Global knowledge transfer: Successful sludge dewatering in India

The joint venture A.T.E. HUBER Envirotech continues to grow in the field of sludge dewatering, achieving considerable success with the HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS®. To provide optimal support for the first commissioning projects in India, twelve of the partner’s service technicians completed two intensive online training courses delivered by the HUBER Service Academy. This laid an important foundation for a smooth project start and the sustainable transfer of knowledge.

Deepening technical and process knowledge

The first training module focused on the technical fundamentals of the supplied machinery. The participants gained structured insights into the design and operation of the Q-PRESS®, specific installation guidelines and systematic commissioning preparation and execution. Thanks to the practical approach, the colleagues developed a solid understanding of mechanical processes and the relevant control functions.

The second training module deepened the process-related know-how that is crucial for stable and efficient operation. Topics covered included design guidelines for peripheral plant components, such as polymer preparation and mixing technology and pumps, as well as setting key control parameters correctly. The participants also learnt how to interpret key performance indicators, optimise processes in a targeted manner, and reliably resolve typical faults. This provided the service technicians with both theoretical knowledge and concrete recommendations for action in the field.

Successful application and strengthened collaboration

The compact training course had an immediate impact: Shortly after it concluded, A.T.E. HUBER Envirotech reported the successful commissioning of a project involving three HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® 440.2 units, leaving the customer highly satisfied. This outcome highlights the importance of joint knowledge transfer and the high quality of the training provided.

The training programme strengthened the technical expertise of our Indian colleagues and also furthered international cooperation. The HUBER Service Academy is thus making an important contribution to global quality assurance and the successful implementation of future projects.
