[...]Efficient and reliable removal of coarse material from sludge For the operational safety of sludge treatment processes, it is advantageous if the sludge is as free as possible of coarse material and disturbing solids (e.g. paper, plastics, fibres and hair). Otherwise, repeated malfunctions of aggregates and processes may occur in pumps, but also during thickening, dewatering or drying, and these can be time-consuming and costly to rectify and require increased manpower. For the agricultural recycling practised in many regions of the world, it also makes sense to separate all solids such as [...]

[...]HUBER masters growing challenges in wastewater treatment with digital solutions: HUBER Cloud Solutions HCS Counteracting rising operating costs and quality requirements through digital solutions Identify and exploit optimization potentials through data evaluation HUBER Cloud Solutions HCS as a basis for future additional services The challenges in wastewater treatment are constantly growing and the adequate treatment of wastewater and sludge at wastewater treatment plants is becoming increasingly difficult. The reasons for this are the increasing demands on the treated wastewater and sludge combined[...]

[...]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 [...]

[...]Treat and reuse process water and waste water Water reuse makes it possible to use water in cycles. This reduces both the consumption of fresh water and the amount of wastewater produced. Water recycling and reuse in industry in the context of "ZLD - Zero Liquid Discharge" plays an important role with regard to the economical use of water as a resource. The importance of irrigating agricultural land with treated municipal wastewater is also widespread in many countries, especially those with less rainfall, and will continue to increase due to climate change and the need for a sustainable "circular[...]

[...]Sustainable Use of our Waters Municipal wastewater contains between 5 and 15 mg/l phosphorus. If phosphorus is not adequately removed during wastewater treatment, it ends up in the receiving waters. In lakes and rivers, phosphorus acts as a nutrient that generally promotes and accelerates plant growth, especially algae growth, which has a negative impact on water quality and thus on the biotic communities in the water body. Reducing phosphorus inputs from municipal wastewater treatment plants is therefore a very important contribution to maintaining or achieving a good ecological status in [...]

[...]Adsorption with granulated activated carbon (GAC, German GAK) is a simple, reliable and, above all, low-maintenance process. This makes it ideal as a fourth treatment stage, especially for smaller wastewater treatment plants. The core component of the process is the HUBER Active Carbon Filter CONTIFLOW® GAK , which is filled with granulated activated carbon and acts as an adsorber for the micropollutants. The particle size of granulated activated carbon (GAC) is usually between 0.5 mm to 4 mm. GAC Granulated Activated Carbon The HUBER Active Carbon Filter CONTIFLOW® GAK is installed [...]

[...]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 containing coarser solids such as gravel, sand and litter, as well as significant amounts of finer solids such as abrasion from car tyres (microplastics). Road wastewater occurs whenever it rains, and its quantity depends on the amount of rainfall. Technology for Road Wastewater Treatment Plants Intermediate [...]

[...]The best access for your structure Accesses to structures for drinking water supply or wastewater disposal have high requirements. For drinking water supply structures, for example, a burglar-resistant door must be installed in accordance with DIN EN 1627. In the drinking water tank itself, access to the water chamber is required for maintenance. Pressure-tight doors are used for this purpose. To allow access above the water level, special water chamber doors must be used. In the field of drinking water supply and wastewater disposal, there are many shaft structures that require an access or [...]

[...]Future-oriented and sustainable solution for heating and cooling of buildings The HUBER ThermWin process allows heating and cooling of buildings by using the wastewater in the sewer system as a regenerative energy source. Right below the ground, in sewers, is a hidden and seldom used source of energy: our wastewater. Its temperature is usually between 12° and 20° C and hardly drops below 10° C even in winter, making wastewater an ideal energy source for operating a heat pump. All larger buildings and local heating networks are suitable consumers of the heating energy obtained in this way. The Process[...]

[...]Heating with the Sewage Treatment Plant Effluent Treated wastewater as a regenerative energy source with high energy potential The effluent of a sewage treatment plant represents a great potential for heat recovery and can make an important contribution especially to energy-efficient retrofitting of sewage treatment plants. All the wastewater that has been fed to the treatment plant via the sewage system is discharged into the receiving watercourse via a central outlet after treatment, so that large quantities of water are always available here. In addition, due to biological processes taking [...]
