[...]Winterthur, Switzerland With each of the following projects our customers substantially contribute to achieving CO 2 reduction goals. Utilisation of heat from wastewater for the Wintower high-rise building at Winterthur 22.000 m² is about the size of three football fields but is also the floor space of the 28 storeys of the Wintower in Winterthur, Switzerland. It is a real heating technology challenge to cool such a building in summer (= additional benefit) and heat it in cold winter months. About 600 kW heating energy is needed in winter. The HUBER ThermWin® system was installed and [...]

[...]Magdeburg, Germany The sewage treatment works Magdeburg/Gerwisch was officially commissioned in 1999 after a construction period of two and a half years. It is designed for 426,000 PE and operates with 90 percentage utilisation. An annual average of 17 million cubic metres of wastewater and stormwater is treated on this sewage treatment plant. All coarse waste material is retained in the three-line and two-line screening plant. When the sewage treatment works was planned 15 years ago for the installation of three fine screens, additional space was already planned for the later installation of [...]

[...]Malta The Ta' Barkat sewage treatment works, often referred to as the Malta South STW, is at the heart of Malta’s wastewater management system. It is situated near Xgħajra on Malta’s south-east coast and officially came into operation in 2011. It is the country’s largest sewage treatment works and treats around 60,000 m³ of wastewater every day. This corresponds to around 80 per cent of the island’s total wastewater volume. The plant uses a modern biofiltration process that alternates between aerobic and anoxic environments to efficiently treat the wastewater. Its commissioning has significantly[...]

[...]Munich, Germany On 18th October, Bavarian Economics Minister Zeil handed over the Bavarian Energy Awards 2012. HUBER SE received an award as first place winner in the category Energy Concepts and Initiatives for the innovativ and responsible use of energy. Bavarian Economics Minister Martin Zeil described the prize winning projects as ‘outstanding developments for an innovation-oriented energy turnaround’. The CO 2 -saving project ‘Thermal heat from sewers‘, which HUBER SE implemented in cooperation with the city of Straubing and GFM Ingenieure GmbH, supplies approximately 65% of the heat [...]

[...]Ceremonial award of the prizes endowed with EUR 10,000 in the Berching town hall by Bavarian Environment Minister Dr. Marcel Huber. The mechanical, chemical and thermal energy in wastewater can contribute a substantial share to the use of renewable energy. Moreover, even the "waste" produced on sewage treatment plants is increasingly used as basis material for the production of valuable substances. This issue therefore was made the subject of this year’s international Huber Technology Prize 2014: Resources and Energy from Wastewater. A lot of students from Germany and abroad submitted their ideas, [...]

[...]Germany HUBER offers more than just machines; we provide tailor-made solutions for complex challenges. Our pre-sales services support industrial customers throughout the entire process, from initial contact to final implementation, with a particular focus on flotation, sludge dewatering and screening. The focus is on individual adaptations that meet each customer's specific requirements. Early insights through in-depth laboratory analyses In our laboratory and during on-site analyses and tests, we examine processes such as flotation, sludge dewatering and screening to check the feasibility [...]

[...]The new HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® completes the HUBER product portfolio for sewage sludge drying with contact drying. In combination with a sewage sludge mono-incineration plant, the disc dryer dries the sewage sludge to the ideal TR content and is thus optimally suited for utilisation in fluidized bed incineration plants. The HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® is designed for homogeneous partial drying of dewatered sewage sludge. It can dry exactly to the required TR content, thus enabling self-sustaining incineration in the fluidized bed incinerator. The HUBER RotaDry® is available in different sizes[...]

[...]HUBER extends its product portfolio by a contact dryer for sewage sludge HUBER SE has expanded its range of sewage sludge dryers by adding a disc dryer to its future product portfolio. This dryer is based on the principle of contact drying and convinces by its compact design compared to other drying systems. Especially in combination with fluidized bed incineration systems, the HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® is the ideal addition to the overall process of a sewage sludge incineration plant. The strength of the disc dryer lies in the efficient, homogeneous and compact partial drying of sewage sludge[...]

[...]Floods are a growing and serious threat. With rising sea levels and increasing weather extremes, the frequency and intensity of flooding is increasing worldwide. These natural disasters not only endanger human lives, but also cause considerable damage to infrastructure, property and the environment. Given this reality, it is crucial to take flood prevention measures and implement solutions such as flood-proof doors to minimise the risk and impact of flooding. HUBER Flood-Proof Exterior Door TT6 HUBER has focussed its attention on the development of flood resistant doors and already has a product[...]

[...]The combined sewer tunnel in Lisbon is a state-of-the-art infrastructure project that protects the city from flooding caused by heavy rainfall and drains urban wastewater during dry weather periods. In the past, extreme rainfall of up to 60 mm per hour repeatedly caused considerable damage in lower-lying districts of the city. The Túnel Monsanto-Santa Apolónia, the so-called ‘mega tunnel’, is the city administration's largest construction project to date and a central component of the urban climate adaptation strategy. With a length of exactly 4,975 metres and an internal diameter of 5.5 metres[...]
