[...]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 [...]

[...]Dublin, Ireland HUBER Technology UK was chosen as supplier of seven bar screens and seven screenings wash-presses for the Dublin Bay Inlet Works at Ringsend. The order also included supply of all control panels for all our machines. The plant’s management selected our multi-rake bar screens RakeMax® because of their low head loss during peak flow, in spite of their small bar spacing. Another selection criterion was their great screenings removal capacity. It also helped that our super-launder screenings presses WAP® SL provide superior washing intensity and compaction capability, resulting in a [...]

[...]Every wastewater regulation specifies a limit value for ‘lipophilic substances’, which in practice are referred to as grease. As a rule, more than 90 per cent of the total grease concentration is often present as dispersed grease particles and emulsified grease. Conventional grit and grease traps at sewage treatment works can only retain non-dispersed, floatable grease (DWA M760). The remaining dispersed substances are separated in the biological treatment section of the sewage treatment works. Various grit chamber solutions Factory-built grit chambers are often combined with grease traps ([...]

[...]In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, enough water of high quality is naturally available at any time. One could almost forget that our most important resource is highly sensitive and gives life not only to humans and animals but also to germs and microorganisms. There are therefore good reasons to protect our water resources and use air filters in drinking water reservoirs. “We have never always built water reservoirs without air filters. Why should we use air filters now?” You may have heard this provocative counter-question sometimes from a customer when you recommended that he should improve his[...]

[...]India The joint venture A.T.E. HUBER Envirotech continues to grow in the field of sludge dewatering, achieving considerable success with the HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS®. To provide optimal support for the first commissioning projects in India, twelve of the partner’s service technicians completed two intensive online training courses delivered by the HUBER Service Academy. This laid an important foundation for a smooth project start and the sustainable transfer of knowledge. Deepening technical and process knowledge The first training module focused on the technical fundamentals of the supplied[...]

[...]Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, Germany In August 2023, after more than two years of construction, one of the most cutting-edge systems for the removal of trace substances was successfully put into operation at the Uhldingen-Mühlhofen association sewage treatment plant. At the heart of the new treatment stage is a combined process of ozonation and activated carbon filtration on a technical scale that had not yet been implemented to date. 24 HUBER CONTIFLOW® GAC activated carbon filters and HUBER TT7 pressure door HUBER supplied the two-lane activated carbon stage with a total of 24 CONTIFLOW® GAC activated[...]

[...]Germany Germany's pioneering role in the fourth treatment stage: More and more wastewater treatment plants are relying on HUBER’s proven technology modules It has been in force since 1 January 2025 – the new EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWD). One of the key points is the comprehensive introduction of the fourth treatment stage in Europe. This affects all wastewater treatment plants larger than 150,000 PE and larger than 10,000 PE in sensitive areas, which must be defined by the member states by the end of 2030. Germany, above all Baden-Württemberg, has taken on an important [...]
