[...]Berching, Germany Whether microscreening, pile fabric filtration or GAC adsorption In recent years, hardly any other topic has been discussed more intensively than the introduction of the 4th treatment stage for the targeted removal of trace substances. Even though there are currently no binding legal requirements in Germany, more and more municipalities and wastewater associations are now considering how this treatment stage could be implemented in the near future, taking into account all individual requirements and boundary conditions. In addition to wastewater composition, space conditions and [...]

[...]Parsberg, Germany The town of Parsberg lies in the heart of the Bavarian Jura between Nuremberg and Regensburg. It is particularly popular with tourists as a local recreation area and thanks to its perfect connection to the Five Rivers Cycle Route. The Parsberg sewage treatment plant is located in the valley alongside the Schwarze Laber river. It has a mechanical, biological and chemical treatment stage and is designed for up to 13,300 PE. A two-storey building was specifically constructed on the hilly terrain for local sludge dewatering, which was a conscious decision by the town of Parsberg.[...]

[...]Quarzbichl, Germany Quarzbichl, a material extraction and marketing company, provides municipal waste management services for the districts of Bad Tölz and Wolfratshausen. It also processes compost into high-quality soil on site. The surface wastewater produced is collected in an intermediate storage tank and treated for direct discharge into the Loisach River. The HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plant HDF process was chosen because the wastewater is almost exclusively contaminated with particles, the process effectively separates suspended solids from clear water without blockages, and the resulting[...]

[...]Houston, TX, USA The Challenge: In August 2017, Harvey made landfall in Texas as a Category 4 hurricane, causing unprecedented flooding that resulted in more than 100 deaths and $125 billion in property damage. Hundreds of thousands of homes were destroyed when the area was pummeled with over 40 inches of rain, the wettest storm on record in the United States. Dubbed as “Americas Flooding Capital” by the National Weather Service, the Houston area continues to see frequent major storms. Their system of levees, pump stations, reservoirs and retention ponds are designed to manage the flow of water in[...]

[...]Wittenberge, Germany The Wittenberge municipal utilities have set itself the goal of making the heat supply for the city in north-western Brandenburg and its surrounding districts largely climate-neutral by 2045. As part of municipal heating planning, various options for expanding and decarbonizing the heating network are being investigated. River water as a source of energy A first step in this direction was completed at the end of last year with the construction of a new heating plant featuring a heat pump system, an electric boiler and a CHP unit. The heat pumps use water from the Stepenitz[...]

[...]Germany HUBER offers more than just machines; we provide tailor-made solutions for complex challenges. Our pre-sales services support industrial customers throughout the entire process, from initial contact to final implementation, with a particular focus on flotation, sludge dewatering and screening. The focus is on individual adaptations that meet each customer's specific requirements. Early insights through in-depth laboratory analyses In our laboratory and during on-site analyses and tests, we examine processes such as flotation, sludge dewatering and screening to check the feasibility [...]

[...]Spain Spain and the wider Mediterranean region experience intense rainfall repeatedly within very short time periods. This has increased over the last decade. During such events, when several hundred millimeters of rain fall in a short space of time, the ground can no longer absorb the water. This is particularly the case when the heavy rainfall follows a long period of hot weather with no precipitation. Even the smallest streams can quickly turn into frightening rivers that sweep everything away, causing great damage to people and the environment. Recent events in the greater Valencia area in 2024 [...]

[...]Weißenberge, Germany Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource, even in Germany. As climate change progresses, conflicts over water resources will continue to escalate, particularly in water-intensive agriculture. As part of the ‘HypoWave+’ project, a resource-efficient hydroponic system for water reuse in regional vegetable production was installed and scientifically monitored for the first time in Germany in 2024. Wastewater as a valuable resource for irrigation ’The special feature of the HypoWave system is that we obtain high-quality treated irrigation water from municipal [...]

[...]Øystese, Norway I began my dual Bachelor's degree in Biological and Environmental Process Engineering at HUBER and the East Bavarian University of Applied Sciences in Amberg-Weiden in September 2021. The degree programme focuses primarily on natural sciences and engineering subjects such as fluid mechanics, mechanical and thermal process engineering, and water and wastewater treatment. In addition to theory, several practical projects must also be completed during the study-free periods. Practical experience at the HUBER Technology Center I had the advantage of being able to gain practical [...]

[...]Rednitzhembach, Germany HUBER was awarded the contract in early 2024 to supply and install a HUBER Rotary Drum Fine Screen ROTAMAT® Ro2 with a downstream HUBER Wash Press WAP® for renewing the STW’s screening system. These have now been in operation since the end of August 2024. Technical challenge and solution in the screen channel A particular challenge in this project was that the screen channel had to be widened from 600 mm to 1000 mm in the area of the screen basket. In order to minimize conversion time, which included demolishing the old channel and continuing to operate the sewage treatment[...]
