[...]Quarzbichl, Germany Quarzbichl, a material extraction and marketing company, provides municipal waste management services for the districts of Bad Tölz and Wolfratshausen. It also processes compost into high-quality soil on site. The surface wastewater produced is collected in an intermediate storage tank and treated for direct discharge into the Loisach River. The HUBER Dissolved Air Flotation Plant HDF process was chosen because the wastewater is almost exclusively contaminated with particles, the process effectively separates suspended solids from clear water without blockages, and the resulting[...]

[...]Barueri, Brazil A comprehensive two-week intensive training course was held at the HUBER Service Academy in preparation for the major Barueri project in Brazil, one of the largest wastewater treatment plant projects in South America. Delivery of the machinery for this project has already begun, comprising a total of 85 units for mechanical wastewater pre-treatment and grit treatment. This includes four different types of screens, for this project and a sister project, namely the HUBER Course Screen TrashMax®, the HUBER Grab Screen TrashLift, the HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax®, and the [...]

[...]South Padre Island, TX, USA In the southernmost part of Texas, not far from the Mexican border and directly on the Gulf of Mexico, lies the headland of South Padre Island. This place is made for holidays, with sun, sand and sea. From February to October, streams of tourists roll there on the fine sandy beach and enjoy the waves and the warmth, which is about 40°C during the day. As there is also a high humidity of over 90%, the best place to spend the day is in the sea or at the pool. The exposed location of South Padre Island has of course also its disadvantage. Many people take a shower several [...]
[...]Treatment of polluted stormwater to protect water and soil Road wastewater treatment plants are used for heavily frequented roads. The task of such a plant is to filter rainwater that runs off roads before it is discharged into a body of water or into the ground. Road run-off is stormwater contains coarser solids such as gravel, sand and litter, as well as significant amounts of finer solids such as abrasion from car tires (microplastics). Road wastewater occurs whenever it rains, and its quantity depends on the amount of rainfall. Technology for Road Wastewater Treatment Plants Intermediate [...]
[...]Luzern, Switzerland Due to the increasing building density, cities are generally faced with the problem of lesser and lesser infiltration of rainwater water during storm events and the associated increasing risk of overflowing local sewers. Moreover, road runoff water contains not only grit and gravel but also considerable amounts of eco-toxicologically relevant substances from tyre wear and tar residues, for example heavy metals, such as cadmium, zinc and lead, as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAH] and petroleum-derived hydrocarbons [PDH]. During rainfalls, the abrasion particles[...]
[...]Wastewater and sludge treatment for the production and processing of textiles and leather Save disposal costs Clean wastewater Minimise residues Separate solids Reduce operating costs Recover wastewater heat Save primary energy Wastewater and sludge treatment in textile and leather production is essential for managing the high levels of solids (particularly fibers and hair), color, and organic loads (BOD and COD) present in their effluents. These pollutants not only lead to substantial disposal and pollution charges but also pose environmental challenges if not adequately treated. It is therefore[...]
