[...]Guangzhou, China The 16th Asia Olympics will take place at Guangzhou (Guangdong province), China, from 12 to 27 November. They are the biggest sport event in Asia and held every four years. All Asians, in a fever of excitement, are waiting for the Games to begin, so the venues will certainly be well attended. For such a major sporting event as the Asia Olympics the local infrastructure needs to be modernized and expanded. This includes also wastewater disposal and treatment plants, the capacity of which needs to be extended and their technical standard improved to state-of-the-art. HUBER SE [...]

[...]Sharjah, UAE Population growth in Dubai and adjacent Sharjah is a consequence of rapid development. Population growth, enforced growing wealth and luxury, generate great strain on the infrastructure of these cities. All existing wastewater treatment plants are heavily overloaded. Several treatment plants are presently in the process of becoming extended and upgraded, but even when the construction and installation will be finished, the plants will hardly be able to treat the enormous and ever growing wastewater flows. Because of freshwater scarcity in this arid region, treated wastewater is viewed[...]

[...]Applications and Benefits A tailored solution to suit any application: Industrial and municipal applications Primary and secondary treatment stage Protection of membrane plants Replacement for primary settlement tank Load reduction in the biological treatment system through reduction of COD / AFS Screening in the inlet to power plants Treatment of cooling water circuits Brewery wastewater River and sea outfall Surface and river water screening The benefits are obvious Economical channel/machine sizing Low life-cycle costs Easy maintenance and operation Automatic, rotating high pressure system [...]

[...]Vienna, Austria Project Scope The project comprises in detail: In the screening building: Replacement of the existing screens by HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® units: - Channel width: 3.0 m - Channel depth: 3.1 m - Maximum flow rate: 3.7 m³/s - Bar spacing: 8 mm The HUBER screens will be installed at an angle of 60° as this improves hydraulics, enlarges the screen surface area and reduces the flow velocity between the screen bars. The existing screenings wash presses will be replaced by HUBER Wash Press WAP® HD 8 units and the HUBER wash presses integrated into the existing screenings [...]

[...]Schallstadt, Germany The energy turnaround has already been under discussion for several years. The events on the energy market in 2022 at the latest have now made it very clear to the public that there is a very great need for reorientation on the “heat market”. The discussions about the right fuel are in full swing. HUBER SE has a solution that does not require any fuel at all: it is based on exploiting the energetic potential of wastewater using the HUBER ThermWin system. Energy from wastewater replaces renewable and fossil fuels In Schallstadt in Baden-Württemberg (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald[...]

[...]Screw presses have been proving their worth for many years at wastewater treatment plants with population equivalents ≤ 100,000 mainly because the simple operating principle offers advantages compared to other continuously operating dewatering units such as decanter centrifuges: The use of the sludge feed pressure (0 – 300 mbar) as a control variable enables automatic adjustment of the machine and flocculant settings to fluctuations in the sludge consistency. Time-consuming readjustments by the operator are thus reduced to a minimum, and the dewatering system can typically be operated unattended[...]

[...]Isle La Plume, WI, USA In 2021, HUBER Technology Inc., the Denver, North Carolina-based subsidiary of HUBER SE, was awarded the contract for the modernisation of the La Crosse wastewater treatment plant located on Isle La Plume. The city of La Crosse, with a population of around 52,000, is located in the state of Wisconsin, which is situated in the Midwest of the USA. Total investment volume of around 60 million US dollars The scope of supply includes a HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® CF in the screen building in the inlet to the WWTP, a HUBER Belt Dryer BT 18 for sewage sludge drying, and a [...]

[...]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 [...]

[...]Reliable conveying technology for grit and mineral solids Grit is separated by sedimentation in grit chambers during wastewater treatment. The grit settling at the bottom of the grit chamber is then removed – usually discontinuously – from the grit chamber. Grit Feeding and Conveying HUBER offers different designs of grit traps for grit separation. All HUBER grit traps are equipped with an appropriate conveyor so that the separated grit can be discharged into a container or passed to further treatment in a grit washing plant . Depending on the grit chamber design, either grit discharge pumps or [...]

[...]Protecting technical facilities against flooding Both our rivers and watercourses and the technical drainage systems (sewers) can only absorb limited amounts of precipitation. Depending on the degree of sealing and other local conditions, flooding can then occur above a certain precipitation intensity. As climate change is causing more heavy rainfall, the probability of flooding is likely to increase in the future. A variety of flood prevention measures The best protection against flooding is to prevent situations of extreme flooding from occurring in the first place. Any measures that allow [...]
