[...]Sharjah, UAE Population growth in Dubai and adjacent Sharjah is a consequence of rapid development. Population growth, enforced growing wealth and luxury, generate great strain on the infrastructure of these cities. All existing wastewater treatment plants are heavily overloaded. Several treatment plants are presently in the process of becoming extended and upgraded, but even when the construction and installation will be finished, the plants will hardly be able to treat the enormous and ever growing wastewater flows. Because of freshwater scarcity in this arid region, treated wastewater is viewed[...]

[...]Emschermündung, Germany The hydraulic capacity of the wastewater treatment plant Emschermündung is 30 m³/s. This is a gigantic flow, larger than of any other German, perhaps even European, wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater arrives at the plant not via conventional sewers, but its inflow is the river Emscher. The treated effluent of the plant enters the river Rhine. This is the reason why the plant’s name is Emschermündung, meaning “mouth of the Emscher”. The river Emscher flows through the northern part of the old industrial heartland of Germany, the Ruhr region. The Emscher river is [...]
[...]Wackersdorf, Germany The aim of the waste management industry is the processing of sands and mineral waste into recyclable fractions. Decisive for the competitiveness of a waste management company is the economic acceptance and treatment of the input material. Especially the low operating costs as well as the low maintenance requirements of the HUBER machine technology form the basis for the economic efficiency of the sand treatment process. Furthermore, HUBER technology ensures a consistently high quality of the recyclable fractions. This, in turn, provides the waste management company with planning[...]
