[...]Bickenbach, Germany Advanced Wastewater Treatment: HUBER Active Carbon Filter CONTIFLOW® GAK and HUBER Disc Filter RotaFilt® Convince The Bickenbach Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) will be the first WWTP in Hesse (Germany) to receive advanced wastewater treatment for the removal of trace substances. At the end of 2022, the wastewater treatment plant of size class 4 (35,000 population equivalents) will be extended by an ozonation system with a downstream four-line activated carbon filter stage and an upstream two-line cloth filtration as pretreatment. Among others, HUBER will supply two HUBER[...]
[...]Berching, Germany The ships of the Endeavor series are the worldwide biggest mega yachts with ice class PC6. They allow expeditions to paradisiacal islands that would be impossible with conventional cruise ships. Main travel destinations are the Arctic, Antarctic and the Caribbean. The ship ‘Crystal Endeavor’ will for the first time set sail in 2020 and take its maximum 200 passengers in 100 exclusive suites to the most remote corners of the world. Two HUBER Membrane Screen ROTAMAT ® RoMem 780 units with 0,5 mm mesh size will be installed on the ship to clean the wastewater from the cabins[...]
[...]Hannover-Lahe, Germany The Hannover-Lahe project of HUBER and sludge2energy GmbH is progressing further: The two HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® 2050 M units are just before their hot commissioning. Using a heavy-duty crane, the two disc dryers, each weighing around 63 tonnes, were unloaded from the heavy-duty transporters on site in November 2021 and lifted directly into the building onto the prepared level. They will be used in the Hannover-Lahe sewage sludge mono-incineration plant (KVA) as pre-dryers for processing the sewage sludge into fuel. Shortly afterwards, the fluidised bed furnace and [...]
[...]No other type of machines manufactured by HUBER SE are applied as universally as the HUBER conveyors. Whether in wastewater screening or grit/sludge treatment, HUBER conveyors ensure the reliable transport of material to downstream systems and are therefore indispensable for problem-free plant operation. HUBER SE offers three different types of machine for the conveyance of materials: Type of machine Processable medium HUBER Screw Conveyor Ro8 T, trough conveyor - Untreated or compacted screenings - Grit - Sludge (dewatered or dry) HUBER Screw Conveyor Ro8, closed pipe conveyor - Untreated[...]
[...]Newark, UK A HUBER Technology Wastewater Case Study HUBER Technology recently completed a project at Crankley Point STW located in Newark. The scheme was part of a £60 million investment by Severn Trent Water in Newarks waste and water systems to prevent flooding at around 400 homes in Newark. Part of this work involved the construction combined sewer tunnel 2.8m in diameter with a new terminal pumping station built at Crankley Point STW. Project Profile HUBER Technology were first approached to look at the outline design of the project in 2012 directly by Severn Trent Water and as the project [...]
[...]During dry weather, organic and inorganic sediments increasingly settle on the sewer base in combined sewer systems due to slow flow velocities. Under stormwater conditions, these sediments float up and arrive along with the sewer flow at the sewage treatment plant or stormwater overflow structure. If the combined sewer volume exceeds the capacity of the overflow structure or sewage treatment plant, the combined water is frequently discharged to a receiving water course, impairing water quality with the result of increased costs for maintenance and cleaning. As a preventive measure, coarse material[...]
[...]Kappern, Austria In Kappern near Marchtrenk, a town between Wels and Linz, lies Austria’s second biggest sewage treatment plant which is designed for 160,000 PE. The main collector A has to cope with a high combined rainwater and sanitary sewer flow. Due to the given specific conditions the stormwater overflow tank Kappern offered an interesting opportunity to combine the two HUBER storm screen types, ROTAMAT® Storm Screen RoK1 and ROTAMAT® Storm Screen RoK2. Due to the screens’ high flexibility and capacity only minor structural adaptation work was necessary to optimally realize this project[...]
[...]Septic sludge of around 70,000 inhabitants is collected in the surrounding area of the city of Lahti. Twelve different companies haul septic sludge. To prevent that they dump septic sludge into sewers or on wasteland, the city was looking for a place and method of treatment. The city selected a HUBER system for septic sludge receiving and pre-treatment at their existing central wastewater treatment plant. A card reader and flow meter permit data collection and billing. The incoming septic sludge is screened and the screenings, together with those from their existing wastewater screens, are [...]
[...]Berching, Germany HUBER Chemicals Dosing DIGIT-DOSE setting new standards for the efficient operation of flotation plants Industrial wastewater treatment cannot be imagined anymore without flotation technology. Flotation ensures that suspended matter, grease and particulate pollutants are effectively removed from production wastewater. If also dissolved pollutants need to be converted to particulate matter, precipitants and flocculants are added. Such additives can enormously increase cleaning efficiency, they are however also the major cost factor in the operating costs for a wastewater treatment[...]
[...]Berching, Germany Not only for critical wastewater but also as an alternative to overloaded aeration tanks and secondary settling tanks of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants Secondary settling tanks have to manage the important task of separating activated sludge. With diameters of sometimes more than 50 metres, most of them are horizontal flow systems. The sludge can settle inside while the virtually solids-free clear water runs off through a channel. The control and monitoring of such separation stages is still done visually in most cases through cyclic visibility depth [...]
