[...]The HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin is unique of its kind. The wastewater heat exchanger brilliantly combines excellent heat transfer and automatic surface cleaning. A screw ensures automatic removal of sediments. The RoWin heat exchanger can therefore be used for any sort of wastewater, though municipal wastewater is certainly the most frequent application. The ‘raw material’ wastewater is taken directly from the sewer or downstream of the mechanical treatment stage on the WWTP. But the thermal energy contained within the wastewater does not get lost on a WWTP. Although the wastewater is in contact with cold ambient air in several tanks, it is on the other hand heated in some processes. It can therefore be assumed that the clarified water has a relatively high temperature when discharged into the receiving water body. Due to the biological treatment stage a certain minimum temperature is required in the inlet to a wastewater treatment works, In the outlet, however, a low temperature is even desired as the introduction of heat into the receiving water system considerably contributes to eutrophication. Unlimited heat extraction at the outlet of a WWTP is therefore no problem. The extraction of energy from wastewater in the inlet to a wastewater treatment plant is therefore a solution that suggests itself. The HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin is of course able to fulfil also this task. But a sediments removal screw seems out of place not only from the point of view of an expert. If the WWTP effluent is utilised, it can be done without a removal screw. Even if the WWTP effluent meets all required parameters related to the substances contained, it cannot be excluded that heat transfer is impaired by sediments on the heat exchanger pipes. The automated cleaning system of the RoWin heat exchanger is therefore kept. In contrast to municipal wastewater upstream of a sewage treatment works, its effluent flows on a higher geodetic level so that it is unnecessary to lift the level, which would be energy and cost-intensive. For optimal utilisation of the potential energy contained within the wastewater flow the best position where to install the heat exchanger is in the outlet channel of the sewage treatment works. As the height of a module and the number of modules are variable, it is possible to install the RoWin either in an existing or suitably designed tank or channel so that no additional installation space is required. Screwable covers ensure on the one hand that legal safety standards are met and guarantee on the other hand easy access for maintenance and repair. The cooling water circuit to the heating station can be installed frost-proof and hidden to the eye to supply the heat pump with eco-friendly, free energy. Municipalities can in this way save considerable energy costs that are necessarily involved when heating digestors or supplying social buildings with conventional energy. Approximately 10 kW heat energy per litre per second can be generated when using HUBER products.[...]

[...]Altmühl-Jura KlimaFit project aims to raise awareness for water and climate Round table with lectures on water and climate, networking talks, and company presentation and tour at HUBER SE Dr. Johann Grienberger (Chief Technology Officer): ”water one of the crucial future issues for mankind” On Thursday, 17 November, the HUBER Forum at the company's headquarters in Berching-Erasbach hosted a round table of the Altmühl-Jura Regional Management on the topic of “Water Future of the Altmühl- Jura Region”. After informative presentations on the future of water and the effects of climate change in the regions of Upper Palatinate and Southern Franconian Alps, a presentation of the HUBER company and subsequent networking discussions, the approximately 50 guests took part in a plant tour. The worldwide climate change has long been felt in the Altmühl-Jura region, which is why measures are planned in the newly launched Altmühl-Jura KlimaFit project to create and promote awareness of the climate issue among the population. On the other hand, platforms are to be offered to discuss the need for action and to work out solutions with experts in the field. As a company based in the municipality of Berching, HUBER provided the platform for the round table on the future of water in the region. Dr Johann Grienberger (Chief Technology Officer): ”Water one of the crucial topics for the future” Dr Johann Grienberger, HUBER's Chief Technology Officer, who is responsible for sustainability and environmental protection, among other things, gave a presentation on the company and emphasised the importance of water and sustainability: ”Water is one of the crucial future issues for mankind. As a continuously growing and globally active company, we will of course continue to make our contribution in the field of water and wastewater treatment and the treatment of sewage sludge. According to our motto: ’We drive the sustainable use of water, energy and resources’.” Andreas Brigl (Managing Director Altmühl-Jura GmbH and First Mayor of Markt Titting): ”Nothing works without water, water is life” Andreas Brigl, Managing Director of Altmühl-Jura GmbH and First Mayor of Markt Titting, thanked HUBER for the invitation to the company's headquarters and highlighted the company's excellent reputation. On the focus topic of the event, he said: ”Nothing works without water, water is life. The effects of water scarcity and climate change are already being felt today. It is time to be careful with the most important resource we have. The goal must be to leave a livable environment for future generations.” Great Interest in the Topic and the HUBER Company With the help of evaluation forms, the team of the Altmühl-Jura regional management, consisting of Silke Arnold and Natalie Breitmoser, who took over the moderation of the evening, evaluated the feedback from the visitors. ”The visitors were very interested in the topic of the evening and in the HUBER company,” says Natalie Breitmoser. ”They all gave very good ratings and would participate in an event of this format again at any time, which of course pleases us and shows the great interest in the topics of water, environment and sustainability.” The Programme „”Water in the Southern Franconian Alps in Times of Climate Change” Dipl.-Geologe Prof. Dr. Martin Trappe (Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt) ”Climate – Water – What can we do here?” Stephan Daum (Ingolstadt Water Management Office for the district of Eichstätt) Manuel Philipp (Nuremberg Water Management Office for the district of Roth) AKTION GRUNDWASSERSCHUTZ – Drinking Water for the Upper Palatinate Claudia Muhr (Government of the Upper Palatinate) Presentation of HUBER SE Dr Johann Grienberger (Chief Technology Officer HUBER SE) „ Networking talks Company tour of HUBER SE The Altmühl-Jura Region The Altmühl-Jura region lives from the cooperation and joint collaboration of the twelve municipalities of Altmannstein, Beilngries, Berching, Breitenbrunn, Denkendorf, Dietfurt, Greding, Kinding, Kipfenberg, Mindelstetten, Titting and Walting in the three districts of Eichstätt, Roth and Neumarkt i.d.OPf. in the three administrative districts of Upper Bavaria, Central Franconia and Upper Palatinate.

For this purpose, the two funding instruments “Regional Management Bavaria” and “LEADER” are promoted in the joint office in Beilngries.[...]

[...]At the IFAT 2005 in Munich the unrivalled market leader in the field of grit washing plants presents itself as a real champion: The 1,000 COANDA Grit Washing units sold impressively demonstrate that this plant is being accepted as the standard solution in mechanical wastewater treatment. When the first pilot plants were built in 1994, many considered it unnecessary to additionally wash the grit produced by a sewage treatment plant. The industry took a stance against this technology regarding it as technically infeasible. When attending site a sense of amusement by the plant operators was apparent as we arrived on site in our blue overalls, carrying tools and hoses to work on the COANDA Grit Washing Plant. But it worked! It worked so well that Huber decided to patent the COANDA Grit Washing Plant and introduced it market wide immediately. The launch was a complete if unexpected success. It should be noted that none of the competitors – with the exception of a small mechanical engineering company, realised that contaminated sewage treatment plant grit could be washed at all. Today, 10 years later, sewage treatment grit washing plants are state-of-the-art technology. Following our lead virtually all of our competitors now offer their grit washing plant. The fact that about 95% of our competitors imitate or follow the HUBER principle underlines the excellent function of our COANDA Grit Washing Plant. With the exception of a few competitors who simply copy the original and consequently face legal action for patent infringement, the others try omitting one patented feature which results in the loss of equipment function and performance. As a result, these copies have significant weak points compared to the original, including the following: The plant requires < 4 mm preliminary screening resulting in a large amount of unwashed grit/gravel bypassing the screening process. Higher wear due to the high speed stirrer Excessive wear caused by large pieces of stone and gravel being in contact with the stirrer. The plant settings have to be changed for coarse grit/gravel or fine grit. The plant has a very high surface characteristic and is therefore unable to achieve the requested separation efficiency. The plant has no separate discharge for washed out organics. The plant works with a constant fluidised bed and therefore achieves only sporadic satisfactory results. At the present time investments required by legislation are frequently postponed due to a lack of funds. The few grit washing projects that are undertaken are subject to increasingly intense competition resulting, in most cases, price being the deciding factor at the cost of functionality and technical features. It is only after the project has been completed and a short time has elapsed that it is found that the separation and washing requirements are not met, the plant produces excessive wear or the minerals yield is unsatisfactory. This then means that an investment is required in order to meet the plant requirements. Continuity and quality has been proven with the Huber unit with over 1000 units in operation. The original Huber unit offers maximum separation and washing efficiency supported by many years of experience and state-of-the-art technology for sewage plant grit treatment. Furthermore, the COANDA Grit Washing Plant can easily be integrated into systems that additionally treat sewer grit, sink pit contents or road refuse. Please do not hesitate to contact us and we will be delighted to show you one of our 1000 reference installations worldwide. Our challenge is customer satisfaction![...]

[...]Jagstzell, Germany HUBER Service and Maintenance Contracts have over the years developed to become a worldwide highly demanded service product of the HUBER Global Service.

[...]Ibbenbüren-Püsselbüren, Germany Ibbenbüren-Püsselbüren WWTP relies on future-oriented partnership with HUBER SE HUBER service and maintenance contracts have become a key success factor on the German market. With more than 4,000 machines and plants benefiting from HUBER service contracts in Germany alone, this reflects the high demand and effectiveness. At the end of autumn 2023, the success story of HUBER Global Service reached another milestone with the conclusion of the 1500th service and maintenance contract for the Ibbenbüren-Püsselbüren wastewater treatment plant. This important milestone was celebrated with a special visit of HUBER SE to the wastewater treatment plant to express their thanks and to honour the excellent partnership and cooperation. Josef Stephan, Service Sales Team Leader for Germany, Austria and Luxembourg, together with his colleagues from the HUBER Global Service Team, Anja Barth (Maintenance Solutions) and Kevin Schneider (Service Consultant International), as well as the regional sales representative, Timo Giese, were warmly welcomed at the Ibbenbüren wastewater treatment plant by Mr Hagedorn (Head of the Municipal Drainage Department) and the Technical Manager, Mr. Scherer. Long-term and trusting customer cooperation Mr Hagedorn impressively illustrated the essential importance of the Ibbenbüren-Püsselbüren mechanical-biological and chemical wastewater treatment plant. This advanced plant is specifically designed to reduce carbon, nitrogen and phosphate compounds extremely efficiently. With a capacity of 121,300 population equivalents, it plays a central role in the comprehensive purification and treatment of wastewater in the region. For Mr Hagedorn, it is extremely important to always have a reliable contact partner for his machine technology. He places his high expectations in the comprehensive expertise of HUBER SE and trusts that he can always count on immediate support in case of any problems or concerns. The HUBER service and maintenance contract forms the basis for a long-term and trusting co-operation that not only guarantees the optimum functionality of the equipment, but also provides a competent partner at his side to master challenges together. Reliability and quality The main reason for the service and maintenance contract after ten successful years of regular one-off HUBER maintenance is the proven reliability and quality of the long-standing partnership with HUBER. In view of current challenges, the contract offers a comprehensive solution with increased operational reliability and a service hotline available around the clock. The proactive detection of wear and the timely replacement of wearing parts, as well as the minimisation of unplanned, often Helmut Hövel, Ibbenbüren-Püsselbüren WWTP manager expensive downtimes underline the strategic decision of the city of Ibbenbüren. The service and maintenance contract thus becomes a decisive instrument for the sustainable and efficient operation of the Ibbenbüren-Püsselbüren wastewater treatment plant. HUBER service and maintenance contract: all-round reliability Following the signing of the contract, HUBER was given an informative tour of the wastewater treatment plant by wastewater foreman Mr Scherer.

[...]Guangzhou, China The 16th Asia Olympics will take place at Guangzhou (Guangdong province), China, from 12 to 27 November. They are the biggest sport event in Asia and held every four years. All Asians, in a fever of excitement, are waiting for the Games to begin, so the venues will certainly be well attended. For such a major sporting event as the Asia Olympics the local infrastructure needs to be modernized and expanded. This includes also wastewater disposal and treatment plants, the capacity of which needs to be extended and their technical standard improved to state-of-the-art. HUBER SE received the order for the supply of 28 RoDisc® Rotary Mesh Screens for the largest WWTP in the city Lie De. The screens will treat the daily produced wastewater of in total more than 2.15 million inhabitants from a connected area of 150 square kilometres. The peak load will be 8,43 cubic metre per second (!). The treated wastewater will be discharged into the river Pearl. The RoDisc® Rotary Mesh Screen is a micro filter and in this project used to pretreat the wastewater prior to its treatment in a UV disinfection plant. Reliable retention of the activated sludge flocs and fine suspended matter not retained by the secondary clarifier is the precondition for a trouble-free and efficient operation of the UV disinfection plant. The virtually solids-free effluent from the disc filter reduces current consumption and increases the efficiency and life of the UV disinfection plant. The RoDisc® Micro Screen works on the basis of the well-proven drum filter principle. The screen consists of 24 horizontally arranged rotating filter discs installed on a central shaft and is submerged by up to 60 % while in operation. The filter discs remain in rest position during the filtration process. The solids settle by gravity on the disc surfaces themselves, which leads to gradual blinding of the mesh with retained solids as the filtration process progresses, resulting in an increasing pressure differential. When the predefined maximum pressure differential has been reached, the solids are removed from the filter surfaces by the slow rotation of the filter discs combined with a spray nozzle bar. The spray nozzles are pump fed utilising some of the filtered wastewater. The removed solids are washed into a trough situated below the segment openings prior to being discharged to the WWTP inlet and the filtration process runs on continuously whilst the filter discs are being cleaned. One filter disc consists of 12 individual filter segments made of high-quality polypropylene. The filter mesh is in this project a stainless steel mesh. Thermal embedding has been applied to fix the mesh on the filter plates. The advantages of this sort of mesh are in particular its defined separation size, long life and stability. Thermal embedding achieves the form-locked connection of the mesh with the filter plate so that the mesh is durably protected and safely fixed. Project Scope HUBER SE has equipped other large projects in China with RoDisc® Rotary Mesh Screens. Disc filters have been supplied also to the WWTPs Shi Jing (6 RoDisc® 30), Jiang Ning I (2 RoDisc® 20), iang Ning II (4 RoDisc® 26) and Wuxi (2 RoDisc® 20). Due to its low pressure loss and space requirement, the disc filter could be integrated without the need to change the WWTP concept but with the result of a significantly improved and reliable effluent quality.[...]
