[...]Amsterdam, Netherlands When the Dutch sewage treatment plant Amsterdam-West was modernised in 2006 it was redesigned for the treatment capacity of 1,000,000 PE. In addition, more than another 1,000,000 PE external sludge can be treated there. In the past, particularly the treatment of primary sludge was a problem in terms of the operating reliability of the entire sludge line. The solids contained in the different types of pre-treated sludge and from the transport tanks cause high wear and lead to unforeseeable maintenance work requirements on pumps, digestor internals and sludge dewatering [...]

[...]Medellin, Colombia HUBER Belt Dryer BT 30 in Colombia Located in the second largest Colombian city of Medellin, the new Bello wastewater treatment plant (2.75 million population equivalents) with a maximum inflow of 6.5 m³/s went already into operation in mid-2018. For drying the sewage sludge treated in the 6 digesters, the HUBER Schrader-Camargo consortium installed the proven HUBER Belt Dryer BT, thus implementing an international mega project. The contract value for the consortium for the construction of the turnkey drying plant is over 44 million Euros. Every day 310 tons of dewatered [...]

[...]Mannheim, Germany First of three HUBER Belt Dryer BT 22 units in regular operation Back in 2017, HUBER received the order to modernise the sludge drying system of Stadtentwässerung Mannheim on the site of the Mannheim wastewater treatment plant. Three HUBER Belt Dryer BT units of size 22 replace the two older drum dryers. The modernisation of the sewage sludge drying system not only includes the dismantling of the old drum dryers and the construction of the new belt dryers. The entire heating concept was also adapted to the new medium-temperature belt dryers. The objective of Stadtentwässerung[...]

[...]Basel, Switzerland Wastewater as a heat source for heat pump systems represents a highly efficient energy source and energy sink. Its use is however often limited to big sewer diameters and high flow rates. This article presents an alternative to the use of heat from sewer wastewater: the use of the exhaust heat of locally generated wastewater as a regenerative and sustainable energy source for the production of service water and heating buildings, like in the example of the old-age home Hofmatt in Switzerland that is described below. Introduction Due to the ever improving quality of building [...]

[...]Arosa, Swiss A CO2-neutral hotel with HUBER technology? Yes, Valsana The Valsana Hotel & Apartment Arosa sets new standards for its sustainable energy concept and is heated 100% without fossil fuels. The lifestyle boutique hotel in the popular holiday destination of Arosa in the Swiss Alps has already proven in 2017 that sustainability can be successfully accomplished in harmony with nature and customer needs with an integrated approach in the upscale hotel industry. This pioneering achievement by the Tschuggen Hotel Group as owner of the Valsana was implemented long before the climate debate[...]

[...]Berching, Germany Sewage sludge disposal is a key issue on sewage treatment works. Irrespective of the way of sludge utilization, sludge weight and volume are the main causes for high costs. State-of-the-art technology offers several dewatering options but most of these solutions disregard the rich energy potential of filtrate water. The wastewater heat exchanger HUBER RoWin utilises this energy potential. The primary goal of sewage sludge dewatering on wastewater treatment plants is to increase sludge solids contents. With the presently available state-of-the-art technology dry substance contents of [...]

[...]Berching, Germany Environmental disasters, such as the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the global economic crisis and ever decreasing resources remind us that we urgently need a safe, eco-friendly and financially attractive energy source. Right below the ground, in sewers, is an unnoticed hidden source of energy that fulfils all these criteria: municipal wastewater. The HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin has been developed especially for this application. Heat pumps use environmental energy sources, normally groundwater or air. But both elements have the disadvantage that their energy level [...]

[...]Witzenhausen, Germany A sewage treatment plant in Witzenhausen, a retirement home in Switzerland, and an office building in France – What do they have in common? The answer is: They all use eco-friendly, regenerative energy from wastewater during the next heating period. This demonstrates the wide range of applications the HUBER RoWin Heat Exchanger offers. In the shadow of the large order HUBER received from the Ministry of the Interior in Stuttgart it have been the smaller orders which show the wide field of application of the HUBER ThermWin® System. On WWTP Witzenhausen for example the energy[...]

[...]Regensburg, Germany In the city of Regensburg in the Upper Palatinate, an administrative district in the Northeast of Bavaria, the new museum of Bavarian history is currently under construction. The worldwide successful environmental company HUBER SE based in Berching is involved in this building project as the supplier of a sustainable, innovative system solution which makes it possible to heat and cool the museum building with energy from wastewater. It is a prestigious project which is of special importance for HUBER, not only due to its proximity to the company's headquarters. Bavaria and[...]

[...]Munich, Germany "Klinikum rechts der Isar" is the university hospital of TU Munich (TUM). There is an intensive cooperation between the university's research facilities and the clinical centre. About 5,000 employees dedicate themselves to the care of sick, research and science. Every year, about 60,000 patients profit from residential treatment and 245,000 from ambulatory treatment at the highest medical level. With about 30 clinics and departments and about 1,100 beds the hospital is a house of supramaximal care which covers the whole spectrum of modern medicine. Due to the close cooperation [...]
