[...]Products and solutions for the safe operation of sewer systems and the protection of our environment Only with a functioning sewer network can secure wastewater disposal be ensured that meets both water protection and flood protection requirements. Combined sewers carry the wastewater together with the rainwater that accumulates on paved surfaces (roofs, roads, etc.). In a separate sewer system, wastewater and stormwater are collected separately. The disadvantage of separate sewer systems is higher investment costs, the advantage is that less wastewater has to be treated in the sewage treatment plant, as the rainwater can be infiltrated or discharged into a body of water. HUBER has various products and solutions to meet the challenges associated with the operation and maintenance of a sewer system. HUBER offers a range of products and solutions for the sewer system Screens for pumping stations : Trouble-free operation of pumping stations in the sewerage system can be achieved if pumping stations are equipped with appropriate screening systems to ensure that coarse material is safely removed. Combined wastewater screening : Before stormwater and combined sewage are discharged into a watercourse, screening plants are used to separate larger solids from the wastewater. Road run-off treatment plant (SABA) : Special plants for the treatment of precipitation water that is to be drained and treated from roads and other traffic-related surfaces. Protection against flooding and backwater : Heavy rainfall events are increasingly causing flooding. Structures should therefore be equipped with suitable products that provide protection against flooding and backwater. Access solutions for manholes and tanks : Stainless steel components such as manhole covers, ladders, step irons, railings, access aids and prefabricated manholes. Heating and cooling with sewer water : Wastewater in sewers usually has a temperature between 12° and 20° C, and even in winter the temperature hardly ever drops below 10° C. The HUBER ThermWin process ensures that wastewater from sewers can be used as a renewable energy source for heating and cooling buildings. Treatment of mineral waste : In the sewer system, deposits accumulate time and again, which have to be removed regularly during sewer cleaning. These deposits are an inhomogeneous mixture of mineral solids contaminated with organic material. HUBER offers solutions for the treatment of mineral waste and thus enables more cost-effective disposal.[...]

[...]Process technology for the treatment and recycling of biowaste Saving disposal costs Treating process water and purifying wastewater Minimising residues Separating disturbing solids (plastic) Reducing operating costs The aim of biological waste treatment is to recover energy from the organic fraction of household waste as well as from organic waste, such as biowaste and food waste. For dry aerobic treatment (composting) and wet anaerobic treatment (fermentation with biogas production), good mechanical pre-treatment of the supplied biowaste is essential for the reliability and performance of the entire treatment plant. Targeted treatment of the separated solids and the fermentation residues with the right machine technology reduces disposal costs. Tailor-made treatment of process water and wastewater enables internal water cycles, leads to reduced operating costs and enables sustainable use of water resources. Most important is not only the choice of effective and efficient processes, but also their implementation with most robust and dependable machines; both are also important for the quality of the generated products. HUBER products and solutions for your requirements Organic waste is supplied in solid or liquid form, the latter being mainly contents of grease traps. For reception bunkers we supply customised HUBER Manhole Covers made of stainless steel. The supplied waste is first ground in a mill and conveyed to a pulper whereby metals are separated. In the pulper, they are soaked in hot process water, mixed and disinfected. The thus generated hot slurry is then mechanically pre-treated in a HUBER Complete Plant ROTAMAT® Ro5 Bio (special Bio version) that is specifically adapted for this task, or in a HUBER Longitudinal Grit Trap Ro6 Bio . Debris and other disturbing solids (e.g. packing and wrapping materials) are removed with an integrated Fine Screen, and heavy mineral solids (e.g. stones, grit, sand and broken glass) are separated in an aerated Grit Chamber. The removed screenings are washed and compacted, the separated mineral solids are washed and dewatered in our HUBER Coanda Grit Washer RoSF4 . The compacted screenings are incinerated as solid waste, and the washed grit is reused as construction material. In order to remove even finer solids (e.g. hair and fibres) that could clog heat exchangers and form disturbing scum layers in the fermenter, the slurry is pumped through our HUBER Sludgecleaner STRAINPRESS® before being fed to the fermenter. Within the fermenter the organic substrate is anaerobically degraded whereby biogas is produced. The biogas is used to generate power and heat in a cogeneration plant. The non-degradable fermentation residues are dewatered with our HUBER Screw Press S-PRESS . Dewatered fermentation residues can be utilized as fertilizer and for soil improvement. Wastewater that has been generated in the various treatment processes is collected, chemically conditioned and treated in a HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plant HDF . The HDF effluent can be used as internal process water. Our solutions for your challenges: COD, fat and solids reduction Reliably comply with discharge limits Reduce operating costs for wastewater treatment Reduce disposal costs for waste and sludge Recover wastewater heat and reduce wastewater temperature Access solutions for manholes and tank Water reuse[...]

[...]Heating and cooling with wastewater as a regenerative energy source Buildings play an important role in the fight against the threat of climate change. Worldwide, real estate is one of the largest consumers of fossil fuels, which are used for heating and cooling, among other things. Rising living standards and the overall increase in population will cause consumption to rise further if we do not succeed in improving energy efficiency. In addition to the right choice of building materials and good thermal insulation, the most important thing is to choose the right system for heating and cooling. HUBER has solutions that allow to use the wastewater in the sewer station as a regenerative energy source. HUBER solutions for heating and cooling with wastewater Wastewater heat exchanger in combination with heat pump Particularly efficient solutions can be achieved with heat pumps that draw energy from the wastewater and not from the outside air. Since wastewater is significantly warmer in winter and significantly colder in summer than the outside air, the heat pump can be operated with a higher degree of efficiency. The core of the entire process is a HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin , which extracts energy from the wastewater, combined with a heat pump, which raises the energy for heating to a higher temperature level and thus makes it usable for larger buildings. Wastewater heat pumps can not only be used for heating buildings and the water in large buildings, but are also suitable for cooling rooms during the warmer months of the year. The heat pump works in reverse, i.e. it extracts heat from the building and transfers it to the wastewater with the help of the HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin. Large properties near large sewers or the sewage treatment plant A prerequisite for using wastewater as a regenerative energy source is a sufficient amount of wastewater. For this reason, property locations that are close to large sewers or sewage treatment plants are particularly advantageous. Suitable buildings are all properties that have a high heating and/or cooling demand, such as hotels, shopping centres, administrative buildings, schools, homes, housing estates, industrial buildings, hospitals, swimming pools. Heating and cooling with wastewater : HUBER has the right solutions for heating and cooling large buildings using wastewater energy from the sewage system or wastewater treatment plant.[...]
