[...]Digestate is able to play an important role in soil replenishment, but can require some processing before use as an alternative to mineral fertilisers. The Problem AD plants receive a combination of different food wastes from varying sources, with some coming in retail packaging or containing significant plastics contamination. To utilise the waste, material goes through a de-packaging plant designed to separate the valuable food waste from the packaging. Unfortunately, the side effect is that some plastics are broken into smaller pieces and mixed into the resulting “soup”. While these plants do [...]
[...]Waging am See, Germany HUBER Sludge Thickener excels for its operating reliability and energy efficiency with thickening primary and surplus sludge in automatic mode! In summer 2015, Gemeindewerke Waging (municipal utilities) in the Bavarian Chiemgau district were desperately looking for an energy-efficient, high-performance sludge thickening plant. They wanted a new energy-efficient and well-proven technical solution to replace their old centrifuge which consumed too much energy. Before they decided to buy a new system they tested a HUBER Disc Thickener S-DISC installed in a tank on their sewage[...]

[...]Beilngries, Germany The Beilngries wastewater treatment plant is located in the Altmühl Valley, a region very popular with tourists. The plant treats the wastewater of approx. 10,000 inhabitants. The digested sludge is dewatered three times a year over a period of two weeks using a decanter from a contractor. The practice of contract dewatering was then scrutinised for the following reasons: The long stacking of the digested sludge, also due to its cooling, combined with the high throughput rate on the decanter, led to poor dewatering results of only 20% dry matter content in the press cake. [...]

[...]Dublin, Ireland A new Anaerobic Digestion plant outside Dublin, Ireland has been provided with high efficiency HUBER grit removal and grit washing, to ensure trouble free operation and reduced downtime. Background Material accepted at site includes kerbside food waste collection as well as other organic material. This material is de-packaged and screened, but the resulting pulp still contains large amounts of grit (stones, glass, eggshells and bones). If not removed, this grit blocks and abrades both pumps and tanks. In particular the digester itself can accumulate grit, reducing the effective [...]
