[...]Replacing the primary clarifier with a fine screen – HUBER CarbonWin® In the HUBER CarbonWin® process, the primary clarifier is replaced by a fine screen. This results in the following advantages: Only 1/10 of the space required compared to conventional primary clarifiers Minimised investment and operating costs Suitable to be integrated into existing plants The primary clarifier is the last stage of the mechanical pre-treatment of a wastewater treatment plant and works according to the anaerobic sludge stabilisation process. In the primary settling tank, undissolved organic and inorganic substances[...]
[...]Tailor-made solutions for fish protection We develop solutions that are both designed and implemented to be sustainable and long-lasting. This starts with resource-saving manufacturing of our screens and screening machines, and continues with optimisation of structures for water abstraction projects, right through to comprehensive concepts for fish protection. Technical options HUBER solutions for fish protection Optimal fish protection starts with the correct design of the structure and the screen concept. This also includes fish deterrent systems and specially shaped filter elements for belt[...]
[...]Products and solutions for the safe operation of sewer systems and the protection of our environment Only with a functioning sewer network can secure wastewater disposal be ensured that meets both water protection and flood protection requirements. Combined sewers carry the wastewater together with the rainwater that accumulates on paved surfaces (roofs, roads, etc.). In a separate sewer system, wastewater and stormwater are collected separately. The disadvantage of separate sewer systems is higher investment costs, the advantage is that less wastewater has to be treated in the sewage treatment[...]
[...]The first HUBER service consultant tour in New Zealand, organised and planned by our long-time service consultant Martin Burger, marked a significant milestone for HUBER. With a time difference of 12 hours and a flight time of approx. 22 hours, he was faced with great challenges, which he successfully mastered together with colleagues from our partner company Hydroflux at the end of 2024. In his report, Martin Burger talks about an unforgettable journey: ‘New Zealand, known for its active volcanoes and impressive landscapes, provided the setting for a tour full of technical highlights and [...]
[...]Houston, TX USA In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas Gulf Coast and struck it hard. The devastating category 4 hurricane caused unprecedented flooding. In addition to more than $125 billion in property damage, the storm completely destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes. Within just four days, more than one metre of rain per square metre fell in many areas in the Houston region, making Harvey the rainiest storm ever recorded in the United States. Since Hurricane Harvey, the Houston region has repeatedly experienced severe storms, which is why the National Weather Service (NWS) has [...]
[...]The HUBER STRAINPRESS® Sludgecleaner SP 430 was introduced 4 years ago in response to the number of projects that required multiple SP 290’s. Many of the 290’s STRAINPRESS® supplied would’ve been single units, but on the larger sites like Five Fords in Welsh Water required 4 SP 290’s, Minworth & Coles Hill in Severen Trent required 6 & 4 SP 290’s respectively. The capacity of the STRAINPRESS® SP 430 is just over double that of the SP290. The flow rate of the SP 430 with a 5mm basket @3% ds sludge is 160M3/Hr compared to 75M3/Hr on the SP 290. Cost savings can be made by: Reduced number of units [...]
