[...]The first step of operationally reliable and efficient wastewater treatment The separation of solids in wastewater with screens and fine screening systems is the first step in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. The main task here is to remove all coarse and foreign materials that could inhibit or hinder the function of subsequent wastewater treatment stages. The following factors, among others, must be taken into account when planning an operationally reliable solids separation solution: Maximum required hydraulic throughput Expected screenings quantities Required bar spacing or [...]
[...]Mechanical Sludge Treatment Screening, thickening, and dewatering of sludge for impurities removal and volume reduction to reduce transport costs. Solutions for Mechanical Sludge Treatment Sewage Sludge Acceptance Efficient removal of solids and rags from imported municipal sludge prior to thickening or dewatering. Sludge Screening Sludge screening is used to remove coarse material, solids, and rags and increases the operational reliability of subsequent sludge treatment. Sludge Thickening With mechanical sludge thickening processes, the volume of conditioned thin sludge can be significantly [...]
[...]Heiligenblut, Austria The Heiligenblut wastewater treatment plant, which has a capacity of 8,250 PE, was built at the foot of the Großglockner, Austria's highest mountain, in 1986. It treats the wastewater of the entire municipality of Heiligenblut (at an altitude of 1,288 m), including Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-Höhe, which is the highest point of the Grossglockner High Alpine Road (at an altitude of 2,369 m). The sewage treatment plant is located next to the Mölltal federal road in the village of Rojach, at an altitude of 1,098 meters. The challenge: limited installation space and high requirements The [...]
[...]Bielefeld, Germany Stadtwerke Bielefeld GmbH are a modern multi-utility company.

[...]Eleven young people start their professional life at HUBER SE: the company welcomes ten apprentices and one dual student at the company headquarters in Berching. During an introductory event lasting several days, the young people get to know the company and the site and familiarise themselves with their new colleagues. Start of a new phase of life for eleven young people: HUBER welcomes ten apprentices and one dual student at the start of training in 2021. Six of the apprentices will start their careers in the industrial sector as precision mechanics, metal workers, mechatronics engineers[...]
[...]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 [...]
