[...]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[...]
[...]Bickenbach and Uhldingen, Germany How can a fourth treatment stage be optimally integrated or retrofitted, taking into account all individual requirements and boundary conditions? This is a question that many municipalities, operators and wastewater associations will soon be asking themselves. In Bickenbach (Hesse) and Uhldingen (Baden-Württemberg), they are already one step ahead. Those responsible there have already taken action and assumed an important pioneering role with the start of large-scale implementation. Bickenbach STP Hesse’s first quaternary treatment stage In Bickenbach, the official[...]
[...]Regen, Germany The town Regen in the administrative district of Lower Bavaria, is also known as a climatic health resort and boasts numerous sights, buildings and natural monuments. Regular events include the annual Pichelsteiner Festival. Named after a traditional dish, it has grown to become the largest festival in the Bavarian Forest and a major attraction in the region. This makes it all the more important to have a fully functional 24-hour wastewater treatment plant, such as the Regen STP, in place for every event. Energy-efficient and powerful sludge dewatering The outdated and [...]
[...]Shanghai, China A total of twelve HUBER Fine Screens ROTAMAT® Ro1/2600 were supplied for the second construction phase of WWTP Zhuyu There is hardly another city worldwide that is growing with such a breath-taking speed as Shanghai, China’s boom town. But such rapid growth comes at a high price. Shanghai’s infrastructure can hardly cope. It happens time and again that the power stations can not supply enough electricity, or that even the 12 lane main highway is jammed to a stand-still. Of course, sewers and treatment plants are also under strain and the city administration is doing its best [...]
[...]Over 100 completed orders, a total of almost 300 machines in operation in 22 different countries and yet there are still applications where there is a need for a trial. "Trial makes perfect", be it on municipal wastewater treatment plants or for special industrial sludge, the spectrum is diverse. For this purpose, HUBER provides a trial unit of the Sludge Turner SOLSTICE ® , called "HUBER Baby SOLSTICE ® ", on a reduced scale. In the field for over 10 years The trial unit has now been in operation for over 10 years. After trials in Germany, the plant was mainly used in South America. Since [...]
[...]Sustainable processing and recycling of mineral waste Mineral-rich wastes such as street sweepings, sludge from sewer flushing and cleaning of stormwater tanks and gullies, and grit trap material contain not only grit and gravel but also trash (e.g. packaging material), coarse materials (e.g. stones, wood, glass, metal parts), and organic materials (e.g. soil, leaves, grass, fruit stones and cereal grains). For the processing and treatment of such mineral wastes HUBER offers individually designed grit treatment processes. Process Process technology according to requirements Depending on the required[...]
[...]Grit washing for Reduction of the Organic Matter Contained in Grit Grit and mineral substances from the grit chambers of municipal wastewater treatment plants usually contain a large to very large proportion of organic substances, which have settled in the grit chamber together with the grit. Grit washing has become an established process for the treatment of grit from grit chambers over the last decades. HUBER Grit Washing Plants have been in operation worldwide for more than 25 years and have set the standard for modern and efficient processing of grit from wastewater treatment plants to [...]
[...]From the screen to the screenings wash press – reliable and operationally safe solutions for conveying screenings HUBER offers two different solutions for providing tailor-made and project-specific conveying systems for wet and untreated screenings: Screenings transport by launder channel The screenings to be treated are discharged from one or more screens into the launder channel. Sufficient wastewater or process water is used to flush the screenings into the screenings wash press. The flushing water also serves as wash water for screenings washing. HUBER Launder Channels HLC can be [...]
[...]Transport of Sludge Reliable transport of dewatered and dried sludge In municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, but also in industrial processes, sludge is produced which is usually fed to one or more further treatment stages such as thickening, dewatering, drying, and incineration. Depending on the consistency of the sludge, which is mainly defined by the water content, different conveying technologies (pumps, screw conveyors, belt conveyors, ...) can be used. In municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, but also in industrial processes, sludge is produced which is usually fed to [...]
