[...]History The Huber Technology Foundation was established in 2006 on the initiative of Hans Georg Huber. That was the year in which the then Chairman of the Executive Board of HUBER SE was awarded the prestigious ‘German Environmental Prize’. For him with his boundless enthusiasm for engineering profession, it was only natural to contribute the prize money to a foundation. From the very beginning, the Foundation’s clear objective has been to promote awareness of water – an often scarce resource – amongst young engineers worldwide, whilst also raising public awareness. In addition, the Foundation[...]
[...]China A strong addition to the HUBER portfolio The GritWolf®, the cross-flow lamella separator, completed the HUBER grit trap portfolio a few years ago. HUBER is the competent partner worldwide for grit removal in every application, whether municipal or industrial, in existing or new constructions, or with longitudinal, round or tangentially accelerated systems. A successful model with a unique selling point The HUBER GritWolf®, launched on the market a few years ago, is enjoying brisk demand. Its unique selling point as a lamella separator, coupled with reliable grit removal by means of a screw [...]
[...]Rehau, Germany HUBER Longitudinal Grit Trap ROTAMAT® Ro6 Bio and HUBER Grit Washer RoSF G4E increase operating reliability and reduce operating costs Bioenergiezentrum Hochfranken (BEZ) is an association of the town Rehau, the administrative districts Hof and Wunsiedel and some local companies supplying the town and districts with regenerative energy. Beside different plants from the companies involved, the biowaste fermentation plant is at the heart of the new concept. The fermentation plant treats the biowaste of the munipalities involved, covering nearly 40% of the local primary energy demand. [...]
[...]Schallstadt, Germany The energy turnaround has already been under discussion for several years. The events on the energy market in 2022 at the latest have now made it very clear to the public that there is a very great need for reorientation on the “heat market”. The discussions about the right fuel are in full swing. HUBER SE has a solution that does not require any fuel at all: it is based on exploiting the energetic potential of wastewater using the HUBER ThermWin system. Energy from wastewater replaces renewable and fossil fuels In Schallstadt in Baden-Württemberg (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald[...]
[...]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 [...]
[...]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 and Cooling with Water and Wastewater HUBER ThermWin makes heat and cold potential from wastewater and surface water available to cities, municipalities, energy suppliers, building operators and industrial companies. Rising energy costs, ambitious climate targets and the requirements of municipal heating planning increase the need for locally accessible energy sources. From sewage treatment plants and sewer systems to buildings and waters and industrial processes, HUBER ThermWin helps integrate heat and cooling potentials from wastewater and surface water into building, heat and process[...]
[...]Heating and Cooling Buildings with Wastewater Efficient and sustainable solutions by combining wastewater heat exchanger and heat pump Using wastewater as a heat source and heat sink for heating and cooling buildings reduces primary energy use and saves CO2 emissions. Using wastewater as a heat source and heat sink for heating and cooling buildings reduces primary energy use and saves CO2 emissions. Heating and Cooling with Wastewater from the Sewer System The HUBER ThermWin process allows heating and cooling of buildings using the wastewater in the sewage system as a regenerative energy source[...]
[...]Berching, Germany Environmental disasters, such as the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the global economic crisis and ever decreasing resources remind us that we urgently need a safe, eco-friendly and financially attractive energy source. Right below the ground, in sewers, is an unnoticed hidden source of energy that fulfils all these criteria: municipal wastewater. The HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin has been developed especially for this application. Heat pumps use environmental energy sources, normally groundwater or air. But both elements have the disadvantage that their energy level [...]
