[...]The combined sewer tunnel in Lisbon is a state-of-the-art infrastructure project that protects the city from flooding caused by heavy rainfall and drains urban wastewater during dry weather periods. In the past, extreme rainfall of up to 60 mm per hour repeatedly caused considerable damage in lower-lying districts of the city. The Túnel Monsanto-Santa Apolónia, the so-called ‘mega tunnel’, is the city administration's largest construction project to date and a central component of the urban climate adaptation strategy. With a length of exactly 4,975 metres and an internal diameter of 5.5 metres[...]
[...]The success story of the HUBER ROTAMAT® machine family began 45 years ago. The patent for the HUBER Fine Screen ROTAMAT® Ro1 was filed at that time, and the ROTAMAT® family has continued to prove itself ever since through continuous innovation and adaptation. The patent described a combination of screening, dewatering, compaction and transport. Over the years, further variants of the Ro1 system, which is equipped with a screen basket and a rake, have been developed. These include the Ro2 with a rotating wedge wire basket, the RPPS, which has a perforated plate screen basket, and the latest variant[...]
[...]HUBER Technology Nordics supplied a mobile, high-performance wastewater treatment solution for the start of production at a newly built fish processing plant in Ulvan, Norway. The containerised rental plant with integrated HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plant HDF was installed on behalf of Måsøval Fiskeoppdrett AS Slakteri and ensures compliance with environmental standards during the commissioning of the new production facility. Mobile wastewater treatment at the highest level A HUBER HDF S8 rental plant with a throughput capacity of up to 100 m³/h is used. The entire plant is housed in two 40[...]

[...]Dharan, Saudi Arabia Section 1 There are different types of grit traps: longitudinal grit traps (unaerated or aerated) and circular grit traps. Circular grit traps are subdivided into two subcategories: simple hydraulic units and Vortex plants which, independent of the flow rate, keep constant the rotary speed of the wastewater within the grit trap. Four of such VORTEX grit trap plants, which we call VORMAX, were put into operation in Dharan a year ago. The VORMAX units certainly cannot complain about too little sand there in Saudi Arabia, the country of sand. A HUBER Fine Screen STEP SCREEN® SSV[...]
[...]Munich, Germany The new HUBER Pile Cloth Media Filter RotaFilt® will celebrate its premiere at IFAT 2022: HUBER will exhibit an original machine of this filter type at the world’s leading trade fair for environmental technologies. The HUBER Pile Cloth Media Filter RotaFilt® consists of several disc-shaped and revolving arranged filter elements mounted on a center tube. These are installed vertically and fitted with special filter bags made of innovative pile cloth fabric. The pile fabric has a multidimensional structure and consists of a filter-active pile fabric layer and a support fabric. The [...]
[...]Challenges in mechanical preliminary wastewater treatment Screens, such as the HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® , are used in the inlet of wastewater treatment plants to remove coarse contaminants from the incoming wastewater stream. At the same time, such preliminary screens also protect the operation of downstream machinery and units, such as a screw conveyor or a wash press, and ensure the smooth operation of the entire wastewater treatment plant. In addition to the type of material to be expected, however, other unforeseen materials often get into the inlet of the sewage treatment plant[...]
[...]Lyon, France In the south-west of Lyon, France's third largest city, the new modern La Saulaie district is currently under construction. It will provide new flats and houses for more than 2,000 people as well as commercial space, parks and leisure facilities. The existing district on the banks of the Rhône is being modernised and extended on the currently unused site of the French railway company SCNF. Sustainable energy supply As the issue of sustainability plays a similarly important role in France as it does in Germany, a sustainable energy supply for the district was particularly important[...]
[...]San Diego, USA Because inadequate filtering was allowing hair, fiber and sand contaminants to work their way through its treatment process, The City of San Diego Public Utilities Department Wastewater Branch (the Branch) sought out sludge cleaning technology that could integrate into its existing system. In an interview with Senior Plant Technology Supervisor, Ted Taylor, Huber Technology learned how its sludge screening technology helped Ted and his crews realize benefits that reached far beyond simply reducing contaminants. By putting six HUBER STRAINPRESS® Sludgecleaner SP units in place, [...]
[...]Greenville, USA The City of Greenville’s Wastewater Reclamation Center had been operating in a “vintage 1953” facility and – despite a couple of upgrades – it was still behind peer facilities in the modernization of its equipment and processes. Just a few years ago, a new facility was built beside the existing facility. The old plant was demolished upon the new facility’s completion. Updates driven by new technologies and equipment greatly improved Greenville’s operations. Making fact-based choices Greenville researched industry standards in all areas and brought in those that best fit its [...]
