[...]Simple process for the removal of trace substances (fourth treatment stage) No shutdowns necessary for cleaning Reuse of the activated carbon Especially municipal sewage plant effluents are among the most critical paths of entry for micropollutants into surface waters. Many of these so-called trace substances are hazardous to the environment and health, are not readily biodegradable and can accumulate in the environment. With the HUBER Active Carbon Filter CONTIFLOW® GAK, HUBER has developed a versatile and reliable key component for the removal of trace substances (fourth treatment stage), which,[...]
[...]On July 25, the first HUBER Cycle Day, no fewer than 85 of our staff came to work on their bicycles. HUBER set up the Cycle Day to point its employees to a good but often forgotten alternative to driving by car. "Our employees drive 16,000 kilometres by car a day to come to work and back home, riding by bike is a possibility to do something for one's health and for the environment", explained Dr. Johann Grienberger. He himself pedalled the 22 kilometres way from home to Erasbach. The company invests 50 Cent per cycled kilometre, i.e. a total of € 992, into the further forestation of the HUBER-Natur-Park[...]
[...]Clean water for the Sinai Peninsula: The water treatment plant in Bahr El-Baqar (Egypt) has recently been awarded by Guinness World Records as the world’s largest plant of its kind. Every year, more than two billion cubic metres of water are to be treated here on an area of about 650,000 square metres. The Berching-based company HUBER is supplying, among other equipment, 128 SOLSTICE® sludge turners for the large-scale project, from which about half a million people will benefit in the future. HUBER delivers 128 HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE® units Capacity: over 2,000,000,000 m³ of water per year[...]

[...]Complete Plants are complete systems for the mechanical treatment of small to medium amounts of wastewater from 10 to 300 l/s. Basically, a Complete Plant consists of two main components: screen and grit trap. As an option, other systems can be added, such as screenings treatment units, aeration systems or a grease trap. Since 2000, mechanical state-of-the-art wastewater treatment has additionally comprised a grit washing plant so that the screen, grit trap and grit washer are usually mentioned in the same breath. In case of conventional installations with ‘independent’ units the optimal [...]
[...]Minimize wear and increase operating reliability For the operating safety and reliability of wastewater treatment plants, it is necessary to separate the grit transported with the wastewater and other mineral materials from the putrescible organic matter. For this purpose, grit chambers of various designs are used in practice. Depending on the type of grit trap, grease can also be separated in addition to grit. The removal of grit from the wastewater serves to prevent operational troubles, such as grit sedimentation (in aeration tanks and digesters), increased wear (of pumps, stirrers) and [...]
[...]HUBER Grit Washing Plants and System Components Separation of organics from the mineral particles Grit Washing Plants Wash Drum Grit from grit traps in wastewater treatment plants, as well as grit from sewer and road cleaning, is heavily contaminated with organic matter and debris. The high organic content, with volatile solids ranging from 10% to 80%, is the primary reason these grit slurries do not dewater efficiently. As a result, the solids concentration remains inconsistent and challenging to manage. The common performance criteria for the quality of grit removal are: The capture rate of [...]

[...]Grit Traps and Classifiers The best solution for any grit separation application Grit Trap and Classifier Product Groups Longitudinal Grit Trap Lamella Grit Trap Circular Grit Traps Complete Plants Grit Classifier For reasons of operating reliability of wastewater treatment plants it is necessary to separate grit, gravel and other mineral materials transported with the wastewater (an average of 16 gal. to 264K gal ( 60 l to 1000 m³) of wastewater according to DWA Work Sheet M369) from the digestible organic material. Good grit separation prevents operational problems, such as grit sedimentation[...]
[...]Emschermündung, Germany The hydraulic capacity of the wastewater treatment plant Emschermündung is 30 m³/s. This is a gigantic flow, larger than of any other German, perhaps even European, wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater arrives at the plant not via conventional sewers, but its inflow is the river Emscher. The treated effluent of the plant enters the river Rhine. This is the reason why the plant’s name is Emschermündung, meaning “mouth of the Emscher”. The river Emscher flows through the northern part of the old industrial heartland of Germany, the Ruhr region. The Emscher river is [...]
