[...]Another milestone in the Hannover-Lahe project of sludge2energy GmbH The two HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® units 2050 M were successfully lifted into place in calendar week 44. A crane unloaded the two disc dryers from the heavy load transporters on site and lifted them directly into the building onto the prepared level. The disc dryers, each weighing around 63 tonnes, are used in the Hannover-Lahe sewage sludge mono-incineration plant (KVA) as pre-dryers for fuel preparation. Thermal drying for further utilisation of the sewage sludge: environmentally friendly heat for around 5,000 households Thermal[...]
[...]Hannover-Lahe, Germany The Hannover-Lahe project of HUBER and sludge2energy GmbH is progressing further: The two HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® 2050 M units are just before their hot commissioning. Using a heavy-duty crane, the two disc dryers, each weighing around 63 tonnes, were unloaded from the heavy-duty transporters on site in November 2021 and lifted directly into the building onto the prepared level. They will be used in the Hannover-Lahe sewage sludge mono-incineration plant (KVA) as pre-dryers for processing the sewage sludge into fuel. Shortly afterwards, the fluidised bed furnace and [...]
[...]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 [...]
[...]Berching, Germany Simple and low-cost method of phosphorus removal from wastewater The nutrients we discharge into water courses (phosphorus, nitrogen) severely impairs water quality in the long run. Even phosphate contents in the lower microgram range can already have a negative effect on the oxygen content in waters and thus increase their eutrophication potential. Eutrophication is referred to as the enrichment of a water body by plant nutrients (overfertilation). These nutrients lead to increased algae growth, and algae make the water turbid. After some time, only the surface-near layer [...]
[...]Sustainable Use of our Waters Municipal wastewater contains between 5 and 15 mg/l phosphorus. If phosphorus is not adequately removed during wastewater treatment, it ends up in the “receiving waters”. In lakes and rivers, phosphorus acts as a nutrient that generally promotes and accelerates plant growth, especially algae growth, which has a negative impact on water quality and thus on the biotic communities in the water body. Reducing phosphorus inputs from municipal wastewater treatment plants is therefore a very important contribution to maintaining or achieving a good ecological status in [...]
[...]Water purification and residue treatment for paper and pulp production and wood processing Water purification and residue treatment Disposal cost reduction Minimizing residues Process water treatment Screening of fines and fibres Cooling wastewater Heat recovery Process and river water treatment In the paper, pulp and wood industries, managing large volumes of water and wastewater is critical due to the significant quantities used in production processes. HUBER offers efficient and sustainable solutions for treating wastewater and minimizing residuals in these industries. HUBER's systems not [...]
[...]Berlin, Germany Reliable and innovative products from Berching for the German capital: HUBER will deliver four RotaDry® disc dryers to Berlin for the Waßmannsdorf sewage sludge utilisation plant, which is located on the site of the sewage treatment plant of the same name. In future, the HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® units will be used for partial drying of up to 40,800 kg/h sewage sludge. 100% thermal utilisation of sewage sludge in future Berliner Wasserbetriebe (BWB) operates six of its own sewage treatment plants in Berlin and the surrounding region. Instead of agricultural utilisation or [...]
