[...]The aerated grit trap is a very important element in mechanical wastewater treatment. Its task is not only to reliably remove the grit from the wastewater flow but also to retain particulate lipophilic substances (grease) to prevent floatable particles from settling or overflowing in downstream treatment systems. Fine grit of a grain size ≥ 75 µm can usually not be separated by conventional aerated longitudinal grit traps as the rising air counteracts the continuous sedimentation of small particles. Very long, wide and voluminous structures are already required if you want to remove grit of a [...]
[...]Bad Orb, Hessen, Germany The further developed HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® was presented for the first time at IFAT 2016. The first units were installed soon and have meanwhile been in operation for more than a year. Now, it is time to review the operational experience gained on site against development targets. In April 2016, a new sludge dewatering system for STP Bad Orb was put out to tender to replace a chamber filter press. Extensive on-site testing was done before in 2015. During the tests, the screw presses turned out to be the most suitable dewatering solution. HUBER offered the newly [...]
[...]New pressure doors? Hasn't HUBER successfully manufactured a large number of pressure doors for a long time already? That's right – since the early eighties about 250 to 300 a year. What new features would make them better? The pressure doors (TT7) we have produced by now are laid out for a limited static load of up to 10 m water column. The feedback we get from the market, from suggestions, predictions or even concrete inquiries, we know that this pressure resistance will not be sufficient any more for many future building projects. A pressure resistance of up to 30 m water column could [...]
[...]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 [...]
[...]Berlin, Germany New base in the capital: HUBER SE is expanding the locations of its Global Service in Germany and is commissioning a new base in Berlin. The official opening of the base in the capital took place on 1 December 2021 and, in addition to the expansion of regional capacities, will primarily offer HUBER customers shorter distances and even faster response and reaction times for on-site enquiries in the future. Over 1,200 square metres of floor space: even more productivity and flexibility for HUBER Service In addition to office and social facilities, the more than 1,200 m² site area[...]
[...]We help you to get rid of fat and grease! Grease concentration in wastewater is usually measured by the content of lipophilic substances. A laborious extraction process is necessary to obtain this analytical value from a composite wastewater sample. Grease contained in wastewater is normally present as a dispersed (suspended) fraction. A small portion of the grease is contained as an emulsion, this can be explained by the use of solvents and rinsing liquors. Depending on the type of sewer (length, drop structures, number of pump stations, screens) it is differentiated between a coarse-particle[...]
