[...]Innsbruck, Austria Innsbrucker Kommunalbetriebe AG (IKB) invest into a HUBER Belt Dryer BT 16. With its strategy “ from sewage works to power plant ”, IKB’s wastewater treatment plant Innsbruck sustainably produces energy and intelligently integrates it into its existing system. The aim is to further increase the efficiency of the complete sewage treatment works and make it one of the most modern plants in Europe. With its about 130,000 inhabitants, Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, is the fifth largest city of Austria and produces 50,000 m³ wastewater a day (peak: 145,000 m³) together with its 14 [...]

[...]One of our guiding principles is to take on our responsibility for the environment and see water, wastewater and energy as a whole. We therefore promote the sustainable use of energy by using innovative technologies. According to a study of the Frauenhofer Institut electric motors are responsible for about 40% of the total power consumption worldwide and about 70% of the power consumption in industries. The international standards IEC 60034-30 dealt with the energy consumption of rotating electric machines already before 2009. The modified DIN EN 60034-30-1 published in 2014 picks up these requirements[...]

[...]Berching, Germany Sewage sludge disposal is a key issue on sewage treatment works. Irrespective of the way of sludge utilization, sludge weight and volume are the main causes for high costs. State-of-the-art technology offers several dewatering options but most of these solutions disregard the rich energy potential of filtrate water. The wastewater heat exchanger HUBER RoWin utilises this energy potential. The primary goal of sewage sludge dewatering on wastewater treatment plants is to increase sludge solids contents. With the presently available state-of-the-art technology dry substance contents of [...]

[...]Central Hesse, Germany Mittelhessen University of Technology (THM) university of applied science intends to exploit a previously quite unknown potential with a new system: heating and cooling with energy from wastewater. The new plant, with the HUBER ThermWin system at its core, was commissioned at the end of May by THM's executive committee, Giessen's Mayor Frank Tilo Becher and Ayse Asar, State Secretary at the Hessian Ministry of Science and Art (HMWK). THM President Prof. Dr Willems: “previously untapped wealth” The plant is located at THM's Wiesenstraße campus. With canteens, numerous [...]

[...]Munich, Germany As part of Munich's Education Construction Initiative, Germany's largest municipal education construction programme, it was decided in 2020 to build a new daycare center with three nursery groups in the Freimann/Kleinlappen district. The chosen location was an undeveloped plot of land on Josef-Wirth-Weg. A special feature of the building site is a sewer that runs slightly elevated in a dam to the north of the property. This sewer is not just a simple collection channel, but one of the main inflows to Munich's Gut Großlappen sewage treatment plant. Sustainability was a guiding [...]

[...]Bremen, Germany A new future quarter for business, living, work, culture and leisure is currently being built in Bremen – with a sustainable energy supply from wastewater: Europe's once largest tobacco factory is being revitalised into the “Tobacco Quarter” building complex. The quarter has reinvented itself, turning an outdated industrial site into a prime example of urban development with its finger on the pulse of the times. It is one of the largest urban development areas in northern Germany. A new future quarter for business, living, work, culture and leisure is currently being built in Bremen[...]

[...]Witzenhausen, Germany A sewage treatment plant in Witzenhausen, a retirement home in Switzerland, and an office building in France – What do they have in common? The answer is: They all use eco-friendly, regenerative energy from wastewater during the next heating period. This demonstrates the wide range of applications the HUBER RoWin Heat Exchanger offers. In the shadow of the large order HUBER received from the Ministry of the Interior in Stuttgart it have been the smaller orders which show the wide field of application of the HUBER ThermWin® System. On WWTP Witzenhausen for example the energy[...]

[...]Vohburg and Kahla, Germany The topic of replacing a conventional primary clarifier with a mechanical screen has already been the subject of numerous publications. HUBER SE was the first company in Germany to take up this new challenge several years ago. The performance of the plants already installed, their reliable operation and the resulting energy savings in the operation of the wastewater treatment plants are already a success story, as the Vohburg and Kahla projects impressively demonstrate. Vohburg wastewater treatment plant: complete modernisation for energy performance optimisation[...]

[...]Elimination of Trace Substances Solutions for the elimination of trace substances and micro pollutants from wastewater Adsorption process with powdered activated carbon (PAC) Elimination and reduction of micropollutants from wastewater: Adsorptively removal of trace substances with powdered activated carbon, which is added to the wastewater and then separated again by means of a polishing filter (before the treated wastewater is added to the receiving water.) Adsorption process with granulated activated carbon (GAC) Elimination and reduction of micropollutants from wastewater: The removal of [...]

[...]Leibnitz, Austria Leibnitzerfeld Wasserversorgung GmbH has set itself the target to ensure the supraregional water supply in South and Southeast Styria. With an annual water production of about 3 million m³ and daily peaks of up to 15,000 m³ they supply the drinking water for 39 municipalities and three joint communities with a total of of 100,000 PE. In total, they operate 11 well system, 42 elevated reservoirs (of which 20 of their own with a capacity of 10,000 m³), 60 pressure increasing plants, and a network of 170 km transport lines and 139 km supply lines. Furthermore, they network with the [...]
