[...]Reliable compliance with effluent values In conventional municipal wastewater treatment plants, the final settling tank is the last stage of the wastewater treatment process. The purpose of the secondary clarifier is to allow the activated sludge flocs and the finest suspended solids to settle and to discharge the clarified wastewater into the receiving water as free of solids as possible. Increasing hydraulic loads and changes in the settling behavior of the activated sludge are the reason why wastewater treatment plants often do not reliably meet today's minimum requirements for solids retention[...]
[...]Process engineering solutions for the treatment of drinking water For the production of drinking water (especially when surface water is used), physical process steps are often necessary to remove solids of different types and sizes. HUBER has customized mechanical and process engineering solutions for the various applications: Specially developed screens for water abstraction remove all inadmissible coarse and solid matter from the raw water from rivers and seas. If required, suitable devices for fish protection can also be provided. Particularly in the case of machine technology for seawater [...]
[...]The first step of operationally reliable and efficient wastewater treatment The separation of solids in wastewater with screens and fine screening systems is the first step in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. The main task here is to remove all coarse and foreign materials that could inhibit or hinder the function of subsequent wastewater treatment stages. The following factors, among others, must be taken into account when planning an operationally reliable solids separation solution: Maximum required hydraulic throughput Expected screenings quantities Required bar spacing or [...]
[...]Mechanical Sludge Treatment Screening, thickening, and dewatering of sludge for impurities removal and volume reduction to reduce transport costs. Solutions for Mechanical Sludge Treatment Sewage Sludge Acceptance Efficient removal of solids and rags from imported municipal sludge prior to thickening or dewatering. Sludge Screening Sludge screening is used to remove coarse material, solids, and rags and increases the operational reliability of subsequent sludge treatment. Sludge Thickening With mechanical sludge thickening processes, the volume of conditioned thin sludge can be significantly [...]
[...]Heiligenblut, Austria The Heiligenblut wastewater treatment plant, which has a capacity of 8,250 PE, was built at the foot of the Großglockner, Austria's highest mountain, in 1986. It treats the wastewater of the entire municipality of Heiligenblut (at an altitude of 1,288 m), including Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, which is the highest point of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road (at an altitude of 2,369 m). The sewage treatment plant is located next to the Mölltal federal road in the village of Rojach, at an altitude of 1,098 meters. The challenge: limited installation space and high requirements The [...]
[...]Bielefeld, Germany Stadtwerke Bielefeld GmbH are a modern multi-utility company. With the city of Bielefeld (50.1%) and Bremer swb AG (49.9%) as partners, their priority is to meet customer and market requirements. With about 1,280 employees and a turnover of 700 million euros a year they are one of the big German municipal suppliers of energy, heat and drinking water. Stadtwerke Bielefeld supply the drinking water for about 320,000 residents and 1,500 industrial companies in the city of Bielefeld itself, plus for about 40,000 people living in the greater Bielefeld area. In 2010, drinking water[...]
[...]Eleven young people start their professional life at HUBER SE: the company welcomes ten apprentices and one dual student at the company headquarters in Berching. During an introductory event lasting several days, the young people get to know the company and the site and familiarise themselves with their new colleagues. Start of a new phase of life for eleven young people: HUBER welcomes ten apprentices and one dual student at the start of training in 2021. Six of the apprentices will start their careers in the industrial sector as precision mechanics, metal workers, mechatronics engineers[...]
[...]Like mechanical components, the control system components of your HUBER machine are subject to natural ageing and wear. These can have a negative effect on the function and operational safety of the plant and impair it. In the worst case, this can result in machine failure – with far-reaching consequences. In practice, in such a "worst case scenario", the machines are operated non-stop or safety devices are bypassed. This can lead to extreme wear or even mechanical damage to the machines and, in the worst case, to accidents and personal injury. Long machine downtimes and thus high costs are [...]
[...]Stemwede, Germany At the Stemwede wastewater treatment plant in North Rhine-Westphalia, a major infrastructure project has been successfully completed in recent months: The plant’s mechanical pre-treatment system has been completely renewed. This involved the removal of two ageing screens and the refurbishment of the concrete channel. Subsequently, two modern HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® units with 5 mm bar spacing and a high-performance HUBER Wash Press WAP were installed. In addition, a HUBER Coanda Grit Washer RoSF4 has been operating reliably at the plant since 2004. Complex construction[...]
