[...]The HUBER ROTAMAT ® family is the foundation on which HUBER SE started its development in wastewater technology. On this basis, the company has been able to grow and develop continuously. With over 30 different machine types in mechanical pre-treatment alone, HUBER SE has developed into a globally operating company. Nevertheless, the ROTAMAT ® machines remain an important cornerstone of HUBER SE and now demonstrate that this system is still outstanding, especially in large projects with screen basket diameters of over 2 metres. The efficiency and reliability of the ROTAMAT ® technology is even[...]
[...]Floods are a growing and serious threat. With rising sea levels and increasing weather extremes, the frequency and intensity of flooding is increasing worldwide. These natural disasters not only endanger human lives, but also cause considerable damage to infrastructure, property and the environment. Given this reality, it is crucial to take flood prevention measures and implement solutions such as flood-proof doors to minimise the risk and impact of flooding. HUBER Flood-Proof Exterior Door TT6 HUBER has focussed its attention on the development of flood resistant doors and already has a product[...]
[...]Current situation In industrial production, products are typically manufactured from raw materials using water and external energy. In addition to residual and waste materials, used water and not inconsiderable amounts of surplus energy in the form of waste heat are usually generated. In addition to immediate reutilisation of the heat energy within the production process and/or direct discharge from the system via separate cooling systems such as cooling towers, larger amounts of heat are also discharged via the wastewater. Increasing demands on discharge quality requirements Particularly in[...]
[...]Mooresville, North Carolina, USA The ninth belt dryer project was sold in the USA in 2022. The USA has thus established itself as the second largest belt dryer market in the HUBER Group. There is no doubt that the foundation stone for this success was laid in the Mooresville belt dryer project in North Carolina: This year we are celebrating 10 years of operation of the plant in Mooresville. The BT 20 belt dryer (formerly known as BT 5-2) serves the wastewater treatment plant with a maximum capacity of 28,400 m3/d (7.5 MGD). Since its commissioning in 2013, this dryer has made a significant [...]
[...]North America It's the next chapter in the success story of the HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax ® , which has been on the market for many years. As the name CenterFlow already suggests, the incoming wastewater is channelled through the open end face into the "interior" of the screen and the U-shaped bar rack installed parallel to the flow direction. The incoming wastewater flow is broken up and flows through the one-dimensional bar rack arranged to the right and left of the end plate at right angles to the inflow direction before the treated wastewater is deflected a second time by 90° back [...]
[...]Timpanogos, USA After the success story of thermal sewage sludge drying in the USA began with the Mooresville, North Carolina project in 2011 with a total investment volume of approx. 3.8 million US dollars, HUBER Technology Inc., the US subsidiary of HUBER, has now successfully won its largest dryer project to date with two HUBER Belt Dryers BT 30 and an investment volume of approx. 16.35 million USD. The delivery of the two ordered HUBER Belt Dryers of the largest size BT 30 is scheduled for June 2024. Commissioning of the dryers is planned for spring 2025 according to the customer. 4,000 [...]
[...]Salzburg, Austria The wastewater treatment plant in Siggerwiesen in the municipality of Bergheim, which borders the city of Salzburg to the north, has been in operation since 1986 and treats approx. 40% of the total wastewater generated in the city and province of Salzburg. The first expansion of the sewage treatment plant took place between 1994 and 1998, followed by further adaptation measures between 2003 and 2004. With a capacity of 680,000 PE60 and a dry weather inflow of 103,600 m³ per day, the Siggerwiesen municipal sewage treatment plant is the largest in the province of Salzburg. The[...]
[...]Over the years, the screw presses of the Q-PRESS ® series have become one of the most successful HUBER products. The latest leap in development took place with significantly more wear-resistant and powerful scraper lips and matching, higher-torque gearboxes with reduced electrical energy consumption. Current further development: significantly changed filter geometry The two long-proven sizes 280 and 440.2 will in future be equipped with a significantly increased open filter surface. In order to increase the open filter surface, the first, relatively coarse screen section in the inlet area will[...]
[...]Šumperk , Czech Republic On Thursday, 12 October, the official inauguration of the sludge treatment plant at the Šumperk WWTP in the Czech Republic took place. With this state-of-the-art sludge treatment solution, the operator of the wastewater treatment plant, Vodohospodářská zařízení Šumperk, a. s. (VHZ) and its subsidiary, Šumperská provozní vodohospodářská společnost, a.s. (SPVS), have realised a milestone project and are prepared for all future environmental legislation and challenges in the field of sewage sludge treatment. Completed in only three months In a record time of only three months[...]
[...]Faroe Islands The Faroe Islands are probably known mainly to nature lovers with a penchant for rather unusual destinations. So it was initially something interesting and different for a change when HUBER received an enquiry in mid-2017 for a faecal sludge treatment plant for predominantly domestic sludge. At least 10,000 t of sludge were to be received annually, screened and then dewatered to ≥ 35 % dry residue (DR). Transport with suction and tanker vehicles What makes this project special is first and foremost the input DR: The sludge is collected island-wide with suction and tanker vehicles[...]
