[...]At the IFAT 2005 in Munich the unrivalled market leader in the field of grit washing plants presents itself as a real champion: The 1,000 COANDA Grit Washing units sold impressively demonstrate that this plant is being accepted as the standard solution in mechanical wastewater treatment. When the first pilot plants were built in 1994, many considered it unnecessary to additionally wash the grit produced by a sewage treatment plant. The industry took a stance against this technology regarding it as technically infeasible. When attending site a sense of amusement by the plant operators was [...]

[...]Winterthur, Switzerland The city of Winterthur situated in the Swiss Canton Zurich is certainly not known as much as Bern, Zurich or Geneva but it is Switzerland’s sixth largest city with a very special landmark. The Wintower, erected 1966 by the Swiss company Sulzer AG, was nearly 40 years long the highest high-rise building in Switzerland. When the whole building was renovated recently, this included also the heating and cooling system. The HUBER ThermWin system was selected for wastewater heat utilisation. The Wintower has about 22,000 m² office space distributed on 28 storeys. Due to the complete[...]

[...]Berching, Germany Environmental disasters, such as the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the global economic crisis and ever decreasing resources remind us that we urgently need a safe, eco-friendly and financially attractive energy source. Right below the ground, in sewers, is an unnoticed hidden source of energy that fulfils all these criteria: municipal wastewater. The HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin has been developed especially for this application. Heat pumps use environmental energy sources, normally groundwater or air. But both elements have the disadvantage that their energy level [...]

[...]Winterthur, Switzerland With each of the following projects our customers substantially contribute to achieving CO 2 reduction goals. Utilisation of heat from wastewater for the Wintower high-rise building at Winterthur 22.000 m² is about the size of three football fields but is also the floor space of the 28 storeys of the Wintower in Winterthur, Switzerland. It is a real heating technology challenge to cool such a building in summer (= additional benefit) and heat it in cold winter months. About 600 kW heating energy is needed in winter. The HUBER ThermWin® system was installed and [...]

[...]Witzenhausen, Germany A sewage treatment plant in Witzenhausen, a retirement home in Switzerland, and an office building in France – What do they have in common? The answer is: They all use eco-friendly, regenerative energy from wastewater during the next heating period. This demonstrates the wide range of applications the HUBER RoWin Heat Exchanger offers. In the shadow of the large order HUBER received from the Ministry of the Interior in Stuttgart it have been the smaller orders which show the wide field of application of the HUBER ThermWin® System. On WWTP Witzenhausen for example the energy[...]

[...]Munich, Germany On 18th October, Bavarian Economics Minister Zeil handed over the Bavarian Energy Awards 2012. HUBER SE received an award as first place winner in the category Energy Concepts and Initiatives for the innovativ and responsible use of energy. Bavarian Economics Minister Martin Zeil described the prize winning projects as ‘outstanding developments for an innovation-oriented energy turnaround’. The CO 2 -saving project ‘Thermal heat from sewers‘, which HUBER SE implemented in cooperation with the city of Straubing and GFM Ingenieure GmbH, supplies approximately 65% of the heat [...]

[...]Regensburg, Germany In the city of Regensburg in the Upper Palatinate, an administrative district in the Northeast of Bavaria, the new museum of Bavarian history is currently under construction. The worldwide successful environmental company HUBER SE based in Berching is involved in this building project as the supplier of a sustainable, innovative system solution which makes it possible to heat and cool the museum building with energy from wastewater. It is a prestigious project which is of special importance for HUBER, not only due to its proximity to the company's headquarters. Bavaria and[...]

[...]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 [...]

[...]Penrith, UK Originally, the two existing perforated plate (escalator-type) screens at the Penrith wastewater treatment plant discharged their screenings into a launder trough wherefrom they were flushed to a tank incorporating macerator pumps. These pumps grinded the solids and returned them back to the works. Besides the fact that the entire system did only comminute the screenings, but did not remove any solids, the system did not operate reliably. The main problems encountered by the operators were that the macerator pumps required constant maintenance and that, under certain circumstances, the [...]
