[...]Magilligan, Northern Ireland HUBER Technology successfully completed the NI Water Magilligan WwTW scheme. Project Profile The Magilligan region is located on the north coast of Northern Ireland just north of the town Limvardy. This area is very popular with tourists and incorporates a Blue Flag beach at Benone as well as a significant portion of land designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC).It was concluded from an assessment that a single wastewater scheme for the Magilligan region would be the most cost effective solution whilst offering additional qualitative benefits for the area[...]
[...]No other type of machines manufactured by HUBER SE are applied as universally as the HUBER conveyors. Whether in wastewater screening or grit/sludge treatment, HUBER conveyors ensure the reliable transport of material to downstream systems and are therefore indispensable for problem-free plant operation. HUBER SE offers three different types of machine for the conveyance of materials: Type of machine Processable medium HUBER Screw Conveyor Ro8 T, trough conveyor - Untreated or compacted screenings - Grit - Sludge (dewatered or dry) HUBER Screw Conveyor Ro8, closed pipe conveyor - Untreated[...]
[...]Applications and Benefits A tailored solution to suit any application: Industrial and municipal applications Primary and secondary treatment stage Protection of membrane plants Replacement for primary settlement tank Load reduction in the biological treatment system through reduction of COD / AFS Screening in the inlet to power plants Treatment of cooling water circuits Brewery wastewater River and sea outfall Surface and river water screening The benefits are obvious Economical channel/machine sizing Low life-cycle costs Easy maintenance and operation Automatic, rotating high pressure system [...]
[...]Kaditz, Germany Hot and greasy – sludge screening with the STRAINPRESS® On the way from a sewage treatment works to an energy park – Stadtentwässerung Dresden undertake a variety of measures on STP Kaditz to achieve this goal. One of these measures is the acceptance and treatment of foreign material for co-fermentation in the digesters. They want to use the energy-rich grease sludge to increase the gas production in the two 10,500 m³ digesters and thus achieve a significantly higher energy production in the two block heat and power plants. The grease separator contents delivered by tanker [...]
[...]Braunschweig, Germany The "baby" solar dryer is back In 2012, HUBER SE manufactured a mobile solar dryer in a container for Expoval Sludge, a research project supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The dryer was extensively tested in cooperation with the Institute for Sanitary Engineering of the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany, in Poland and in Colombia. The results achieved with the dryer were summed up in a DWA work sheet on solar sludge drying. The baby solar dryer was recently taken out of the research project and overhauled. In autumn this year[...]
[...]Over the past ten years HUBER Screw Press units have become the worldwide leading products among the screw presses on the market. Numerous experiences with screw presses on almost thousand installations in various fields of application and long-term trust-based contacts to many plant operators result now in an extensive improvement in screw press efficiency. The new Q-PRESS® excels for several features: Axially dividable filter baskets are optionally available, they facilitate maintenance work significantly. Massive components, such as the screw shaft and some filter elements, can remain in the [...]
[...]Nova Gorica, Slovenia HUBER received the first order for a Belt Dryer BT installation in Slovenia. Besides a number of other HUBER products, the BT 8 will be installed on the sewage treatment plant of the town Nova Gorica in western Slovenia, not far from the Italian border. The dryer is designed for an annual throughput of 9,300 t dewatered sewage sludge. In summer 2014, HUBER received the order to supply the complete equipment for mechanical wastewater treatment and sludge treatment. The mechanical equipment comprises two coarse screens type HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax®, two fine [...]
[...]Bayreuth, Germany In a new sludge treatment plant in Bayreuth the sludge from 300,000 PE is dewatered and dried – fully automatically, with the use of exhaust heat and exhaust air treatment. The project is still in the construction phase. The new plant will process the generated sludge from 2016 on. From the dewatering system into the dryer The digester sludge with a DR content of between 2.5 and 3.5% is dewatered by two centrifuges and automatically transported into the solar dryer by screw conveyors.The dry residue is measured automatically by a probe so that polymer consumption can be optimized[...]
[...]Berching, Germany Simple and low-cost method of phosphorus removal from wastewater The nutrients we discharge into water courses (phosphorus, nitrogen) severely impairs water quality in the long run. Even phosphate contents in the lower microgram range can already have a negative effect on the oxygen content in waters and thus increase their eutrophication potential. Eutrophication is referred to as the enrichment of a water body by plant nutrients (overfertilation). These nutrients lead to increased algae growth, and algae make the water turbid. After some time, only the surface-near layer [...]
[...]Castres, France HUBER's first small grit treatment system in France Castres is a French municipality in the South of France which is located on the river Agout and characterized by industrial enterprises. The best known local enterprise is the pharmaceutical and cosmetics company Pierre Fabre Laboratories which has its headquarters in Castres. In the middle of the industrial zone, not far from the Pierre Fabre Laboratories you will find the sewage treatment plant of Castres. The plant is designed for 95,000 PE and clarifies the wastewater of the population of Castres and of the nearby industrial[...]
