[...]Varna, Bulgaria The Bulgarian Black Sea Coast along the city of Varna with 300,000 residents is an important economic factor, especially due to its touristic potential. The European Union decided in 2002 to give aid money for the protection of the Black Sea, in particular for upgrading and building new local sewage treatment plants. The capacity of the sewage treatment plant at Varna could therefore be expanded to 450,000 PE and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The main intention was to minimise the direct discharge of untreated wastewater to the Black Sea. They wanted to achieve that [...]

[...]Erlangen, Germany Convincing belt drying solution for sewage sludge At the beginning of 2021, HUBER was awarded the contract for the supply of a HUBER Belt Dryer BT 16 for WWTP Erlangen after an EU-wide public tender. In the run-up to the tender for this advanced sludge treatment project for a volume of 15,700 t/a, several processes were investigated. These were: Solar Sewage Sludge Drying Hydrothermal carbonisation Belt drying The decision was made in favour of the belt drying option, as this drying process allows the sewage sludge to be dried continuously to >= 90% DR. The thermal energy demand of[...]
[...]Sargans, Switzerland High level of user-friendliness increased even further In Sargans, Switzerland's first HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS ® Q 800.2 was installed in 2017 for dewatering digested sewage sludge. The latest generation of screw press could win the competition against other systems due to its very high operational reliability and user-friendliness, complete stainless steel construction and very low operating costs. The demands on the system are extremely high. An essential factor is the required DR concentration in the dewatered sludge of over 30% with simultaneously clear filtrate quality.[...]
[...]Prepared for the future with HUBER Retrofit Service The ravages of time not only affect the machine technology, but also the associated switchboard and control system. As a result, failures and malfunctions occur more frequently, especially on the sensitive PLC (programmable logic controller) components. With outdated hardware, a standstill in the near future is unavoidable. Function and operational safety are no longer guaranteed. Moreover, the manufacturers of the PLC hardware are already focusing on new technologies (IoT, Industry 4.0, etc.). This means that spare parts procurement is no longer possible[...]

[...]Amsterdam, Netherlands When the Dutch sewage treatment plant Amsterdam-West was modernised in 2006 it was redesigned for the treatment capacity of 1,000,000 PE. In addition, more than another 1,000,000 PE external sludge can be treated there. In the past, particularly the treatment of primary sludge was a problem in terms of the operating reliability of the entire sludge line. The solids contained in the different types of pre-treated sludge and from the transport tanks cause high wear and lead to unforeseeable maintenance work requirements on pumps, digestor internals and sludge dewatering [...]
[...]Salt Lake City, USA Solar drying of sewage sludge is a technique that is increasingly used to reduce sludge disposal costs and at the same time protect the environment. Today, operators of even medium-sized and large wastewater treatment plants from all over the world appreciate our innovative and reliable solar dryers.
