[...]Like mechanical components, the control system components of your HUBER machine are subject to natural ageing and wear. These can have a negative effect on the function and operational safety of the plant and impair it. In the worst case, this can result in machine failure – with far-reaching consequences. In practice, in such a "worst case scenario", the machines are operated non-stop or safety devices are bypassed. This can lead to extreme wear or even mechanical damage to the machines and, in the worst case, to accidents and personal injury. Long machine downtimes and thus high costs are [...]

[...]Plymouth, England Background Site operators at Plymouth Central STW wanted a more reliable and less labour intensive option to de-watering than a centrifuge. South West Waters requirements were lowest WLC, low operator attendance and simple operation South West Water had been looking at alternative dewatering technologies with lower TOTEX to potentially replace existing veteran centrifuge assets and tasked preferred contractor Kier to offer solutions for the Plymouth Central and Maer Lane WwTWs. Plymouth Central serves a Population Equivalent of around 320,000 and, being on a coastal port [...]

[...]The advanced treatment of sewage sludge or industrial residual sludge is increasingly gaining in importance also for industrial customers. Whereas, until recently, the common strategy was to pass the sludge on to disposal companies at low costs, this has now become more and more complicated, difficult and especially more expensive due to the modified and now more stringent German Fertilizer Regulation and Waste Sewage Sludge Ordinance and because of the generally increasing costs in the disposal industry. Therefore, industrial customers increasingly concern themselves with strategies how to additionally[...]

[...]Freystadt, Germany Due to the new regulations and legislation for sewage sludge, disposal costs have doubled for many sewage treatment plants or increased to far more than 100 € per ton original substance. The reason for the cost increase is that the standard solution for meeting the requirements of the new legislation is sludge incineration. Incineration capacities are however unequally distributed and exploited to a large extent, and transport ways have become longer on many sites. Disposal costs can be reduced if the sludge volume is reduced through drying. The Bavarian municipality Freystadt [...]
