[...]STP Vorra , Germany STP Vorra chooses a HUBER RoDisc® Screen The trickling filter plant with separate secondary clarification tank on STP Vorra was built in 1982 and had to be redesigned in 2006 to meet ATV-DVWK A281 standards. It was necessary to build a new bigger secondary clarification tank with a volume of 350 m³. Taking into account the conditions on site (soil properties, high groundwater level) the costs for building this new clarifier (including sheet pile, unwatering, distribution structure, inlet/outlet line, secondary clarification tank) were estimated to amount to approximately € 525,000[...]
[...]Zell am See, Austria The Austrian municipalities Zell am See and Bruck an der Glocknerstraße operate a water supply facility together which is fed from a spring at 940 m above sea level. The minimum delivery of the spring is about 40 l/s. It lies in the Fuscher Valley near Salzburg in the Glockner mountain chain. The highest peak of the Glockner mountains and Austria's highest mountain is the Großglockner. Directly after the well shaft the drinking water flows through an inverted syphon through the valley bottom to the inlet structure where it is filtered by a HUBER RoDisc® screen. The RoDisc[...]
[...]The HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® is designed for homogeneous partial drying of dewatered sewage sludge. Due to its compact design and high specific water evaporation, it is ideally suited not only for use in new sewage sludge mono-incineration plants, but also for capacity expansions of existing plants. The dryer can dry exactly to the required DR content, thus enabling self-sustaining combustion in the fluidised bed incinerator. The HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® is available in different sizes, so that a water evaporation of two to six tons per hour and dryer can be achieved. The perfect sewage sludge[...]
[...]Munich, Germany A total of 1,816.6 million hectolitres beer were produced worldwide in 2008. Assuming an average fresh water consumption of 400 litres for one hectolitre beer, this means a fresh water consumption of 726.6 million m³. About one third of the fresh water, however, could be replaced with service water as it is not necessary to use highest drinking water quality in all production areas. A part of the saving potential of 240 million m³ water can only be exploited with the use of new technical solutions. Under a research project of the Bavarian Research Foundation and in cooperation [...]
[...]Applications and Benefits A tailored solution to suit any application: Industrial and municipal applications Primary and secondary treatment stage Protection of membrane plants Replacement for primary settlement tank Load reduction in the biological treatment system through reduction of COD / AFS Screening in the inlet to power plants Treatment of cooling water circuits Brewery wastewater River and sea outfall Surface and river water screening The benefits are obvious Economical channel/machine sizing Low life-cycle costs Easy maintenance and operation Automatic, rotating high pressure system [...]
[...]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 [...]
