[...]At the end of 2016, one of our most important industrial customers kindly agreed to give us his view of the HUBER service quality in a personal interview from the perspective of a customer, providing critical analysis and evaluation. GELITA is one of the leading suppliers of gelatine, collagen and collagen peptides worldwide. These natural, pure and anallergenic clean-label ingredients play an important role when it comes to healthy food, a healthy life style and technical innovations. GELITA AG relies on natural solutions, scientific research and creativity. They live the motto of innovation[...]

[...]HUBER expands range of service and maintenance contracts In order to meet the constantly growing demands, we have developed a further, powerful service package for our customers in addition to our well-established and successful HUBER service and maintenance contract models: the HUBER Full Service contract . With this new HUBER service system, we can guarantee our customers the highest level of operational reliability, full cost and planning security as well as conservation of value of the machines and plants. In order to optimally prevent damage and downtime of machines and thus increase [...]

[...]United Utilities, Warrington, England Background In 2017, United Utilities started work on a four-year improvement project at Blackburn and Darwen WwTW. This work included: Extending the current works at Blackburn WwTW to construct new tanks, buildings and improve the treatment process. Taking existing wastewater flows from Darwen WwTW through to Blackburn WwTW by installing a new connecting pipe and upgrading the existing tanks. Constructing new storm tanks and new pipeline to transfer wastewater to Blackburn WwTW from Nabs Head WwTW. Blackburn WwTW treats principally domestic crude sewage from[...]

[...]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 [...]

[...]The efficient flocculant mixer achieves a significant reduction of operating costs Conditioning of the sludge to be processed with polymeric flocculants is a precondition for the mechanical dewatering of sewage sludge. The focus is typically on the optimal flocculant dose as this is the factor that influences directly the dewatering results and flocculant consumption, and thus the largest portion of the operation costs. Turning the attention to sludge conditioning as the determining process step for dewatering, it becomes apparent however that also the mixing intensity and flocculant solution [...]

[...]Innsbruck, Austria Innsbrucker Kommunalbetriebe AG (IKB) invest into a HUBER Belt Dryer BT 16. With its strategy “ from sewage works to power plant ”, IKB’s wastewater treatment plant Innsbruck sustainably produces energy and intelligently integrates it into its existing system. The aim is to further increase the efficiency of the complete sewage treatment works and make it one of the most modern plants in Europe. With its about 130,000 inhabitants, Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, is the fifth largest city of Austria and produces 50,000 m³ wastewater a day (peak: 145,000 m³) together with its 14 [...]

[...]Freystadt, Germany HUBER sludge treatment solution on STP Freystadt – a concept that pays off for the operators The newly installed process chain replaces the previous system with contract dewatering and its associated problems. STP Freystadt is designed for approximately 8,000 PE. The sludge on site was previously dewatered only once a year. After the implementation of the new HUBER systems, comprising a HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS® and a HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE®, the plant operators can look forward to a smoother and easier plant operation, and the disposal costs incurred by the [...]

[...]Novelty – HUBER Sludgecleaner STRAINPRESS® 420 With nearly 1000 produced machines, the HUBER Sludgecleaner STRAINPRESS® 290 is one of the most proven HUBER products. To complement or as an alternative to fine screens installed in channels, the STRAINPRESS® permits the separation of solids even from closed pipeline systems. In contrast to conventional screening systems, the STRAINPRESS® not only separates solid material, it also dewaters the material before discharging it. Typical screen perforations used for screening primary sludge are 3 mm or 5 mm, with the screenings being dewatered to dry[...]
