[...]Bayreuth, Germany In a new sludge treatment plant in Bayreuth the sludge from 300,000 PE is dewatered and dried – fully automatically, with the use of exhaust heat and exhaust air treatment. The project is still in the construction phase. The new plant will process the generated sludge from 2016 on. From the dewatering system into the dryer The digester sludge with a DR content of between 2.5 and 3.5% is dewatered by two centrifuges and automatically transported into the solar dryer by screw conveyors.The dry residue is measured automatically by a probe so that polymer consumption can be optimized[...]
[...]Weißenberge, Germany Water is becoming an increasingly scarce resource, even in Germany. As climate change progresses, conflicts over water resources will continue to escalate, particularly in water-intensive agriculture. As part of the ‘HypoWave+’ project, a resource-efficient hydroponic system for water reuse in regional vegetable production was installed and scientifically monitored for the first time in Germany in 2024. Wastewater as a valuable resource for irrigation ’The special feature of the HypoWave system is that we obtain high-quality treated irrigation water from municipal [...]
[...]On 24th October Karl-Josef Huber was awarded the State Medal by the Bavarian State Ministry of economics, infrastructure, transport and technology for his outstanding achievements for the Bavarian economy. When Karl-Josef Huber took over the family business in 1968 together with his brother, the company counted 25 employees. Since that time it has continuously grown, meanwhile HUBER SE has become a firmly established global player in the field of water and wastewater technology.

[...]Isle of Man, Great Britain The first HUBER Belt Dryer BT installation in Great Britain went officially into operation recently. On the Isle of Man, up to 12,775 t sewage sludge per year will efficiently be dried from now on. HUBER received the order to build a belt dryer on the Isle of Man at the beginning of 2015. The customer wanted to reduce the energy expenditure for sludge drying and the resulting high disposal costs. The HUBER BT 16 achieves this most impressively. The sewage treatment plant of the town Douglas does not have any sludge digestion facilities. There is therefore no exhaust air [...]
[...]Berching, Germany HUBER Chemicals Dosing DIGIT-DOSE setting new standards for the efficient operation of flotation plants Industrial wastewater treatment cannot be imagined anymore without flotation technology. Flotation ensures that suspended matter, grease and particulate pollutants are effectively removed from production wastewater. If also dissolved pollutants need to be converted to particulate matter, precipitants and flocculants are added. Such additives can enormously increase cleaning efficiency, they are however also the major cost factor in the operating costs for a wastewater treatment[...]
