[...]Vienna, Austria Project Scope The project comprises in detail: In the screening building: Replacement of the existing screens by HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® units: - Channel width: 3.0 m - Channel depth: 3.1 m - Maximum flow rate: 3.7 m³/s - Bar spacing: 8 mm The HUBER screens will be installed at an angle of 60° as this improves hydraulics, enlarges the screen surface area and reduces the flow velocity between the screen bars. The existing screenings wash presses will be replaced by HUBER Wash Press WAP® HD 8 units and the HUBER wash presses integrated into the existing screenings [...]
[...]Screw presses have been proving their worth for many years at wastewater treatment plants with population equivalents ≤ 100,000 mainly because the simple operating principle offers advantages compared to other continuously operating dewatering units such as decanter centrifuges: The use of the sludge feed pressure (0 – 300 mbar) as a control variable enables automatic adjustment of the machine and flocculant settings to fluctuations in the sludge consistency. Time-consuming readjustments by the operator are thus reduced to a minimum, and the dewatering system can typically be operated unattended[...]
[...]Isle La Plume, WI, USA In 2021, HUBER Technology Inc., the Denver, North Carolina-based subsidiary of HUBER SE, was awarded the contract for the modernisation of the La Crosse wastewater treatment plant located on Isle La Plume. The city of La Crosse, with a population of around 52,000, is located in the state of Wisconsin, which is situated in the Midwest of the USA. Total investment volume of around 60 million US dollars The scope of supply includes a HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® CF in the screen building in the inlet to the WWTP, a HUBER Belt Dryer BT 18 for sewage sludge drying, and a [...]
[...]Sharjah, UAE Population growth in Dubai and adjacent Sharjah is a consequence of rapid development. Population growth, enforced growing wealth and luxury, generate great strain on the infrastructure of these cities. All existing wastewater treatment plants are heavily overloaded. Several treatment plants are presently in the process of becoming extended and upgraded, but even when the construction and installation will be finished, the plants will hardly be able to treat the enormous and ever growing wastewater flows. Because of freshwater scarcity in this arid region, treated wastewater is viewed[...]
[...]Emschermündung, Germany The hydraulic capacity of the wastewater treatment plant Emschermündung is 30 m³/s. This is a gigantic flow, larger than of any other German, perhaps even European, wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater arrives at the plant not via conventional sewers, but its inflow is the river Emscher. The treated effluent of the plant enters the river Rhine. This is the reason why the plant’s name is Emschermündung, meaning “mouth of the Emscher”. The river Emscher flows through the northern part of the old industrial heartland of Germany, the Ruhr region. The Emscher river is [...]
[...]Schallstadt, Germany The energy turnaround has already been under discussion for several years. The events on the energy market in 2022 at the latest have now made it very clear to the public that there is a very great need for reorientation on the “heat market”. The discussions about the right fuel are in full swing. HUBER SE has a solution that does not require any fuel at all: it is based on exploiting the energetic potential of wastewater using the HUBER ThermWin system. Energy from wastewater replaces renewable and fossil fuels In Schallstadt in Baden-Württemberg (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald[...]
[...]By generating electricity and heat from digester gas, operators of wastewater treatment plants with anaerobic sludge stabilisation can generate energy themselves, and thus significantly reduce the purchase of external energy and consistently and sustainably lower their operating costs. Under suitable conditions, by feeding external and organic-rich waste (co-substrates) into the digester, gas and thus energy production can even be increased to the point of energy self-sufficiency. Typically, liquid waste from the food industry or catering (such as grease separator contents or flotate sludge[...]
[...]Newark, UK A HUBER Technology Wastewater Case Study HUBER Technology recently completed a project at Crankley Point STW located in Newark. The scheme was part of a £60 million investment by Severn Trent Water in Newarks waste and water systems to prevent flooding at around 400 homes in Newark. Part of this work involved the construction combined sewer tunnel 2.8m in diameter with a new terminal pumping station built at Crankley Point STW. Project Profile HUBER Technology were first approached to look at the outline design of the project in 2012 directly by Severn Trent Water and as the project [...]
[...]Davidstowe, UK Following successful trials using the HUBER Technology pilot plant Screw Press Q-PRESS®, Dairy Crest Creamery in Davidstowe went ahead and purchased 2 off HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® units complete with polymer dosing, pumps and controls. This has now been followed by a third order to cover for expansion of the effluent plant which has now been successfully installed and commissioned. Four different sludge streams arise from Dairy Crest’s modern effluent plant and it was initially thought they might behave differently with regards to polymer requirements and dewatering potential.
