[...]Spain Spain and the wider Mediterranean region experience intense rainfall repeatedly within very short time periods. This has increased over the last decade. During such events, when several hundred millimetres of rain fall in a short space of time, the ground can no longer absorb the water. This is particularly the case when the heavy rainfall follows a long period of hot weather with no precipitation. Even the smallest streams can quickly turn into frightening rivers that sweep everything away, causing great damage to people and the environment. Recent events in the greater Valencia area in 2024 [...]

[...]Weißenberge, Germany Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource, even in Germany. As climate change progresses, conflicts over water resources will continue to escalate, particularly in water-intensive agriculture. As part of the ‘HypoWave+’ project, a resource-efficient hydroponic system for water reuse in regional vegetable production was installed and scientifically monitored for the first time in Germany in 2024. Wastewater as a valuable resource for irrigation ’The special feature of the HypoWave system is that we obtain high-quality treated irrigation water from municipal [...]

[...]Øystese, Norway I began my dual Bachelor's degree in Biological and Environmental Process Engineering at HUBER and the East Bavarian University of Applied Sciences in Amberg-Weiden in September 2021. The degree programme focuses primarily on natural sciences and engineering subjects such as fluid mechanics, mechanical and thermal process engineering, and water and wastewater treatment. In addition to theory, several practical projects must also be completed during the study-free periods. Practical experience at the HUBER Technology Centre I had the advantage of being able to gain practical [...]

[...]Rednitzhembach, Germany HUBER was awarded the contract in early 2024 to supply and install a HUBER Rotary Drum Fine Screen ROTAMAT® Ro2 with a downstream HUBER Wash Press WAP® for renewing the STW’s screening system. These have now been in operation since the end of August 2024. Technical challenge and solution in the screen channel A particular challenge in this project was that the screen channel had to be widened from 600 mm to 1000 mm in the area of the screen basket. In order to minimise conversion time, which included demolishing the old channel and continuing to operate the sewage treatment[...]

[...]Heiligenblut, Austria The Heiligenblut wastewater treatment plant, which has a capacity of 8,250 PE, was built at the foot of the Großglockner, Austria's highest mountain, in 1986. It treats the wastewater of the entire municipality of Heiligenblut (at an altitude of 1,288 m), including Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, which is the highest point of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road (at an altitude of 2,369 m). The sewage treatment plant is located next to the Mölltal federal road in the village of Rojach, at an altitude of 1,098 metres. The challenge: limited installation space and high requirements The [...]

[...]Germany Membrane systems, especially membrane bioreactors (MBR), are wastewater treatment technologies that combine biological processes with membrane filtration. These systems are used in some sewage treatment plants instead of the conventional activated sludge process. A typical MBR system consists of a biological reactor in which microorganisms break down organic matter and a membrane filtration unit that separates the purified water from the solids. Solids separation prior to membrane filtration To ensure optimum performance, membranes must be protected from large solids. For this purpose, [...]

[...]Wendelstein, Germany Since 2008, the ZV zur Abwasserbeseitigung im unteren Schwarzachtal (Lower Schwarzach Valley Sewage Treatment Association) has been retrofitting existing relief structures with screening systems to separate floating and coarse materials. These retrofits contribute significantly to greatly improving the discharge quality of rainwater from the combined sewer system into the receiving water. Installation of a screening plant at the Röthenbacher Straße stormwater tank with overflow In the stormwater tank with overflow at Röthenbacher Straße in Wendelstein, just outside [...]

[...]Shanghai, China A total of twelve HUBER Fine Screens ROTAMAT® Ro1/2600 were supplied for the second construction phase of WWTP Zhuyu There is hardly another city worldwide that is growing with such a breath-taking speed as Shanghai, China’s boom town. But such rapid growth comes at a high price. Shanghai’s infrastructure can hardly cope. It happens time and again that the power stations can not supply enough electricity, or that even the 12 lane main highway is jammed to a stand-still. Of course, sewers and treatment plants are also under strain and the city administration is doing its best [...]

[...]Detmold, Germany The Detmold wastewater treatment plant has replaced its old step screen with a modern HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® J. The decision was made in favour of HUBER SE, who realised the entire project from start to finish – from preparing the drawings to installing and successfully commissioning the new screen system. The new HUBER RakeMax® J impresses with its high efficiency and reliability in coarse and fine screening of wastewater. Thanks to its robust design and innovative technology, it contributes significantly to improving screening efficiency and ensures the wastewater[...]

[...]Schnaittachtal, Germany The Schnaittachtal sewage treatment plant has been in operation for almost 50 years and currently employs six male and one female sewage treatment operators. For many years, the plant has relied on HUBER machines for mechanical wastewater treatment, such as the HUBER Screenings Wash Press WAP® Ro4-OS, HUBER Screw Conveyor Ro8 and HUBER STEP SCREEN. These have now been replaced by a new HUBER Rotary Drum Fine Screen ROTAMAT® Ro2 size 1600 with a 3 mm bar spacing, a HUBER Screw Conveyor Ro8 T and HUBER Screenings Wash Press WAP® SL. A quarter of a century in service In service[...]
