[...]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 Energy-efficient and powerful sludge dewatering The outdated and [...]

[...]Rednitzhembach, Germany HUBER was awarded the contract in early 2024 to supply and install a HUBER Rotary Drum Fine Screen ROTAMAT® Ro2 with a downstream HUBER Wash Press WAP® for renewing the STW’s screening system. These have now been in operation since the end of August 2024. Technical challenge and solution in the screen channel A particular challenge in this project was that the screen channel had to be widened from 600 mm to 1000 mm in the area of the screen basket. In order to minimise conversion time, which included demolishing the old channel and continuing to operate the sewage treatment[...]

[...]Parsberg, Germany The town of Parsberg lies in the heart of the Bavarian Jura between Nuremberg and Regensburg. It is particularly popular with tourists as a local recreation area and thanks to its perfect connection to the Five Rivers Cycle Route. The Parsberg sewage treatment plant is located in the valley alongside the Schwarze Laber river. It has a mechanical, biological and chemical treatment stage and is designed for up to 13,300 PE. A two-storey building was specifically constructed on the hilly terrain for local sludge dewatering, which was a conscious decision by the town of Parsberg.[...]

[...]Weißenberge, Germany Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource, even in Germany. As climate change progresses, conflicts over water resources will continue to escalate, particularly in water-intensive agriculture. As part of the ‘HypoWave+’ project, a resource-efficient hydroponic system for water reuse in regional vegetable production was installed and scientifically monitored for the first time in Germany in 2024. Wastewater as a valuable resource for irrigation ’The special feature of the HypoWave system is that we obtain high-quality treated irrigation water from municipal [...]

[...]Houston, TX USA In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas Gulf Coast and struck it hard. The devastating category 4 hurricane caused unprecedented flooding. In addition to more than $125 billion in property damage, the storm completely destroyed hundreds of thousands of homes. Within just four days, more than one metre of rain per square metre fell in many areas in the Houston region, making Harvey the rainiest storm ever recorded in the United States. Since Hurricane Harvey, the Houston region has repeatedly experienced severe storms, which is why the National Weather Service (NWS) has [...]

[...]Detmold, Germany The Detmold wastewater treatment plant has replaced its old step screen with a modern HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® J. The decision was made in favour of HUBER SE, who realised the entire project from start to finish – from preparing the drawings to installing and successfully commissioning the new screen system. The new HUBER RakeMax® J impresses with its high efficiency and reliability in coarse and fine screening of wastewater. Thanks to its robust design and innovative technology, it contributes significantly to improving screening efficiency and ensures the wastewater[...]

[...]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.

[...]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 [...]

[...]Spain Spain and the wider Mediterranean region experience intense rainfall repeatedly within very short time periods. This has increased over the last decade. During such events, when several hundred millimetres of rain fall in a short space of time, the ground can no longer absorb the water. This is particularly the case when the heavy rainfall follows a long period of hot weather with no precipitation. Even the smallest streams can quickly turn into frightening rivers that sweep everything away, causing great damage to people and the environment. Recent events in the greater Valencia area in 2024 [...]

[...]Øystese, Norway I began my dual Bachelor's degree in Biological and Environmental Process Engineering at HUBER and the East Bavarian University of Applied Sciences in Amberg-Weiden in September 2021. The degree programme focuses primarily on natural sciences and engineering subjects such as fluid mechanics, mechanical and thermal process engineering, and water and wastewater treatment. In addition to theory, several practical projects must also be completed during the study-free periods. Practical experience at the HUBER Technology Centre I had the advantage of being able to gain practical [...]
