[...]Challenges in mechanical preliminary wastewater treatment Screens, such as the HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® , are used in the inlet of wastewater treatment plants to remove coarse contaminants from the incoming wastewater stream. At the same time, such preliminary screens also protect the operation of downstream machinery and units, such as a screw conveyor or a wash press, and ensure the smooth operation of the entire wastewater treatment plant. In addition to the type of material to be expected, however, other unforeseen materials often get into the inlet of the sewage treatment plant[...]

[...]Lyon, France In the south-west of Lyon, France's third largest city, the new modern La Saulaie district is currently under construction. It will provide new flats and houses for more than 2,000 people as well as commercial space, parks and leisure facilities. The existing district on the banks of the Rhône is being modernised and extended on the currently unused site of the French railway company SCNF. Sustainable energy supply As the issue of sustainability plays a similarly important role in France as it does in Germany, a sustainable energy supply for the district was particularly important[...]

[...]San Diego, USA Because inadequate filtering was allowing hair, fiber and sand contaminants to work their way through its treatment process, The City of San Diego Public Utilities Department Wastewater Branch (the Branch) sought out sludge cleaning technology that could integrate into its existing system. In an interview with Senior Plant Technology Supervisor, Ted Taylor, Huber Technology learned how its sludge screening technology helped Ted and his crews realize benefits that reached far beyond simply reducing contaminants. By putting six HUBER STRAINPRESS® Sludgecleaner SP units in place, [...]

[...]Greenville, USA The City of Greenville’s Wastewater Reclamation Center had been operating in a “vintage 1953” facility and – despite a couple of upgrades – it was still behind peer facilities in the modernization of its equipment and processes. Just a few years ago, a new facility was built beside the existing facility. The old plant was demolished upon the new facility’s completion. Updates driven by new technologies and equipment greatly improved Greenville’s operations. Making fact-based choices Greenville researched industry standards in all areas and brought in those that best fit its [...]

[...]Over 100 completed orders, a total of almost 300 machines in operation in 22 different countries and yet there are still applications where there is a need for a trial. "Trial makes perfect", be it on municipal wastewater treatment plants or for special industrial sludge, the spectrum is diverse. For this purpose, HUBER provides a trial unit of the Sludge Turner SOLSTICE ® , called "HUBER Baby SOLSTICE ® ", on a reduced scale. In the field for over 10 years The trial unit has now been in operation for over 10 years. After trials in Germany, the plant was mainly used in South America. Since [...]

[...]The first HUBER service consultant tour in New Zealand, organised and planned by our long-time service consultant Martin Burger, marked a significant milestone for HUBER. With a time difference of 12 hours and a flight time of approx. 22 hours, he was faced with great challenges, which he successfully mastered together with colleagues from our partner company Hydroflux at the end of 2024. In his report, Martin Burger talks about an unforgettable journey: ‘New Zealand, known for its active volcanoes and impressive landscapes, provided the setting for a tour full of technical highlights and [...]

[...]Muta Mazar, Jordan Until now, most of the sewage sludge produced in Jordan has been stored in open areas or in landfills that are usually unsuitable for this purpose. This approach has a negative impact on the quality of the surface and groundwater in the affected regions and also causes high emissions due to the release of methane. In practice, it also means that existing resources remain unutilised. Improving sewage sludge management With the aim of improving the economic and ecological sustainability of sewage sludge management in the country, similar projects are currently being planned in many[...]

[...]Madrid-Butarque, Spain It is a successful large-scale project at the gates of the Spanish capital: HUBER successfully commissions 18 HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® units in the Madrid-Butarque stormwater retention basin. After ten years of less than satisfactory operation with products from other manufacturers, combined with high additional expenses, the City of Madrid renewed the facility in the south of the city with innovative and reliable products from HUBER. With a capacity of up to 400 million litres (400,000 m³), the stormwater retention basin is one of the largest of its kind in[...]

[...]Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, Germany In August 2023, after more than two years of construction, one of the most cutting-edge systems for the removal of trace substances was successfully put into operation at the Uhldingen-Mühlhofen association sewage treatment plant. At the heart of the new treatment stage is a combined process of ozonation and activated carbon filtration on a technical scale that had not yet been implemented to date. 24 HUBER CONTIFLOW® GAC activated carbon filters and HUBER TT7 pressure door HUBER supplied the two-lane activated carbon stage with a total of 24 CONTIFLOW® GAC activated[...]
