[...]Munich, Germany As part of Munich's Education Construction Initiative, Germany's largest municipal education construction programme, it was decided in 2020 to build a new daycare center with three nursery groups in the Freimann/Kleinlappen district. The chosen location was an undeveloped plot of land on Josef-Wirth-Weg. A special feature of the building site is a sewer that runs slightly elevated in a dam to the north of the property. This sewer is not just a simple collection channel, but one of the main inflows to Munich's Gut Großlappen sewage treatment plant. Sustainability was a guiding [...]
[...]Central Hesse, Germany Mittelhessen University of Technology (THM) university of applied science intends to exploit a previously quite unknown potential with a new system: heating and cooling with energy from wastewater. The new plant, with the HUBER ThermWin system at its core, was commissioned at the end of May by THM's executive committee, Giessen's Mayor Frank Tilo Becher and Ayse Asar, State Secretary at the Hessian Ministry of Science and Art (HMWK). THM President Prof. Dr Willems: “previously untapped wealth” The plant is located at THM's Wiesenstraße campus. With canteens, numerous [...]
[...]Berching, Germany Sewage sludge disposal is a key issue on sewage treatment works. Irrespective of the way of sludge utilization, sludge weight and volume are the main causes for high costs. State-of-the-art technology offers several dewatering options but most of these solutions disregard the rich energy potential of filtrate water. The wastewater heat exchanger HUBER RoWin utilises this energy potential. The primary goal of sewage sludge dewatering on wastewater treatment plants is to increase sludge solids contents. With the presently available state-of-the-art technology dry substance contents of [...]
[...]One of our guiding principles is to take on our responsibility for the environment and see water, wastewater and energy as a whole. We therefore promote the sustainable use of energy by using innovative technologies. According to a study of the Frauenhofer Institut electric motors are responsible for about 40% of the total power consumption worldwide and about 70% of the power consumption in industries. The international standards IEC 60034-30 dealt with the energy consumption of rotating electric machines already before 2009. The modified DIN EN 60034-30-1 published in 2014 picks up these requirements[...]
[...]Innsbruck, Austria Innsbrucker Kommunalbetriebe AG (IKB) invest into a HUBER Belt Dryer BT 16. With its strategy “ from sewage works to power plant ”, IKB’s wastewater treatment plant Innsbruck sustainably produces energy and intelligently integrates it into its existing system. The aim is to further increase the efficiency of the complete sewage treatment works and make it one of the most modern plants in Europe. With its about 130,000 inhabitants, Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, is the fifth largest city of Austria and produces 50,000 m³ wastewater a day (peak: 145,000 m³) together with its 14 [...]

[...]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[...]
