[...]Egypt A sewage treatment plant is under construction in Egypt, in the east of the Suez Canal, for the treatment of wastewater and agricultural wastewater from the sewer system Bahr El-Baqar. To ease the water shortage in the Sinai region, the clarified water will be returned to the El-Salam canal and serve for the irrigation of agricultural land on the Sinai Peninsula. With a total capacity of 5 million m³ per day, this plant will be the biggest water treatment plant in the world. Huge amounts of sludge are generated in the different treatment processes on the wastewater treatment plant. This[...]

[...]Sheboygan, WI, USA A new HUBER Belt Dryer project is on the way in the USA. A BT 18 dryer for a throughput of 11,700 t/a will be installed at Sheboygan in the US state Wisconsin. HUBER SE could win the order already in July 2012. We were commissioned to supply not only the belt drying plant, our scope of delivery includes also a HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS®, size 800 for sludge dewatering. The HUBER Belt Dryer we supply to Sheboygan will be the first installation of the new dryer generation in the USA. The plant conception excels for its excellent energy efficiency and a high level of safety. The[...]

[...]At the IFAT 2005 in Munich the unrivalled market leader in the field of grit washing plants presents itself as a real champion: The 1,000 COANDA Grit Washing units sold impressively demonstrate that this plant is being accepted as the standard solution in mechanical wastewater treatment. When the first pilot plants were built in 1994, many considered it unnecessary to additionally wash the grit produced by a sewage treatment plant. The industry took a stance against this technology regarding it as technically infeasible. When attending site a sense of amusement by the plant operators was [...]

[...]Bickenbach and Uhldingen, Germany How can a fourth treatment stage be optimally integrated or retrofitted, taking into account all individual requirements and boundary conditions? This is a question that many municipalities, operators and wastewater associations will soon be asking themselves. In Bickenbach (Hesse) and Uhldingen (Baden-Württemberg), they are already one step ahead. Those responsible there have already taken action and assumed an important pioneering role with the start of large-scale implementation. Bickenbach STP Hesse’s first quaternary treatment stage In Bickenbach, the official[...]

[...]South Padre Island, TX, USA In the southernmost part of Texas, not far from the Mexican border and directly on the Gulf of Mexico, lies the headland of South Padre Island. This place is made for holidays, with sun, sand and sea. From February to October, streams of tourists roll there on the fine sandy beach and enjoy the waves and the warmth, which is about 40°C during the day. As there is also a high humidity of over 90%, the best place to spend the day is in the sea or at the pool. The exposed location of South Padre Island has of course also its disadvantage. Many people take a shower several [...]

[...]Easy to open by a single person and made of a robust, durable material: these are features of HUBER manhole covers that have been a matter of course for a long time already. But what are other, equally important requirements on a manhole cover? 1. Meets legal regulations and normative standards HUBER manhole covers always meet currently applicable standards, thus providing safety and the required level of protection for the operating staff. All our covers raised from ground are designed and constructed according to the latest version (April 2018) of DIN 1239 ” Coverings for wells, spring water[...]

[...]New pressure doors? Hasn't HUBER successfully manufactured a large number of pressure doors for a long time already? That's right – since the early eighties about 250 to 300 a year. What new features would make them better? The pressure doors (TT7) we have produced by now are laid out for a limited static load of up to 10 m water column. The feedback we get from the market, from suggestions, predictions or even concrete inquiries, we know that this pressure resistance will not be sufficient any more for many future building projects. A pressure resistance of up to 30 m water column could [...]

[...]Penzing, Germany Solar sewage sludge drying has become a generally accepted ecological and economical technology. To make the implementation and operation of a solar drying plant a sustainable success, all relevant aspects need to be fulfilled: economic and planning aspects but as well acceptance on the part of the operator and the public. One of the plants that offer both, a perfect design concept and acceptance, is installed on WWTP Penzing-Weil near the Upper Bavarian lake Ammersee located southwest of Munich. About 8,500 residents are connected to this aerobic stabilised sewage treatment [...]

[...]Sargans, Switzerland High level of user-friendliness increased even further In Sargans, Switzerland's first HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS ® Q 800.2 was installed in 2017 for dewatering digested sewage sludge. The latest generation of screw press could win the competition against other systems due to its very high operational reliability and user-friendliness, complete stainless steel construction and very low operating costs. The demands on the system are extremely high. An essential factor is the required DR concentration in the dewatered sludge of over 30% with simultaneously clear filtrate quality.[...]

[...]Erlangen, Germany Convincing belt drying solution for sewage sludge At the beginning of 2021, HUBER was awarded the contract for the supply of a HUBER Belt Dryer BT 16 for WWTP Erlangen after an EU-wide public tender. In the run-up to the tender for this advanced sludge treatment project for a volume of 15,700 t/a, several processes were investigated. These were: Solar Sewage Sludge Drying Hydrothermal carbonisation Belt drying The decision was made in favour of the belt drying option, as this drying process allows the sewage sludge to be dried continuously to >= 90% DR. The thermal energy demand of[...]
