[...]STP Vorra , Germany STP Vorra chooses a HUBER RoDisc® Screen The trickling filter plant with separate secondary clarification tank on STP Vorra was built in 1982 and had to be redesigned in 2006 to meet ATV-DVWK A281 standards. It was necessary to build a new bigger secondary clarification tank with a volume of 350 m³. Taking into account the conditions on site (soil properties, high groundwater level) the costs for building this new clarifier (including sheet pile, unwatering, distribution structure, inlet/outlet line, secondary clarification tank) were estimated to amount to approximately € 525,000[...]
[...]Zell am See, Austria The Austrian municipalities Zell am See and Bruck an der Glocknerstraße operate a water supply facility together which is fed from a spring at 940 m above sea level. The minimum delivery of the spring is about 40 l/s. It lies in the Fuscher Valley near Salzburg in the Glockner mountain chain. The highest peak of the Glockner mountains and Austria's highest mountain is the Großglockner. Directly after the well shaft the drinking water flows through an inverted syphon through the valley bottom to the inlet structure where it is filtered by a HUBER RoDisc® screen. The RoDisc[...]

[...]Heating and cooling with wastewater as a regenerative energy source Buildings play an important role in the fight against the threat of climate change. Worldwide, real estate is one of the largest consumers of fossil fuels, which are used for heating and cooling, among other things. Rising living standards and the overall increase in population will cause consumption to rise further if we do not succeed in improving energy efficiency. In addition to the right choice of building materials and good thermal insulation, the most important thing is to choose the right system for heating and cooling[...]
[...]Ingelheim, Germany HUBER Active Carbon Filter CONTIFLOW® GAK: The quaternary treatment stage Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co.KG was founded by Albert Boehringer in Ingelheim on the Rhine in 1885. The company operates a central wastewater treatment plant on their research and development location in Biberach an der Riß (Baden-Württemberg). The treated wastewater is discharged directly to the receiving water course. As part of a research project investigating the reduction of trace substances and micropollutants, a partial flow of the wastewater generated daily is treated there. This partial[...]
[...]Braunschweig, Germany The "baby" solar dryer is back In 2012, HUBER SE manufactured a mobile solar dryer in a container for Expoval Sludge, a research project supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The dryer was extensively tested in cooperation with the Institute for Sanitary Engineering of the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany, in Poland and in Colombia. The results achieved with the dryer were summed up in a DWA work sheet on solar sludge drying. The baby solar dryer was recently taken out of the research project and overhauled. In autumn this year[...]
[...]Replacing the primary clarifier with a fine screen – HUBER CarbonWin® In the HUBER CarbonWin® process, the primary clarifier is replaced by a fine screen. This results in the following advantages: Only 1/10 of the space required compared to conventional primary clarifiers Minimized investment and operating costs Suitable to be integrated into existing plants The primary clarifier is the last stage of the mechanical pre-treatment of a wastewater treatment plant and works according to the anaerobic sludge stabilization process. In the primary settling tank, undissolved organic and inorganic substances[...]
[...]Plants for sludge treatment (e.g. HUBER Screw Press Q-PRESS ® , HUBER Disc Thickener S-Disc) or for pre- and secondary treatment of industrial and municipal wastewater (e.g. HUBER Flotation Plant HDF) are usually purchased in Germany. This involves prior planning, authorisation, construction of infrastructure and buildings, as well as permanent responsibility for the acquired plant technology. In addition, the process from idea to implementation often takes several years. Industrial plant operators, in particular, increasingly wish and demand to rent rather than permanently purchase machinery [...]
