[...]Pöndorf, Austria Pöndorf, located in western Upper Austria, is home to a historical landmark: the former border wall that marked the boundary between Bavaria and Upper Austria for 342 years, from 1437 to 1779. The Maier butcher's shop is also a Pöndorf landmark, renowned for its excellent products throughout the country for generations. It already had two mechanical wastewater pre-treatment systems, one of which was for livestock truck wash water. Unexpected sediment accumulation During the last aeration tank inspection, the municipal sewage treatment plant in Pöndorf, with a capacity of 7,850 [...]

[...]Villach, Austria For many decades, the coarse screens designed as direct current screens served their purpose in the Villach sewage treatment plant, which has a capacity of 250,000 PE. During rainfall events, it often happened that the resulting amounts of screenings could no longer be conveyed because the single rake was unable to hold them. The reason for this was that the clearing interval lasted more than one minute – a circumstance that led to the accumulation of screenings in front of the screen during a flushing surge, which in turn often resulted in the collapse of the screening system. [...]

[...]Bickenbach, Germany After around three years of construction, the quaternary treatment stage at the Bickenbach wastewater treatment plant was officially commissioned on 2 April in the presence of numerous representatives from business and politics. The quaternary treatment stage in Bickenbach treats up to 150 litres of wastewater per second and will in future reliably retain the largest proportion of hazardous and persistent micropollutants such as pharmaceutical residues, hormones, biocides and household chemicals. Minister Hofmann: ‘Today is a good day for Bickenbach, for the whole region, for [...]

[...]Berching, Germany Whether microscreening, pile fabric filtration or GAC adsorption In recent years, hardly any other topic has been discussed more intensively than the introduction of the 4th treatment stage for the targeted removal of trace substances. Even though there are currently no binding legal requirements in Germany, more and more municipalities and wastewater associations are now considering how this treatment stage could be implemented in the near future, taking into account all individual requirements and boundary conditions. In addition to wastewater composition, space conditions and [...]

[...]Parsberg, Germany The town of Parsberg lies in the heart of the Bavarian Jura between Nuremberg and Regensburg. It is particularly popular with tourists as a local recreation area and thanks to its perfect connection to the Five Rivers Cycle Route. The Parsberg sewage treatment plant is located in the valley alongside the Schwarze Laber river. It has a mechanical, biological and chemical treatment stage and is designed for up to 13,300 PE. A two-storey building was specifically constructed on the hilly terrain for local sludge dewatering, which was a conscious decision by the town of Parsberg.[...]

[...]Quarzbichl, Germany Quarzbichl, a material extraction and marketing company, provides municipal waste management services for the districts of Bad Tölz and Wolfratshausen. It also processes compost into high-quality soil on site. The surface wastewater produced is collected in an intermediate storage tank and treated for direct discharge into the Loisach River. The HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plant HDF process was chosen because the wastewater is almost exclusively contaminated with particles, the process effectively separates suspended solids from clear water without blockages, and the resulting[...]

[...]Houston, TX, USA The Challenge: In August 2017, Harvey made landfall in Texas as a Category 4 hurricane, causing unprecedented flooding that resulted in more than 100 deaths and $125 billion in property damage. Hundreds of thousands of homes were destroyed when the area was pummeled with over 40 inches of rain, the wettest storm on record in the United States. Dubbed as “Americas Flooding Capital” by the National Weather Service, the Houston area continues to see frequent major storms. Their system of levees, pump stations, reservoirs and retention ponds are designed to manage the flow of water in[...]

[...]Wittenberge, Germany The Wittenberge municipal utilities have set itself the goal of making the heat supply for the city in north-western Brandenburg and its surrounding districts largely climate-neutral by 2045. As part of municipal heating planning, various options for expanding and decarbonizing the heating network are being investigated. River water as a source of energy A first step in this direction was completed at the end of last year with the construction of a new heating plant featuring a heat pump system, an electric boiler and a CHP unit. The heat pumps use water from the Stepenitz[...]

[...]Spain Spain and the wider Mediterranean region experience intense rainfall repeatedly within very short time periods. This has increased over the last decade. During such events, when several hundred millimeters of rain fall in a short space of time, the ground can no longer absorb the water. This is particularly the case when the heavy rainfall follows a long period of hot weather with no precipitation. Even the smallest streams can quickly turn into frightening rivers that sweep everything away, causing great damage to people and the environment. Recent events in the greater Valencia area in 2024 [...]
