[...]HUBER Grit Washing Plants and System Components Separation of organics from the mineral particles Grit Washing Plants Wash Drum Grit from grit traps in wastewater treatment plants, as well as grit from sewer and road cleaning, is heavily contaminated with organic matter and debris. The high organic content, with volatile solids ranging from 10% to 80%, is the primary reason these grit slurries do not dewater efficiently. As a result, the solids concentration remains inconsistent and challenging to manage. The common performance criteria for the quality of grit removal are: The capture rate of [...]
[...]Minimize wear and increase operating reliability For the operating safety and reliability of wastewater treatment plants, it is necessary to separate the grit transported with the wastewater and other mineral materials from the putrescible organic matter. For this purpose, grit chambers of various designs are used in practice. Depending on the type of grit trap, grease can also be separated in addition to grit. The removal of grit from the wastewater serves to prevent operational troubles, such as grit sedimentation (in aeration tanks and digesters), increased wear (of pumps, stirrers) and [...]
[...]Complete Plants are complete systems for the mechanical treatment of small to medium amounts of wastewater from 10 to 300 l/s. Basically, a Complete Plant consists of two main components: screen and grit trap. As an option, other systems can be added, such as screenings treatment units, aeration systems or a grease trap. Since 2000, mechanical state-of-the-art wastewater treatment has additionally comprised a grit washing plant so that the screen, grit trap and grit washer are usually mentioned in the same breath. In case of conventional installations with ‘independent’ units the optimal [...]

Support made of angle profile, for internal bolted mounting under the manhole cover. Guard grate for mounting under the manhole cover and above or next to the climbing system. Both grate and support are shielded arc-welded and acid bath cleaned before washing, drying and surface[...]
[...]Clean water for the Sinai Peninsula: The water treatment plant in Bahr El-Baqar (Egypt) has recently been awarded by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest plant of its kind. Every year, more than two billion cubic metres of water are to be treated here on an area of about 650,000 square metres. The Berching-based company HUBER is supplying, among other equipment, 128 SOLSTICE® sludge turners for the large-scale project, from which about half a million people will benefit in the future. HUBER delivers 128 HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE® units Capacity: over 2,000,000,000 m³ of water per year[...]
[...]On July 25, the first HUBER Cycle Day, no fewer than 85 of our staff came to work on their bicycles. HUBER set up the Cycle Day to point its employees to a good but often forgotten alternative to driving by car. "Our employees drive 16,000 kilometres by car a day to come to work and back home, riding by bike is a possibility to do something for one's health and for the environment", explained Dr. Johann Grienberger. He himself pedalled the 22 kilometres way from home to Erasbach. The company invests 50 Cent per cycled kilometre, i.e. a total of € 992, into the further forestation of the HUBER-Natur-Park[...]
[...]Simple process for the removal of trace substances (fourth treatment stage) No shutdowns necessary for cleaning Reuse of the activated carbon Especially municipal sewage plant effluents are among the most critical paths of entry for micropollutants into surface waters. Many of these so-called trace substances are hazardous to the environment and health, are not readily biodegradable and can accumulate in the environment. With the HUBER Active Carbon Filter CONTIFLOW® GAK, HUBER has developed a versatile and reliable key component for the removal of trace substances (fourth treatment stage), which,[...]
[...]Berching, Germany Anyone planning or operating a wastewater treatment plant, or looking to optimize an existing process, faces growing challenges today. These include stricter legal requirements, rising energy costs and the need for sustainable resource use, all of which require reliable, robust and efficient technical systems. Operating a wastewater treatment plant is like maintaining a finely tuned clockwork mechanism – if one cog fails, the whole system stops working. In such an environment, having a partner who can offer complete, coordinated process chains as well as individual machines is a[...]

[...]Compact design for significant savings in construction costs Best possible fish protection according to US standard EPA 316(b) Act Quick installation and commissioning due to pre-assembly and self-supporting frame Highly efficient and cost-effective operation with minimal maintenance requirements Plant operators require durable fine screening machines to safeguard pumps and membranes from dirt particles migrating to the clean water side. Optimizing the water's flow behavior in the sewer system is crucial. Excessive turbulence can lead to suboptimal pump inflow and must be minimized. More laminar flows[...]
