[...]The faculty of civil engineering and surveying at the technical university of Munich awarded honorary doctorate to Hans G. Huber for his outstanding engineering achievements in the field of technical environmental protection. Hans G. Huber is the managing director of Hans Huber AG, Berching and winner of the German Environmental Award 2006. The technical university of Munich honours an entrepreneur who, as an engineer and scientist, has rendered outstanding services to technical environmental protection, as appreciated in the laudation. As one of the first entrepreneurs in Germany, Hans G. Huber[...]
[...]HUBER emphasizes its international focus: "Hans Huber AG" has been converted as legal successor to a European Corporation "HUBER SE". Huber SE is the legal successor of Hans Huber AG and automatically takes over all rights and obligations of former Hans Huber AG, Maschinen- und Anlagenbau. SE stands for Societas Europaea. This Latin expression means European Corporation, the legal form of a stock corporation within the European Union. Colloquially, the SE is often called simply European AG. Alongside with various legal benefits mainly on business activities within Europe, HUBER as a European [...]
[...]Bavarian Prime Minister honours the wastewater expert for his outstanding services rendered to the Free State of Bavaria and the Bavarian people. In a ceremony in the residency, Munich on 11 July 2007 Hans Huber was honoured by the Bavarian Prime Minister Edmund Stoiber with the Order of Merit, a symbol for the great commitment of citizens for the community. The Bavarian Order of Merit, awarded as an acknowledgement of outstanding achievements and service rendered to the Free State of Bavaria and the Bavarian people, is a symbol for the great commitment of citizens for the community. On the [...]
[...]Berching, Germany Environmental disasters, such as the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the global economic crisis and ever decreasing resources remind us that we urgently need a safe, eco-friendly and financially attractive energy source. Right below the ground, in sewers, is an unnoticed hidden source of energy that fulfils all these criteria: municipal wastewater. The HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin has been developed especially for this application. Heat pumps use environmental energy sources, normally groundwater or air. But both elements have the disadvantage that their energy level [...]
[...]Heating and Cooling Buildings with Wastewater Efficient and sustainable solutions by combining wastewater heat exchanger and heat pump Using wastewater as a heat source and heat sink for heating and cooling buildings reduces primary energy use and saves CO2 emissions. Using wastewater as a heat source and heat sink for heating and cooling buildings reduces primary energy use and saves CO2 emissions. Heating and Cooling with Wastewater from the Sewer System The HUBER ThermWin process allows heating and cooling of buildings using the wastewater in the sewage system as a regenerative energy source[...]
[...]Heating and Cooling with Wastewater Using waste water as a sustainable and regenerative energy source Heat pumps have established themselves as an energy-efficient and sustainable option for heating and also cooling buildings. For heating, the heat pump extracts the heat from a medium and then raises it to a higher temperature level, thus enabling heating of a building. For cooling, it is the other way round: heat is extracted from the building and transferred to a medium. Heat pumps have established themselves as an energy-efficient and sustainable option for heating and also cooling buildings[...]
[...]Future-oriented and sustainable solution for heating and cooling of buildings The HUBER ThermWin process allows heating and cooling of buildings by using the wastewater in the sewer system as a regenerative energy source. Right below the ground, in sewers, is a hidden and seldom used source of energy: our wastewater. Its temperature is usually between 53° and 68° F / 12° and 20° C and hardly drops below 50° F / 10° C even in winter, making wastewater an ideal energy source for operating a heat pump. All larger buildings and local heating networks are suitable consumers of the heating energy obtained[...]
[...]Heating with the Sewage Treatment Plant Effluent Treated wastewater as a regenerative energy source with high energy potential The effluent of a sewage treatment plant represents a great potential for heat recovery and can make an important contribution especially to energy-efficient retrofitting of sewage treatment plants. All the wastewater that has been fed to the treatment plant via the sewage system is discharged into the receiving watercourse via a central outlet after treatment, so that large quantities of water are always available here. In addition, due to biological processes taking [...]
