[...]Bad Orb, Hessen, Germany The further developed HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® was presented for the first time at IFAT 2016. The first units were installed soon and have meanwhile been in operation for more than a year. Now, it is time to review the operational experience gained on site against development targets. In April 2016, a new sludge dewatering system for STP Bad Orb was put out to tender to replace a chamber filter press. Extensive on-site testing was done before in 2015. During the tests, the screw presses turned out to be the most suitable dewatering solution. HUBER offered the newly [...]
[...]Isle of Man, Great Britain The first HUBER Belt Dryer BT installation in Great Britain went officially into operation recently. On the Isle of Man, up to 12,775 t sewage sludge per year will efficiently be dried from now on. HUBER received the order to build a belt dryer on the Isle of Man at the beginning of 2015. The customer wanted to reduce the energy expenditure for sludge drying and the resulting high disposal costs. The HUBER BT 16 achieves this most impressively. The sewage treatment plant of the town Douglas does not have any sludge digestion facilities. There is therefore no exhaust air [...]
[...]As the original designer and manufacturer of the world recognised and respected HUBER STRAINPRESS® pressurised sludge screen, it has been increasingly interesting to us to see the number of different applications where the STRAINPRESS® has been utilised and requested. From its original launch into the market in 1990, with its cast steel casing, chain-drive motors and old stuffing box seals, the unit then underwent a period of innovation in 1999 and the latest design was launched in 2000. The modifications included items such as the whole casing now being manufactured and supplied in 304L stainless[...]
[...]Magilligan, Northern Ireland HUBER Technology successfully completed the NI Water Magilligan WwTW scheme. Project Profile The Magilligan region is located on the north coast of Northern Ireland just north of the town Limvardy. This area is very popular with tourists and incorporates a Blue Flag beach at Benone as well as a significant portion of land designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC).It was concluded from an assessment that a single wastewater scheme for the Magilligan region would be the most cost effective solution whilst offering additional qualitative benefits for the area[...]
[...]Good ideas always find imitators The RakeMax® HF excellently combines the advantages of the well-proven RakeMax® with the positive properties of a screen with a bar rack that is installed with only a small inclination. The multi-rake bar screen RakeMax® for preliminary mechanical wastewater treatment was developed by HUBER in 2003 and presented to the public for the first time at IFAT 2005. Due to its versatility the RakeMax® has since very well proven its efficiency and become firmly established in the global wastewater technology market. More than 1,300 reference installations give proof of [...]
[...]Waßmannsdorf-Berlin, Germany About 3.4 million people live in Germany's capital Berlin presently. Together with the local industries they produce a daily amount of about 600,000 m3 of wastewater under dry weather conditions. The generated wastewater is clarified on six sewage treatment plants, one in the city centre and five large works distributed around the city. These sewage treatment plants discharge their wastewater into a receiving water course each. STP Waßmannsdorf lies in the southern part of the city within intermediate proximity to the new Berlin-Brandenburg airport. With a [...]
[...]Wackersdorf and Föhren, Germany Sand and water, as the most important components for concrete production, are a basis of modern society. Due to the growing world population and the ongoing construction boom, both resources are becoming increasingly scarce. Smart solutions from HUBER are designed to remedy this by exploiting synergies of ecology and economy, thus promoting sustainable grit processing in the disposal industry. Intelligent and efficient products and solutions for grit processing not only in industrial plants include the HUBER Grit Treatment Process RoSF5, with the HUBER Horizontal [...]
[...]Belfast, Northern Ireland Huber Technology successfully completed a large £1.2 million project at Duncrue Street, Belfast. The project consisted of supply of equipment and mechanical installation to the inlet works. Huber Technology worked extremely closely with the main contractor Graham Construction and Northern Ireland Water. Project Profile Any project large or small doesn’t happen overnight and in most cases involves a lot of time and effort from a lot of people with different disciplines, experiences and very importantly local site knowledge needs to be involved. Duncrue Street, Belfast[...]
[...]The HUBER Belt Screen EscaMax® is a system that especially offers our customers excellent separation results. Its high separation efficiency has officially been proven in tests carried out under real conditions with a 6 mm perforation screen. The excellent separation result of 84% has been confirmed by an independent institute. These above average results are on the one hand due to the two-dimensional design of our well-proven EscaMax® screen. On the other hand, such results can only be achieved on the basis of consequent further development and high manufacturing quality. Another positive aspect [...]
[...]Rittersdorf, Germany The clever alternative - example Francois Screw presses have established themselves in the dewatering of municipal and industrial surplus sludge in recent years and have become a cost-effective, low-maintenance and operator-friendly alternative to centrifuges, belt presses or chamber filter presses. HUBER has meanwhile equipped several thousand plants and the machines are not only used for sewage sludge dewatering on municipal wastewater treatment plants, but also for industrial residual sludges (e.g. flotate sludge, sludge containing fibres, etc.) and even mineral sludge [...]
