[...]Shanghai, China Megacities and their problem with construction waste Example: Shanghai Beside Beijing and Hong Kong, Shanghai is one of the most important industrial locations and market places in the People’s Republic of China. In the recent years, the city has had a remarkable growth spurt. Fifty years ago, about seven million people were living in the metropolitan area Shanghai, today the city has more than 25 million inhabitants. Along with the city’s growth came innumerable building projects with huge amounts of construction waste and other waste products. More and more of such material [...]

[...]Kappern, Austria In Kappern near Marchtrenk, a town between Wels and Linz, lies Austria’s second biggest sewage treatment plant which is designed for 160,000 PE. The main collector A has to cope with a high combined rainwater and sanitary sewer flow. Due to the given specific conditions the stormwater overflow tank Kappern offered an interesting opportunity to combine the two HUBER storm screen types, ROTAMAT® Storm Screen RoK1 and ROTAMAT® Storm Screen RoK2. Due to the screens’ high flexibility and capacity only minor structural adaptation work was necessary to optimally realize this project[...]

[...]Newark, UK A HUBER Technology Wastewater Case Study HUBER Technology recently completed a project at Crankley Point STW located in Newark. The scheme was part of a £60 million investment by Severn Trent Water in Newarks waste and water systems to prevent flooding at around 400 homes in Newark. Part of this work involved the construction combined sewer tunnel 2.8m in diameter with a new terminal pumping station built at Crankley Point STW. Project Profile HUBER Technology were first approached to look at the outline design of the project in 2012 directly by Severn Trent Water and as the project [...]

[...]Ruggell, Liechtenstein Due to ever increasing surface sealing high amounts of rain water occur suddenly and flow into the sewer system along with domestic wastewater. As the stormwater amounts which occur are very high therefore, the flow capacity must be regulated by means of stormwater tanks to relieve the sewer system. The municipality Ruggell therefore commissioned the engineering office Wenaweser+Partner Bauingenieure AG in Ruggell (Liechtenstein) to plan the stormwater tank "Kirche". Now as the stormwater tank has been erected the combined water (stormwater and domestic wastewater) [...]

[...]Innsbruck, Austria Innsbrucker Kommunalbetriebe AG (IKB) invest into a HUBER Belt Dryer BT 16. With its strategy “ from sewage works to power plant ”, IKB’s wastewater treatment plant Innsbruck sustainably produces energy and intelligently integrates it into its existing system. The aim is to further increase the efficiency of the complete sewage treatment works and make it one of the most modern plants in Europe. With its about 130,000 inhabitants, Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, is the fifth largest city of Austria and produces 50,000 m³ wastewater a day (peak: 145,000 m³) together with its 14 [...]

[...]Varna, Bulgaria The Bulgarian Black Sea Coast along the city of Varna with 300,000 residents is an important economic factor, especially due to its touristic potential. The European Union decided in 2002 to give aid money for the protection of the Black Sea, in particular for upgrading and building new local sewage treatment plants. The capacity of the sewage treatment plant at Varna could therefore be expanded to 450,000 PE and equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The main intention was to minimise the direct discharge of untreated wastewater to the Black Sea. They wanted to achieve that [...]

[...]Ampfing, Germany The turkey slaughterhouse Süddeutsche Truthahn AG was built in Ampfing in 2002. With 500 employees and 200 contractual fatteners, the independent Süddeutsche Truthahn AG generates an annual turnover of more than 170 million euros. The slaughterhouse Süddeutsche Truthahn AG produces approx. 800 m³ of wastewater daily. This wastewater has already been collected in the production building and treated in the wastewater building with a preliminary screen (curved screen) and a flotation system and discharged to the adjacent wastewater treatment plant. Due to continuous expansion [...]

[...]The advanced treatment of sewage sludge or industrial residual sludge is increasingly gaining in importance also for industrial customers. Whereas, until recently, the common strategy was to pass the sludge on to disposal companies at low costs, this has now become more and more complicated, difficult and especially more expensive due to the modified and now more stringent German Fertilizer Regulation and Waste Sewage Sludge Ordinance and because of the generally increasing costs in the disposal industry. Therefore, industrial customers increasingly concern themselves with strategies how to additionally[...]

[...]Berching, Germany The ships of the Endeavor series are the worldwide biggest mega yachts with ice class PC6. They allow expeditions to paradisiacal islands that would be impossible with conventional cruise ships. Main travel destinations are the Arctic, Antarctic and the Caribbean. The ship ‘Crystal Endeavor’ will for the first time set sail in 2020 and take its maximum 200 passengers in 100 exclusive suites to the most remote corners of the world. Two HUBER Membrane Screen ROTAMAT ® RoMem 780 units with 0,5 mm mesh size will be installed on the ship to clean the wastewater from the cabins[...]

[...]Freystadt, Germany Due to the new regulations and legislation for sewage sludge, disposal costs have doubled for many sewage treatment plants or increased to far more than 100 € per ton original substance. The reason for the cost increase is that the standard solution for meeting the requirements of the new legislation is sludge incineration. Incineration capacities are however unequally distributed and exploited to a large extent, and transport ways have become longer on many sites. Disposal costs can be reduced if the sludge volume is reduced through drying. The Bavarian municipality Freystadt [...]
