[...]Like mechanical components, the control system components of your HUBER machine are subject to natural ageing and wear. These can have a negative effect on the function and operational safety of the plant and impair it. In the worst case, this can result in machine failure – with far-reaching consequences. In practice, in such a "worst case scenario", the machines are operated non-stop or safety devices are bypassed. This can lead to extreme wear or even mechanical damage to the machines and, in the worst case, to accidents and personal injury. Long machine downtimes and thus high costs are [...]
[...]Stemwede, Germany At the Stemwede wastewater treatment plant in North Rhine-Westphalia, a major infrastructure project has been successfully completed in recent months: The plant’s mechanical pre-treatment system has been completely renewed. This involved the removal of two ageing screens and the refurbishment of the concrete channel. Subsequently, two modern HUBER Multi-Rake Bar Screen RakeMax® units with 5 mm bar spacing and a high-performance HUBER Wash Press WAP were installed. In addition, a HUBER Coanda Grit Washer RoSF4 has been operating reliably at the plant since 2004. Complex construction[...]

[...]Newark, UK A HUBER Technology Wastewater Case Study HUBER Technology recently completed a project at Crankley Point STW located in Newark. The scheme was part of a £60 million investment by Severn Trent Water in Newarks waste and water systems to prevent flooding at around 400 homes in Newark. Part of this work involved the construction combined sewer tunnel 2.8m in diameter with a new terminal pumping station built at Crankley Point STW. Project Profile HUBER Technology were first approached to look at the outline design of the project in 2012 directly by Severn Trent Water and as the project [...]
[...]Stormwater Screens Combined sewage screens for wastewater treatment at sewer overflows and stormwater discharges HUBER Storm Screen ROTAMAT® RoK1 Stormwater Screens HUBER Storm Screen ROTAMAT® RoK2 Stormwater Screens Innovative HUBER System Solutions for Combined and Stormwater Treatment Advanced combined and stormwater treatment in municipal combined sewers is a main issue with regard to sustainable environmental and water protection. HUBER screens are used to retain debris and other coarse solids within the sewer systems and to prevent them from overflowing into receiving water bodies during [...]
[...]Spain Spain and the wider Mediterranean region experience intense rainfall repeatedly within very short time periods. This has increased over the last decade. During such events, when several hundred millimetres of rain fall in a short space of time, the ground can no longer absorb the water. This is particularly the case when the heavy rainfall follows a long period of hot weather with no precipitation. Even the smallest streams can quickly turn into frightening rivers that sweep everything away, causing great damage to people and the environment. Recent events in the greater Valencia area in 2024 [...]
[...]Ruggell, Liechtenstein Due to ever increasing surface sealing high amounts of rain water occur suddenly and flow into the sewer system along with domestic wastewater. As the stormwater amounts which occur are very high therefore, the flow capacity must be regulated by means of stormwater tanks to relieve the sewer system. The municipality Ruggell therefore commissioned the engineering office Wenaweser+Partner Bauingenieure AG in Ruggell (Liechtenstein) to plan the stormwater tank "Kirche". Now as the stormwater tank has been erected the combined water (stormwater and domestic wastewater) [...]
[...]Hamburg, Germany On the way to Germany's largest sewage sludge incineration plant: HUBER supplies three HUBER Disc Dryer RotaDry® units for the extension of VERA Hamburg by HAMBURG WASSER. The extension will increase the capacity of the VERA incineration plant by approx. 50 percent. As a result of the extension, the annual throughput of sewage sludge at the plant will increase to about 76,000 tonnes dry matter, with further potential for expansion to 97,000 tonnes per year. Energy self-sufficient showcase sewage treatment plant Digester sludge has been treated thermally in an environmentally [...]
