[...]North America It's the next chapter in the success story of the HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax ® , which has been on the market for many years. As the name CenterFlow already suggests, the incoming wastewater is channelled through the open end face into the "interior" of the screen and the U-shaped bar rack installed parallel to the flow direction. The incoming wastewater flow is broken up and flows through the one-dimensional bar rack arranged to the right and left of the end plate at right angles to the inflow direction before the treated wastewater is deflected a second time by 90° back [...]

[...]Over the years, the screw presses of the Q-PRESS ® series have become one of the most successful HUBER products. The latest leap in development took place with significantly more wear-resistant and powerful scraper lips and matching, higher-torque gearboxes with reduced electrical energy consumption. Current further development: significantly changed filter geometry The two long-proven sizes 280 and 440.2 will in future be equipped with a significantly increased open filter surface. In order to increase the open filter surface, the first, relatively coarse screen section in the inlet area will[...]

[...]Faroe Islands The Faroe Islands are probably known mainly to nature lovers with a penchant for rather unusual destinations. So it was initially something interesting and different for a change when HUBER received an enquiry in mid-2017 for a faecal sludge treatment plant for predominantly domestic sludge. At least 10,000 t of sludge were to be received annually, screened and then dewatered to ≥ 35 % dry residue (DR). Transport with suction and tanker vehicles What makes this project special is first and foremost the input DR: The sludge is collected island-wide with suction and tanker vehicles[...]
[...]Digestate is able to play an important role in soil replenishment, but can require some processing before use as an alternative to mineral fertilisers. The Problem AD plants receive a combination of different food wastes from varying sources, with some coming in retail packaging or containing significant plastics contamination. To utilise the waste, material goes through a de-packaging plant designed to separate the valuable food waste from the packaging. Unfortunately, the side effect is that some plastics are broken into smaller pieces and mixed into the resulting “soup”. While these plants do [...]
[...]Waging am See, Germany HUBER Sludge Thickener excels for its operating reliability and energy efficiency with thickening primary and surplus sludge in automatic mode! In summer 2015, Gemeindewerke Waging (municipal utilities) in the Bavarian Chiemgau district were desperately looking for an energy-efficient, high-performance sludge thickening plant. They wanted a new energy-efficient and well-proven technical solution to replace their old centrifuge which consumed too much energy. Before they decided to buy a new system they tested a HUBER Disc Thickener S-DISC installed in a tank on their sewage[...]
