[...]Schwabach, Koblenz, Frankfurt Niederrad For almost 20 years already, HUBER SE has provided successful solutions for the treatment of road sweepings, sewer grit and grit from sewage treatment plants. With more than 170 projects executed worldwide HUBER has gained extensive experience in the treatment of STP grit, sewer grit and road sweepings. Our solutions have continuously been further developed in the course of the past years. The major challenge has been and still is the different composition of the raw material which can have a massive impact on downstream grit treatment systems. The result[...]

[...]Beijing, China 1. General During the past 20 years China has significantly stepped up its efforts to improve wastewater treatment. Already 3,243 sewage treatment plants were built until June 2012. These state-of-the-art plants clarify an average daily amount of 130 million m³ wastewater. Frequently, however, problems occur especially with sludge digestion due to sediments which hinder optimal digestion and cause wear on the sludge dewatering systems. The problems are caused by the numerous building projects going on in China's cities. A lot of debris, grit and silt, i.e. a lot of inorganic material[...]

[...]Ortenburg, Germany In their meeting of 21 October 2010 the market town council of Ortenburg decided in favour of the concept submitted by the engineering office Richter from Passau. In September 2013, after almost three years of planning and construction, the market town council Ortenburg put the new sewage treatment plant in Blindham into operation within an official ceremony. The new sewage treatment works is designed for 11,000 PE and provides state-of-the-art wastewater treatment. The treated effluent is discharged to the river Wolfach. The HUBER ROTAMAT® Complete Plant, type Ro5 HD with[...]

[...]Beside other elements, phosphorus is essentially required for cell building and is mainly mined outside Europe. Our phosphorus resources are limited. Their price will therefore rise significantly in the future. Phosphorus is a main component of fertilisers and ends up in our food chain either directly via plants or indirectly via animal products. In the human organism phosphorus, as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), has the role of the energy supplier for our cells. About 2 g phosphorus per capita are flushed down the toilet every day. The phosphorus compounds contained within wastewater are [...]

[...]At the IFAT 2005 in Munich the unrivalled market leader in the field of grit washing plants presents itself as a real champion: The 1,000 COANDA Grit Washing units sold impressively demonstrate that this plant is being accepted as the standard solution in mechanical wastewater treatment. When the first pilot plants were built in 1994, many considered it unnecessary to additionally wash the grit produced by a sewage treatment plant. The industry took a stance against this technology regarding it as technically infeasible. When attending site a sense of amusement by the plant operators was [...]

[...]Winterthur, Switzerland The city of Winterthur situated in the Swiss Canton Zurich is certainly not known as much as Bern, Zurich or Geneva but it is Switzerland’s sixth largest city with a very special landmark. The Wintower, erected 1966 by the Swiss company Sulzer AG, was nearly 40 years long the highest high-rise building in Switzerland. When the whole building was renovated recently, this included also the heating and cooling system. The HUBER ThermWin system was selected for wastewater heat utilisation. The Wintower has about 22,000 m² office space distributed on 28 storeys. Due to the complete[...]

[...]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 [...]

[...]Winterthur, Switzerland With each of the following projects our customers substantially contribute to achieving CO 2 reduction goals. Utilisation of heat from wastewater for the Wintower high-rise building at Winterthur 22.000 m² is about the size of three football fields but is also the floor space of the 28 storeys of the Wintower in Winterthur, Switzerland. It is a real heating technology challenge to cool such a building in summer (= additional benefit) and heat it in cold winter months. About 600 kW heating energy is needed in winter. The HUBER ThermWin® system was installed and [...]

[...]Witzenhausen, Germany A sewage treatment plant in Witzenhausen, a retirement home in Switzerland, and an office building in France – What do they have in common? The answer is: They all use eco-friendly, regenerative energy from wastewater during the next heating period. This demonstrates the wide range of applications the HUBER RoWin Heat Exchanger offers. In the shadow of the large order HUBER received from the Ministry of the Interior in Stuttgart it have been the smaller orders which show the wide field of application of the HUBER ThermWin® System. On WWTP Witzenhausen for example the energy[...]
