[...]Bickenbach, Germany Advanced Wastewater Treatment: HUBER Active Carbon Filter CONTIFLOW® GAK and HUBER Disc Filter RotaFilt® Convince The Bickenbach Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) will be the first WWTP in Hesse (Germany) to receive advanced wastewater treatment for the removal of trace substances. At the end of 2022, the wastewater treatment plant of size class 4 (35,000 population equivalents) will be extended by an ozonation system with a downstream four-line activated carbon filter stage and an upstream two-line cloth filtration as pretreatment. Among others, HUBER will supply two HUBER[...]
[...]Denitrification in the sand filter for nitrogen reduction Nitrogen is a basic building block of life and nature and, like phosphorus, is indispensable as a nutrient for all humans, animals and plants. Municipal wastewater contains various nitrogen compounds (including organically bound ammonium and nitrate). The removal of nitrogen is one of the main tasks of municipal biological wastewater treatment, because without sufficient nitrogen removal, the discharge of wastewater into receiving waters has significant negative effects on water quality and thus on flora and fauna. Denitrification Downstream[...]
[...]Process technology for the treatment and recycling of biowaste Saving disposal costs Treating process water and purifying wastewater Minimising residues Separating disturbing solids (plastic) Reducing operating costs The aim of biological waste treatment is to recover energy from the organic fraction of household waste as well as from organic waste, such as biowaste and food waste. For dry aerobic treatment (composting) and wet anaerobic treatment (fermentation with biogas production), good mechanical pre-treatment of the supplied biowaste is essential for the reliability and performance of the[...]
[...]Complete solutions for wastewater, process water, residues and sludge Reduce disposal costs Comply with limit values Separate solids and contaminants Dewater sludge Separate biomass Reuse water We offer proven and customised solutions with short payback times for all wastewater problems in the beverage industry – for breweries and malt houses as well as for manufacturers and bottlers of fruit juices, soft drinks and mineral water. High solids loads and COD values are typical for the beverage industry. We have safe and proven solutions to reduce the loads on site. Wastewater treated in this way [...]
[...]All-round building protection with tested security We must eliminate the risk of any manipulation of our drinking water and its quality. Access to the free water surface must be prevented and the plants protected against vandalism and theft. The exterior shell of objects should therefore be designed as a mechanical barrier with a long resistance time. Criminal investigation departments recommend, among other measures, the use of security doors certified to resistance class RC3 or RC4 in compliance with DIN EN 1627. For vertical access, it is best to use tested security manholes covers . Certified[...]
[...]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 [...]
[...]Our demonstration plants with the HUBER Drum Screen LIQUID for the reduction of the pollution load in the inlet to wastewater treatment plants are in great demand and fully booked until 2020. Even in the local press, our machine technology receives attention again and again. On average, the location of a trial plant changes every 8 weeks. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, a well-coordinated, proven HUBER team takes over the organisation and integrates the responsible persons on site. Two applications are in special demand by our customers: Bridging operation during the rehabilitation of[...]
[...]Efficient wastewater pre-treatment to achieve indirect discharge quality Compared to municipal wastewater, the generated industrial wastewater is much more polluted, and the composition of the wastewater varies greatly. In particular, pollution by organic or inorganic substances depends on the sector of industry, the product range, the production methods and, last but not least, the individual usage behaviour. Many industries discharge their wastewater directly into the sewer and must therefore comply with certain limits for COD and solids, ensure pH neutrality and reduce grease content to a minimum[...]
[...]Development of innovative sewage treatment technology as a component for energy self-sufficient treatment plants For the process changeover from aerobic to anaerobic sludge stabilisation fine screening systems represent a highly interesting alternative when it comes to reducing the solids loads in the biological treatment stage. Fine screening achieves better removal rates than a conventional primary settling tank but on a much smaller footprint and with significantly lower investment costs. Changeover from aerobic to anaerobic sludge stabilisation reduces aeration costs by at least 20-25%. The [...]
