[...]Micro Screens and Filter Advanced wastewater treatment for removal of suspended solids to improve clarifier effluent quality Products for Micro Screening and Filtration Disc Filter Pile Cloth Media Filter Sandfilter Active Carbon Filter Reliable and innovative solutions for advanced wastewater treatment HUBER offers reliable and innovative solutions for advanced wastewater treatment by means of filtration, active carbon filtration, micro-screening and pile cloth media filtration. This leads to a significant effluent quality improvement in addition to the following treatment stages - for biologically treated wastewater and for raw wastewater. Filtration of biologically treated wastewater serves for removal of suspended solids remaining in clarifier effluents. Such suspended solids contain about 50 % carbon, almost 10 % nitrogen and over 1 % phosphorus. Around 1 mg/L (ppm) of phosphorus remain in the effluent, even if the biological treatment stage is designed for enhanced biological phosphorus removal and/or chemical phosphorus precipitation. Subsequent filtration is necessary where stringent phosphorus limits must be reliably maintained. Micro-screening is also possible for the treatment of raw wastewater which is discharged into the watercourse. Thereby almost all solids and, if required, also phosphates are removed.[...]

[...]Grit Washing Plants Separation of organics from the mineral particles. The clean grit is removed through a classifying screw, statically dewatered and discharged into a container. The clean grit is removed through a classifying screw, statically dewatered and discharged into a container. HUBER Coanda Grit Washing Plant RoSF4 Grit Washing Plants HUBER Grit Washer RoSF4 T Grit Washing Plants HUBER Grit Washer RoSF G4E Grit Washing Plants Grit from grit traps of wastewater treatment plants The grit contained in the wastewater is usually removed in grit traps by gravity or centrifugal force to protect downstream equipment. Various different grit trap systems are available for this purpose which however separate not only the grit but frequently also many of the organic particles, dependent upon the hydraulic load (inflow). The separated particles are then pumped from the grit trap to a grit classifying unit (screw or pilgrim step classifier) which remove the solids from the flow without any differentiation. As a result, the loss on ignition of the classified grit trap material varies from 10 % to 80 % depending on the screen bar spacing and inflow. The water content of the grit trap material is accordingly high (50 - 80 %). The result are inevitably high costs for removal, transport and disposal, and in addition very bad hygienic conditions. Grit from sewer systems, gully waste, road refuse These raw materials are more or less contaminated with organics (sludge, leaves, etc.), but they contain also foreign matter that is similar to domestic waste (such as cans, screenings, stones, etc.), and a considerable amount of water. Additionally, the individual raw materials (grit, organics, foreign matter) vary seasonally so that their loss on ignition will range from 5 % to 80 % and their water content from 40 % to 90 %. This results in inevitably high costs for dewatering, removal, transport and disposal. FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Why is grit washing needed? In municipal wastewater treatment, grit is separated in a grit trap. This separation takes place by sedimentation, i.e. the grit settles in the grit chamber after sufficient retention time. However, since there are not only mineral substances such as grit in the wastewater, but also many organic solids, these also settle to a greater or lesser extent. As a result, when the grit is discharged from the grit chamber, it sometimes contains a large amount of organic solids. This contamination of the grit with organic matter hinders, among other things, cost-effective landfilling or reuse of the grit. Grit washing with a HUBER Grit Washer RoSF4 solves this problem and produces clean grit with an organic content of less than 3% loss on ignition, the HUBER Grit Washer RoSF G4E reduces the organic content to ≤ 5%. What are the characteristics of a good grit washing system? A good grit washing system is characterised by its ability to wash out the organic substances in the grit so that the loss on ignition in the washed grit is < 3%. In addition to the effective separation of organic and mineral components, the retention of fine sands is also decisive in practice, which is taken into account in the design of HUBER Grit Washing Plants . Can sewer grit be washed together with sewage treatment plant grit? HUBER has solutions for the processing of sewer grit and grit from sewage treatment plants as well as road sweepings. Depending on the quantities and composition of the material to be processed as well as other general conditions, we design a tailor-made HUBER solution for grit treatment . Why should subsequent grit washing be implemented after grit separation? Conventional grit classifiers separate virtually all solids contained in the grit trap effluent. This classified and partly dewatered grit is usually more or less contaminated with organic particles. With further treatment in a subsequent grit washer , the organics are separated from the mineral particles. What is the difference between a grit washer and a grit classifier? Both the grit washer and the grit classifier are fed with a grit-water mix. In the machine, the grit is separated from the water. In contrast to the grit classifier, the grit washer is able to wash the separated grit. This means that the separated grit is freed from organic components as far as possible. The grit washer thus produces grit that is almost free of organic matter, whereas the separated grit in the grit classifier may contain a considerable amount of organic matter. What is the advantage of classification with simultaneous grit washing compared to simple classification? Due to the additional washing, the organic content in the discharged grit can be guaranteed below 3%. This leads to possible lower disposal costs and volumes.[...]
[...]Dissolved Air Flotation Plants Effective and efficient wastewater and process water treatment for industrial applications through flotation with micro bubbles HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plant HDF Dissolved Air Flotation Plants HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plant HDF S Dissolved Air Flotation Plants Extensive pre-treatment of used process water is reasonable and necessary for both economic and legal reasons Process water is needed in many production processes as a solvent, for production of material, or for cleaning purposes. Water is recirculated and reused for economical and environmental reasons. Grease, oil, fat, floating and suspended solids, settling material, and dissolved components need to be separated to provide good and uniform water quality. Recovery of valuable product from the water may be another additional objective. Proper pre-treatment ensures that the applicable discharge standards for problematic substances (e.g. heavy metals, HC, AOX, etc.) are met and that the effluent discharge fee is minimized. Conventional gravity clarifier sare often incapable to achieve sufficient pre-treatment for the reliable compliance with effluent standards or for extensive reduction of the contaminant load upstream of subsequent treatment stages. Various types of flotation processes have been developed for such separation requirements, whereof dissolved air flotation with pressure water recirculation has proven most effective. The use of a multistage rotary pump for recycle water saturation with air eliminates the need for costly pressure tanks with high maintenance requirements.[...]

In addition, clogging and excessive wear of pipelines and other associated equipment is prevented, which increases the operating reliability of the production plant. Where used process water is discharged as wastewater, pre-treatment is often required to prevent toxic or otherwise harmful substances from entering the sewer system and reduce disposal costs. Conventional gravity clarifiers are often incapable of achieving sufficient pre-treatment. Various types of flotation processes have been developed, whereof dissolved air flotation with pressure water recirculation has proven most effective. The HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plant provides a significantly improved flotation process with a special inlet structure that provides optimum control of the flow within the flotation tank. HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plants are successfully operating for a very wide variety of industrial and municipal applications.[...]

[...]HUBER Grit Washing Plants and System Components Separation of organics from the mineral particles Grit Washing Plants Wash Drum Grit from grit traps of wastewater treatment plants and grit from sewer and road cleaning are heavily contaminated with organic matter and debris. The high content of organic material, the wide volatile solids ratio of 10 to 80%, is the reason why such grit slurries do not dewater well. The solids concentration remains somewhere between. The common performance criteria for the quality of grit removal are: The capture rate of 0.2 mm diameter grit particles; and the volatile solids concentration of the removed grit. The end product after effective grit treatment is a reusable product with a volatile solids ratio of less than 3 % and a water content of below 10 %. Such grit treatment not only reduces the volume and mass of the removed grit, but also the disposal costs. If the clean grit product is reused, e.g. for road bedding, costs for grit disposal could be avoided.[...]
