[...]Beilngries, Germany The Beilngries wastewater treatment plant is located in the Altmühl Valley, a region very popular with tourists. The plant treats the wastewater of approx. 10,000 inhabitants. The digested sludge is dewatered three times a year over a period of two weeks using a decanter from a contractor. The practice of contract dewatering was then scrutinised for the following reasons: The long stacking of the digested sludge, also due to its cooling, combined with the high throughput rate on the decanter, led to poor dewatering results of only 20% dry matter content in the press cake. [...]

[...]Dublin, Ireland A new Anaerobic Digestion plant outside Dublin, Ireland has been provided with high efficiency HUBER grit removal and grit washing, to ensure trouble free operation and reduced downtime. Background Material accepted at site includes kerbside food waste collection as well as other organic material. This material is de-packaged and screened, but the resulting pulp still contains large amounts of grit (stones, glass, eggshells and bones). If not removed, this grit blocks and abrades both pumps and tanks. In particular the digester itself can accumulate grit, reducing the effective [...]

[...]Ontario, Canada Official groundbreaking ceremony: Markham District Energy (MDE) has announced the start of the world's largest wastewater-to-energy transfer project at its Low Carbon Energy Centre in downtown Markham. MDE will use the HUBER ThermWin system to recover and utilise energy from wastewater. This will significantly reduce the carbon footprint and provide energy for the residents and infrastructure of Markham. 18 MW of low carbon thermal energy The HUBER ThermWin system in this project consists of five HUBER Pumping Stations Screen ROTAMAT® RoK4 700XL and 16 HUBER Heat Exchanger [...]
[...]Kaditz, Germany Hot and greasy – sludge screening with the STRAINPRESS® On the way from a sewage treatment works to an energy park – Stadtentwässerung Dresden undertake a variety of measures on STP Kaditz to achieve this goal. One of these measures is the acceptance and treatment of foreign material for co-fermentation in the digesters. They want to use the energy-rich grease sludge to increase the gas production in the two 10,500 m³ digesters and thus achieve a significantly higher energy production in the two block heat and power plants. The grease separator contents delivered by tanker [...]
[...]Braunschweig, Germany The "baby" solar dryer is back In 2012, HUBER SE manufactured a mobile solar dryer in a container for Expoval Sludge, a research project supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The dryer was extensively tested in cooperation with the Institute for Sanitary Engineering of the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany, in Poland and in Colombia. The results achieved with the dryer were summed up in a DWA work sheet on solar sludge drying. The baby solar dryer was recently taken out of the research project and overhauled.
