[...]Complete Plants are complete systems for the mechanical treatment of small to medium amounts of wastewater from 10 to 300 l/s. Basically, a Complete Plant consists of two main components: screen and grit trap. As an option, other systems can be added, such as screenings treatment units, aeration systems or a grease trap. Since 2000, mechanical state-of-the-art wastewater treatment has additionally comprised a grit washing plant so that the screen, grit trap and grit washer are usually mentioned in the same breath. In case of conventional installations with ‘independent’ units the optimal [...]
[...]Schwarzenfeld, Germany HUBER supplies the sludge dewatering plant for Naabtaler Milchwerke The dairy company Bechtel recently built its own new industrial wastewater treatment plant. HUBER supplied three screw press units, type Q-Press® 620, for sludge dewatering. Naabtaler Milchwerke GmbH & CoKG, Privatmolkerei Bechtel, founded in 1908, is a large German dairy company based in the Bavarian town Schwarzenfeld.

[...]Ortenburg, Germany In their meeting of 21 October 2010 the market town council of Ortenburg decided in favour of the concept submitted by the engineering office Richter from Passau. In September 2013, after almost three years of planning and construction, the market town council Ortenburg put the new sewage treatment plant in Blindham into operation within an official ceremony. The new sewage treatment works is designed for 11,000 PE and provides state-of-the-art wastewater treatment. The treated effluent is discharged to the river Wolfach. The HUBER ROTAMAT® Complete Plant, type Ro5 HD with[...]
[...]Magdeburg, Germany The sewage treatment works Magdeburg/Gerwisch was officially commissioned in 1999 after a construction period of two and a half years. It is designed for 426,000 PE and operates with 90 percentage utilisation. An annual average of 17 million cubic metres of wastewater and stormwater is treated on this sewage treatment plant. All coarse waste material is retained in the three-line and two-line screening plant. When the sewage treatment works was planned 15 years ago for the installation of three fine screens, additional space was already planned for the later installation of [...]
[...]Berching, Germany At HUBER SE, the 3,000th RakeMax® screen has left the factory at the company’s headquarters in Berching. In the course of its almost 20-year success story, the RakeMax® has become the flagship among screening systems. The HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax ® , firmly established in the market and first presented to the public at the International Trade Fair for Sewage Technology IFAT 2005, has meanwhile proven itself more than three thousand times on the worldwide market of wastewater technology due to its versatile application possibilities. The “anniversary machine” RakeMax[...]
[...]Star, Idaho, USA The Star Water and Sewer District knew change was going to come. The plant’s existing in-channel grinder technology wasn’t just aging, it was obsolete. The unit was also in need of repairs that could force two weeks of downtime. Regardless of what they did to “fix” the existing unit, its performance would lag behind newer screening technology. Consultants and engineers pointed the district to HUBER and its ROTAMAT® STAR fine screen as a replacement that would take the plant into the future. The single-most important result that Star Sewer and Water District Waste Water [...]
[...]HUBER presents the HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® CF, an innovative variant of the well-proven RakeMax® system with a Centre Flow screen. The model impresses with its hydraulic throughput capacity by means of a U-shaped bar rack, even with small bar spacings and in narrow channels. It offers an optimal hydraulic utilisation of existing channels and the screen is unsusceptible to grit, gravel and stones. Due to its different design options the RakeMax® CF covers a very wide range of applications, allowing us to respond to the individual needs of our customers and to specific constructional[...]
[...]Groß-Gerau, Germany The Gerauer Land waterworks supplies around 65,000 inhabitants in the Hessian district of Groß-Gerau with drinking water. The water supply amounts to around 3.3 million m³ per year. The water supply is ensured by extracting groundwater from their own ten deep wells, then treating it to produce drinking water by means of iron removal and demanganisation, and feeding it into the network via a central pressure booster station. After more than half a century of operation, the valves, pipelines, pumps and technical doors had reached the end of their service life. When renewing [...]
[...]Stay on the safe side! The need for security has strongly increased especially in the recent past. This development can be recognized in nearly all situations of life. The security requirements are however especially high where a great many people could be affected very easily. Drinking water supply is an example for such a case. The facilities in this sensitive environment are often in a very poor condition. To identify potential weak points, the authorities recently simulated burglary attempts on public institutions, among them also drinking water supply structures. This campaign lead to [...]
[...]Gessen, Germany When membrane technology solutions appeared on the market for the treatment of municipal wastewater, the requirements on mechanical wastewater treatment systems changed fundamentally. Conventional screens with their bar spacings or perforations of 6 to 10 mm were no longer sufficient for the membrane bioreactors used today. The efficiency of one-dimensional screens such as wedge wire screens, especially the removal of hairs and fibres, turned out to be insufficient to guarantee the safe operation of membrane plants. It became necessary to develop a new type of two-dimensional mesh[...]
