[...]Egypt A sewage treatment plant is under construction in Egypt, in the east of the Suez Canal, for the treatment of wastewater and agricultural wastewater from the sewer system Bahr El-Baqar. To ease the water shortage in the Sinai region, the clarified water will be returned to the El-Salam canal and serve for the irrigation of agricultural land on the Sinai Peninsula. With a total capacity of 5 million m³ per day, this plant will be the biggest water treatment plant in the world. Huge amounts of sludge are generated in the different treatment processes on the wastewater treatment plant. This[...]

[...]We help you to get rid of fat and grease! Grease concentration in wastewater is usually measured by the content of lipophilic substances. A laborious extraction process is necessary to obtain this analytical value from a composite wastewater sample. Grease contained in wastewater is normally present as a dispersed (suspended) fraction. A small portion of the grease is contained as an emulsion, this can be explained by the use of solvents and rinsing liquors. Depending on the type of sewer (length, drop structures, number of pump stations, screens) it is differentiated between a coarse-particle[...]

[...]Castres, France HUBER's first small grit treatment system in France Castres is a French municipality in the South of France which is located on the river Agout and characterized by industrial enterprises. The best known local enterprise is the pharmaceutical and cosmetics company Pierre Fabre Laboratories which has its headquarters in Castres. In the middle of the industrial zone, not far from the Pierre Fabre Laboratories you will find the sewage treatment plant of Castres. The plant is designed for 95,000 PE and clarifies the wastewater of the population of Castres and of the nearby industrial[...]

[...]South Padre Island, TX, USA In the southernmost part of Texas, not far from the Mexican border and directly on the Gulf of Mexico, lies the headland of South Padre Island. This place is made for holidays, with sun, sand and sea. From February to October, streams of tourists roll there on the fine sandy beach and enjoy the waves and the warmth, which is about 40°C during the day. As there is also a high humidity of over 90%, the best place to spend the day is in the sea or at the pool. The exposed location of South Padre Island has of course also its disadvantage. Many people take a shower several [...]

[...]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 [...]

[...]The aerated grit trap is a very important element in mechanical wastewater treatment. Its task is not only to reliably remove the grit from the wastewater flow but also to retain particulate lipophilic substances (grease) to prevent floatable particles from settling or overflowing in downstream treatment systems. Fine grit of a grain size ≥ 75 µm can usually not be separated by conventional aerated longitudinal grit traps as the rising air counteracts the continuous sedimentation of small particles. Very long, wide and voluminous structures are already required if you want to remove grit of a [...]

[...]Niebüll, Germany 2 HUBER Complete Plant ROTAMAT® Ro5 units for 100 l/s on STP Niebüll in Northern Germany Those who know the regions up in the north will know where the town Niebüll is located: It is a holiday destination in the northernmost part of Germany at the North Sea from where also the motorail train crosses the Hindenburg Dam to the village Westerland on the island of Sylt. These special circumstances naturally played a major role for the engineering office Ivers in Husum when planning the preliminary wastewater treatment stage on STP Niebüll. It had to be taken into account that the [...]

[...]Wackersdorf, Germany The aim of the waste management industry is the processing of sands and mineral waste into recyclable fractions. Decisive for the competitiveness of a waste management company is the economic acceptance and treatment of the input material. Especially the low operating costs as well as the low maintenance requirements of the HUBER machine technology form the basis for the economic efficiency of the sand treatment process. Furthermore, HUBER technology ensures a consistently high quality of the recyclable fractions. This, in turn, provides the waste management company with planning[...]

[...]Schwabach, Koblenz, Frankfurt Niederrad For almost 20 years already, HUBER SE has provided successful solutions for the treatment of road sweepings, sewer grit and grit from sewage treatment plants. With more than 170 projects executed worldwide HUBER has gained extensive experience in the treatment of STP grit, sewer grit and road sweepings. Our solutions have continuously been further developed in the course of the past years. The major challenge has been and still is the different composition of the raw material which can have a massive impact on downstream grit treatment systems. The result[...]

[...]Medellin, Colombia HUBER Belt Dryer BT 30 in Colombia Located in the second largest Colombian city of Medellin, the new Bello wastewater treatment plant (2.75 million population equivalents) with a maximum inflow of 6.5 m³/s went already into operation in mid-2018. For drying the sewage sludge treated in the 6 digesters, the HUBER Schrader-Camargo consortium installed the proven HUBER Belt Dryer BT, thus implementing an international mega project. The contract value for the consortium for the construction of the turnkey drying plant is over 44 million Euros. Every day 310 tons of dewatered [...]
