[...]Maximum retention of fibres and hair Operating reliability for membrane bioreactors Maximum COD / BOD 5 reduction rates Mechanical pretreatment is crucial for both municipal and industrial wastewater, as it efficiently removes coarse materials and separates floating, settling, and suspended solids, ensuring effective downstream treatment. Depending on the wastewater treatment method used, the mechanical pretreatment system must meet varying requirements for separation efficiency. For advanced systems such as Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) plants, the mechanical pretreatment must remove all coarse[...]

[...]Energy-efficient use of waste heat for drying sewage sludge The sludge is dried either with cold air (HPS ® ) or with hot air (BT) in a belt dryer. The dried product has a solid concentration ranging from 70% DS up to 95% DS. The HUBER Cold Air Dryer HPS ® is designed for small sewage treatment plants while the HUBER Belt Dryer BT is designed for medium to large treatment plants. The HUBER Belt Dryer BT is used for the belt drying process, which operates according to the convection drying principle. The dewatered sewage sludge is fed onto a drying belt with an extruder. Air, heated by heat [...]
[...]Efficient drying process for partial drying of sludge The HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® is used for the disc drying process. A disc dryer is a contact dryer that transfers heat to the medium to be dried via direct contact of the hot disc. HUBER is an expert in drying processes and designs the optimal drying plant based on the individual requirements to ensure an economically and ecologically optimal utilization of the sewage sludge. Disc Drying of Sludge The entire disc dryer process consists of the following main components and process steps: Intermediate storage and feeding To ensure continuous[...]
