renowned as a market leader in its field. One of the main strengths of any supplier is for them to understand and be aware of its products capabilities in terms of sizing / throughput and performance but also the applications and the effects that different products and solids loading can have on that unit. While the municipal wastewater market tends to have a fairly recognised and well proven range of applications and has full confidence in the unit’s capabilities, this was not always the case when industrial applications are presented to us. This is particularly apparent with the commercial Anaerobic Digestion (AD) market which has expanded over the past 5 to 6 years. HUBER recognised this particular area as a potential application for the STRAINPRESS® units some 7 or 8 years ago and undertook a large number of trials on different applications within this area. It was observed from the very first trial that the characteristics of the digestate required re-evaluation of how the machine could best be optimised in order to give the best performance in this area. HUBER undertook a large number of trials on applications with a series of end users and sites and different basket hole perforations where items including the hydraulic throughput, solids throughput, temperature of the sludge and screenings retention were all recorded. From these extensive trials it was apparent that specific items in terms of some changes to the build of the unit together with the control of the unit were required and from this the industrial version of the recognised STRAINPRESS® unit was developed with validated sizing parameters. The main lessons learned from this was that one size or type does not fit all and from this sound base we have grown this now so that numerous units have been supplied into this demanding and difficult application sector over the past 5 years and all of which are working successfully. Our extensive experience has shown that each application must be looked at and engineered on its own merits , should anyone tell you otherwise then they have obviously not done their homework or undertaken the hard work upfront in order to gain the experience necessary. In that regard, HUBER’s extensive trial work and experience has made us a market leader and allows us to give confidence to our clients that the STRAINPRESS® “does what it says on the tin” in this field. We are equipped to address any present or future AD market needs - just contact us for a discussion about your application.[...]
