[...]Munich, Germany On 18th October, Bavarian Economics Minister Zeil handed over the Bavarian Energy Awards 2012. HUBER SE received an award as first place winner in the category Energy Concepts and Initiatives for the innovativ and responsible use of energy. Bavarian Economics Minister Martin Zeil described the prize winning projects as ‘outstanding developments for an innovation-oriented energy turnaround’. The CO 2 -saving project ‘Thermal heat from sewers‘, which HUBER SE implemented in cooperation with the city of Straubing and GFM Ingenieure GmbH, supplies approximately 65% of the heat [...]

[...]Regensburg, Germany In the city of Regensburg in the Upper Palatinate, an administrative district in the Northeast of Bavaria, the new museum of Bavarian history is currently under construction. The worldwide successful environmental company HUBER SE based in Berching is involved in this building project as the supplier of a sustainable, innovative system solution which makes it possible to heat and cool the museum building with energy from wastewater. It is a prestigious project which is of special importance for HUBER, not only due to its proximity to the company's headquarters. Bavaria and[...]

[...]Complete Plants are complete systems for the mechanical treatment of small to medium amounts of wastewater from 10 to 300 l/s. Basically, a Complete Plant consists of two main components: screen and grit trap. As an option, other systems can be added, such as screenings treatment units, aeration systems or a grease trap. Since 2000, mechanical state-of-the-art wastewater treatment has additionally comprised a grit washing plant so that the screen, grit trap and grit washer are usually mentioned in the same breath. In case of conventional installations with ‘independent’ units the optimal [...]

[...]Penrith, UK Originally, the two existing perforated plate (escalator-type) screens at the Penrith wastewater treatment plant discharged their screenings into a launder trough wherefrom they were flushed to a tank incorporating macerator pumps. These pumps grinded the solids and returned them back to the works. Besides the fact that the entire system did only comminute the screenings, but did not remove any solids, the system did not operate reliably. The main problems encountered by the operators were that the macerator pumps required constant maintenance and that, under certain circumstances, the [...]

[...]Berching, Germany Sewage sludge disposal is a key issue on sewage treatment works. Irrespective of the way of sludge utilization, sludge weight and volume are the main causes for high costs. State-of-the-art technology offers several dewatering options but most of these solutions disregard the rich energy potential of filtrate water. The wastewater heat exchanger HUBER RoWin utilises this energy potential. The primary goal of sewage sludge dewatering on wastewater treatment plants is to increase sludge solids contents. With the presently available state-of-the-art technology dry substance contents of [...]

[...]Arosa, Swiss A CO2-neutral hotel with HUBER technology? Yes, Valsana The Valsana Hotel & Apartment Arosa sets new standards for its sustainable energy concept and is heated 100% without fossil fuels. The lifestyle boutique hotel in the popular holiday destination of Arosa in the Swiss Alps has already proven in 2017 that sustainability can be successfully accomplished in harmony with nature and customer needs with an integrated approach in the upscale hotel industry. This pioneering achievement by the Tschuggen Hotel Group as owner of the Valsana was implemented long before the climate debate[...]

[...]Rome, Italy Seven HUBER Sludgecleaner STRAINPRESS® units for improved wastewater treatment for 3.5 million inhabitants: HUBER to renew sludge screening at all three major WWTPs in Rome Rome, which is worldwide known as “The Eternal City”, is the biggest and also capital city of Italy counting more than 4.200.000 inhabitants. As in other metropolitan cities, the issue of efficient management of infrastructure and investment in technological innovation to achieve ever-higher quality is crucial. The entire water cycle from spring water to waste water treatment for the Lazio region is managed by[...]

[...]Over the past ten years HUBER Screw Press units have become the worldwide leading products among the screw presses on the market. Numerous experiences with screw presses on almost thousand installations in various fields of application and long-term trust-based contacts to many plant operators result now in an extensive improvement in screw press efficiency. The new Q-PRESS® excels for several features: Axially dividable filter baskets are optionally available, they facilitate maintenance work significantly. Massive components, such as the screw shaft and some filter elements, can remain in the [...]

[...]Fully automatic throughput and performance control HUBER develops a revolutionary control system for BT Belt Dryers: The system is able to adjust the plant throughput fully automatically to varying dry substance contents in the dewatered sewage sludge. Operator attendance is thus reduced to a minimum. Dewatered sewage sludge, even if coming from a sewage treatment plant, does usually not show constant properties. Variations in organic content, chemical composition or polymer necessarily lead to varying dewatering results. Minor variations can normally be balanced quite well, but variations greater[...]

[...]Constance, Germany Lake Constance, with a water surface of about 536 km² the largest lake in Germany and the largest freshwater reservoir in Central Europe, has been used for the drinking water supply of the city of Constance for more than 110 years. Due to the already excellent quality of Lake Constance water, the waterworks can provide up to 50 million litres of drinking water for the Constance region every day with comparatively few treatment steps. Excellent drinking water quality through microfiltration, ozonation and sand filters The raw water is pumped out of Lake Constance from a depth[...]
