[...]Berching, Germany The ships of the Endeavor series are the worldwide biggest mega yachts with ice class PC6. They allow expeditions to paradisiacal islands that would be impossible with conventional cruise ships. Main travel destinations are the Arctic, Antarctic and the Caribbean. The ship ‘Crystal Endeavor’ will for the first time set sail in 2020 and take its maximum 200 passengers in 100 exclusive suites to the most remote corners of the world. Two HUBER Membrane Screen ROTAMAT ® RoMem 780 units with 0,5 mm mesh size will be installed on the ship to clean the wastewater from the cabins. The two HUBER fine screens are already standing in the hull of the ‘Crystal Endeavor’ at MV WERFTEN in Stralsund where the ship is being built. Together with the planning office, located in Pole, Great Britain, we have developed a special solution that is perfectly adapted to the requirements of a ship. As everyone knows, the space on a ship is scarce. The focus of the shipbuilding wharf was on providing as much space and comfort as possible for the passengers. The biggest challenge in this project was therefore to elaborate a solution for our customers that is space-saving but does not impair the optimal function of our machines. Due to the very good and open collaboration with the planning office and the customer, we have already received a new order for four HUBER Membrane Screen ROTAMAT ® RoMem units for two other ships. These are presently in the production process in our factory, and we have been informed that even more orders of this kind will follow.[...]

[...]Innovative solutions to increase water and energy efficiency Innovative solutions to increase water and energy efficiency HUBER will present a comprehensive range of products and solutions for the fields of drinking water supply, wastewater treatment and sludge treatment at IFAT 2018 from May 14 to 19 in hall A2 (booth no. 351). On a stand area of 1,100 m² HUBER will show a number of technology highlights in the form of real machines and plants, videos, animations and true to detail models. Experienced HUBER specialists will be available for advice for all national and international customers. One of the major topics for HUBER is digitalisation. By the example of implemented installations and projects – screens, sludge treatment plants and after-sales service – HUBER will give concrete examples that show the possibilities of digitalisation in the field of wastewater and sludge treatment and the enormous potential for future development towards Water 4.0. Sludge Treatment The worldwide successfully operated HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS ® will present itself in three design sizes at IFAT 2018. The machine design has been further optimized and offers now best dewatering efficiency with maximum energy efficiency. Easy operation and maintenance combined with small space requirements are additional advantages of this machine. With certain types of sludge, the dewatering efficiency can be influenced positively with the use of the newly developed HUBER Inline Mixer IPM . Through an adjustable energy input, even highly viscous and fibre-containing sludge can optimally be flocculated and the performance data of the sludge dewatering system thus influenced positively. A new size of the HUBER Sludgecleaner STRAINPRESS ® will be presented to experts and professionals for the first time at IFAT 2018. The STRAINRESS ® 420 is the new development of an inline sludge screening system for throughputs up to 150 m³/h. Coarse material separation and dewatering is performed in one process step. The machine can be integrated into pressure fed pipeline systems. Different screen perforation sizes enable the separation of fibre plaits from sewage sludge as well as the removal of plastic particles from fermentation residues. HUBER has implemented numerous national and international thermal sewage sludge treatment projects. For all solar sewage sludge drying projects, HUBER relies on the HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE ® in combination with the innovative HUBER climate control system . As a result of continuous further development, HUBER solar sewage sludge dryers excel for their excellent operational reliability, maximum energy efficiency and easiest operation. The HUBER Belt Dryer BT is a suitable alternative to solar sewage sludge drying. Due to its modular design the belt dryer can be adjusted to specific site conditions both energetically and in its design. Furthermore, innovative concepts for heat extraction from the drying process enable the maximum recovery of energy. The recovered energy can for example be fed to a local heating network. By means of detailed animations, models and videos of implemented sludge drying projects our specialists are happy to demonstrate the capabilities of HUBER's comprehensive sludge drying solutions. The last step in the process chain is the thermal utilisation of the treated sludge which we provide with our sludge2energy system. Mechanical Wastewater Treatment As HUBER is a global market leader in the field of mechanical wastewater treatment, we will of course show our latest further developments of screens as well. In addition to the latest design version of the worldwide known HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax ® , which will be shown in the different variants RakeMax ® HF, RakeMax ® J and RakeMax ® Hybrid, we will exhibit other well-proven HUBER screens, such as the HUBER Belt Screen EscaMax ® , HUBER Coarse Screen TrashMax ® , HUBER Rotary Drum Fine Screen ROTAMAT ® units and the HUBER Drum Screen LIQUID . At IFAT 2018, HUBER will for the first time present its newly developed HUBER Belt Screen CenterMax ® . This screen has been developed especially for deep and narrow channels and can be applied as both a first treatment stage or a pre-screening system upstream of membrane plants. Due to a fine-tuned range of design sizes we can offer the perfectly suitable machine for throughputs up to 10,000 m³/h. As a special IFAT highlight we will present the worldwide unique HUBER Safety Vision system. This innovative contaminant detection system for screens uses high-tech sensors to continuously measure the form and size of the coarse materials transported by the screen rake. Whenever the system detects any impermissible coarse material, the screen will be stopped and a warning message sent to the plant operators. Unintentional blockage or damage of the screen or downstream units is reliably prevented by the contaminant detection system. As a specialist for solids-liquid separation, HUBER has intensely been engaged in, among other, the field of grit separation for decades. With the newly developed HUBER Grit Trap GritWolf ® HUBER is setting new standards in grit separation. Due to optimized inflow conditions combined with the advantages of a lamella separator, the HUBER Grit Trap GritWolf ® is able to separate 90% of grit of grain size ≥ 75 µm.The new GritWolf ® grit trap is available in several sizes for flow rates from 160 m³/h (1 MGD) to 3,150 m³/h (20 MGD). With the HUBER CarbonWin ® System , HUBER offers an interesting possibility of retrofitting sewage treatment plants to change from an aerobic to an anaerobic sludge stabilisation process. The first process step of the HUBER CarbonWin ® System is a mechanical treatment stage followed by a grit and grease trap. A HUBER Drum Screen LIQUID is installed downstream of this assembly. The effluent from the drum screen is fed to the aerobic treatment system, whereas the separated fine screenings are thickened and passed on to anaerobic treatment in a digester. Filtration and Membrane Technology For the removal of micropollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals or hormones, which are increasingly the focus of public discussion, HUBER offers for the fourth treatment stage adsorptive elimination of such substances with the use of granulated active carbon. The heart of this process is the HUBER Active Carbon Filter CONTIFLOW ® GAC , the efficiency of which can be further increased by combining it with preceding ozonisation. The HUBER Membrane Filtration VRM ® 50 we presented for the first time at IFAT 2016 has proven well in practice, impressing with excellent performance in terms of clarification and energy efficiency.

[...]The German Family Business Association has announced the winners of the "Bavarian family business of the year" award. In the category of sustainability, the award has been won by the HUBER SE Company. For the association jury, HUBER SE is a flagship for the Bavarian economy. With more than 35,000 water treatment systems installed worldwide, the Berching based business is one of the most important international companies in this sector. "In times of scarce resources and ecological disasters, the economical use of water and the proper treatment of industrial wastewater is becoming increasingly important," commented jury spokesman Dr Walter Schmidt. This is where Huber is conducting pioneering work. The jury was particularly impressed by the work of the Huber Technology Foundation, which promotes awareness of water as a resource amongst young international engineers. "Companies like HUBER SE are excellent examples of how family companies fully assume their social responsibility," commented Dr Schmidt, on behalf of the jury. "Sustainability is not an empty promise, but plays a central role in operational practice." The prize of a Nymphenburg porcelain statue was accepted by Georg Huber, Chairman of HUBER SE. Commenting at the Bavarian Family Business Congress in Nuremberg he said that, "the award is a great honour for me and my staff. We accept the prize as an incentive to further pursue our path with determination".[...]

[...]Induction event over several days for the best possible start As the new training year begins, 23 apprentices and three dual-study students are starting their careers at HUBER SE. As part of a multi-day induction programme, the new recruits will familiarise themselves with the company, its employees and the Berching site, and gain an in-depth understanding of their future working environment. The new apprentices are spread across the following disciplines: seven in metalworking, three in mechatronics engineering, one in environmental technology specialising in wastewater management, two in industrial business administration, two in technical product design and one in plant mechanics at the Berlin/Waßmannsdorf service site. Additionally, two female students are beginning a dual degree programme in Bio- and Environmental Process Engineering at the East Bavarian University of Applied Sciences in Amberg-Weiden, while one student is starting an Industrial Engineering programme at the DHBW Mannheim. Welcome from the Executive Board, HR department and Works Council At the start of their training, the new apprentices and dual-study students received a warm welcome from Dr Oliver Rong (Vice CEO and Chief Technical and Production Officer), Rainer Köhler (Chief Technology Officer), and representatives from the Human Resources department, the training management team, and the works council. Dr. Oliver Rong: ’Training is an investment in the future’ In his welcome address, Dr Oliver Rong (Vice CEO and Chief Technical and Production Officer) said: 'For us, training is an investment in the future – the future of HUBER and, above all, the future of young people. Anyone who starts their career at HUBER is given the chance to build a long-term future for themselves and their family through excellent training, personal achievement, and taking on responsibility. We are proud that so many young people choose HUBER, and it is a great mark of confidence.’ Rainer Köhler, Chief Technology Officer, said: 'Our apprentices and dual-study students are the skilled workers of tomorrow. Many of our current managers and specialists started their careers here at HUBER. By providing practical training, modern learning and working conditions, and the support of experienced colleagues, we are laying the foundations for their successful career development.’ After the official welcome, there was an overview of the company, information on occupational health management, and a safety briefing. During a tour of the factory, the new recruits were able to get their first impression of the Berching/Erasbach site. The first day came to a close in a relaxed atmosphere. Structured introduction Over the next few days, the new recruits will receive more information about their apprenticeship and the dual study programme at HUBER. As well as organisational matters, this includes valuable guidance on company procedures. Group activities will help the new recruits get to know one another and foster a sense of team spirit. Practical information sessions and a detailed tour of the site will also help to ensure that their transition into everyday working life goes as smoothly as possible.[...]

[...]HUBER invests more than 2 million euro into the 3.000 m² expansion of its production area for and will generate more than 40 new jobs. Bavarian Economics Minister Zeil: „HUBER continues its 175 years success story“ The long-established Bavarian company HUBER SE, global market leader in the treatment of water, wastewater and sludge, expands its production capacity in Berching and generates more than 40 new jobs. Martin Zeil, Bavarian Economics Minister, welcomed the company’s decision to make this investment. “HUBER SE is a Bavarian showcase company known for its outstanding international competitiveness. The management decision in favour of the production site Berching is another proof that the Bavarian Upper Palatinate district will remain an excellent production location also in the future.” Dr. Oliver Rong, Vice CEO of HUBER SE, added: “Even after more than 175 years Berching and its surrounding communities still offer an excellent business environment: qualified personnel as well as perfect infrastructure. The optimal conditions we find here help us strengthen and improve our global competitiveness.” The company invests more than 2 million euro into the expansion of its production capacity. The building work for about 3,000 m² new production area will start in May and is planned to be finished in summer this year.[...]

[...]In the Colombian city Medellín the new sewage treatment plant Bello (pronounced Bejo ) is presently under construction. The plant is designed for 2.75 million PE and a capacity of 6.5 m³/s. To treat the sewage sludge that is generated on site the environmental company in the Upper Palatinate in Bavaria installed the well-proven HUBER Belt Dryer BT for this international mega project. A daily amount of 400 tons of dewatered sewage sludge is generated in Bello, of which approximately 310 tons are produced on site and another 90 tons come from a second sewage treatment plant in the city centre of Medellín, San Fernando. The sludge from San Fernando is transported to Bello by trucks. The according constructions and devices for transport, acceptance and storage will be provided. The plant operator Empresas Publicas de Medellín (EPM) placed the focus on a sustainable and economical disposal of the generated sewage sludge. Several technological concepts were analysed and tested under the prevailing conditions. The concept that was finally selected combines power-heat cogeneration with sewage sludge drying. HUBER SE participated in the tender for the project as the consortium manager in cooperation with a renowned Colombian plant manufacturer. The tender specification included the turnkey erection, engineering, construction and operation of the plant. After evaluation of the submitted technical and commercial offers the order was placed with the consortium under the management of HUBER in August this year. At the end of 2012 already, HUBER could secure the order for the supply, installation and commissioning of the complete mechanical equipment for the preliminary wastewater treatment. Due to references like this one and numerous successfully operating similar installations in the field of thermal sewage sludge treatment HUBER could convince the customer to be the right partner for this prestigious project. The total order value of the project is more than 50 million US dollar. The construction time will be only 22 months. The consortium will then also operate the plant for a certain period of time. Load-dependently controlled gas turbines which are supplied by the consortium will generate the electric power for the operation of this sewage treatment plant. The exhaust heat generated in this process will be used to dry the sewage sludge in the HUBER Belt Dryer. This solution is another step towards an energy-optimised operation of the complete sewage treatment plant. Excess energy is fed to the public grid. Perfectly matched state-of-the-art technologies and fully automated electrical control systems and process control systems are applied in this project. The concept implemented here for the utilisation of sewage sludge is path-breaking not only for Latin America, also in Germany it can serve as an innovative solution with downstream thermal sludge utilisation and phosphorus recovery under the aspect of the upcoming amendment of the Sewage Sludge Ordinance.
