Screens for any application
Bar screen

Mesh screen
Screening is indispensable as the first stepof municipal and industrial waste watertreatment. Debris must be removed in order to protectsubsequent treatment pro cesses fromclogging and/or damage. Floating, settlingand suspended solids are retained, depend-ing on the bar spacing or perforation dia-meter, removed and finally discharged. Based on the same ROTAMAT® principle“screening – washing – conveying –dewatering in a single unit” a family ofROTAMAT® screens has been developed andsuccessfully introduced in the global marketof wastewater treatment. In recent yearsthe STEP SCREEN® and later the MAX® andLIQUID families have been added. We offerthe perfect HUBER screen for:➤ any installation condition➤ any flow rate➤ any spacing or perforation size➤ any application

➤➤➤ Wastewater Screening
Ultra-fine screens for new applicationsOur development of extremely fine screensfor the separation of very fine particlespermits new wastewater treatment applica-tions for screens. For the new type of membrane bioreactorsincreasingly used for biological wastewatertreatment improved performance is required,especially for hollow fibre membranes, toensure reliable separation of hair andfibrous material to allow the process tofunction effectively.Another application for ultra-fine screens isriver and sea outfalls. Frequently, rawwastewater is only treated mechanicallyprior to being discharged to rivers or seas.Reduction of the COD/BOD loads from suchoutfalls is required for the protection of thereceiving water bodies if their self-cleaningcapacity is insufficient.These ultra-fine screens are able to removeundegradable and degradable, inorganic
and organic material at the same time.Improved environmental protection isachieved by application of this new tech-nology at reasonable costs. Chemical coagulation can temporarily beadded to maintain the screening efficiencyand high effluent quality even during peakloads. For many regions with insufficientwastewater treatment, if any at all, ultra-fine screening is a quick and affordable firststep in the right direction.CarbonWin® systemThe CarbonWin® system recovers carbonfrom pre-treated raw sewage in a minimumof space, comparable to the application of aprimary settlement tank. The high-performance and efficient HUBER finescreening technology makes it possible toproduce primary sludge and change theprocess on sewage treatment plants size5,000 to 50,000 PE from aerobic to anaerobicsludge stabilisation. This clears the way forsuch sewage treatment plants to produceenergy themselves and use the generatedenergy. The core part of the system is a finescreening unit. The screenings separated bythe fine screening unit are pre-thickened ina continuous thickener prior to being furtherthickened in a mechanical thickeningsystem for subsequent anaerobic treatment.

➤➤➤ Screenings Treatment The first step in wastewater treatment isnormally the removal of solids from thewastewater flow by means of screens. The removed screenings contain householdwaste, faecal matter, toilet paper and mineralsolids. The screenings volume depends on theseparation size of the screen. The solids content of municipal untreatedscreenings varies between 5 % and 20 %,depending on the type of screen.Approximately 90 % of the solids are volatile(organic). To reduce disposal costs and not to endangerthe operating staff on sewage treatmentplants through the formation of mould,screenings must be treated before they canbe disposed of. The best method ofscreenings treat ment is washing andcompaction with a wash press. Fecal matterand other organic materials are removed andreturned into the wastewater flow. The high
load of organic carbon contained within thewash water has a positive impact on the C/Nratio of the entire wastewater flow to the STP.Depending on the screen separation size andthe inflow situation of the sewage treatmentplant, the C/N ratio can be improved by up to6 % with the result of an also improveddenitrification performance with unfavourablenutrient ratios on the STP.After washing, the screenings are com pactedto reduce the water content and increase thesolids concentration. Dewatering is improved by the removal oforganic materials during washing. Dependingon the selected washing process and presstype a weight and volume reduction of up to80 % can be achieved. A wash press reduces the mass and volume ofthe screenings and con sequently the disposalcosts.

➤➤➤ Grit Separation
For reasons of operating reliability of waste-water treatment plants it is necessary toseparate the grit trans ported with thewastewater and other mineral materials (anaverage of 60 l from 1000 m3 of wastewateraccording to DWA Work Sheet M369) fromthe digestable organic material.Separation of grit, gravel and other mineralmatter is required to increase the reliabilityof wastewater treatment plant operation.Good grit separation prevents operationalproblems, such as grit sedimentation inaeration tanks and digestors, reduces wearof equipment, such as pumps or stirrers,and avoids clogging of sludge hoppers andsludge lines. Furthermore, wear ofmechanical equipment, such as centrifuges,can be reduced.While as much as possible of the mineralmatter should be removed, as much organicmatter as possible should remain in thewastewater. Testing of the grit capture rateis usually done with a grit particle size of 0.2 mm. The most common grit separating systemsin use are grit channels, circular grit trapsand vortex grit traps. Grit is either separated by gravity sedimen-tation (grit channels) or centrifugal force(circular and vortex grit traps). Scrapers orscrew con veyors are frequently used in gritchannels for grit collection. Pumps, inclinedscrew conveyors or integrated grit classify-ing screws are used for grit removal. Solidsremoval in the further course of the processis effected by pump, grit classifier orintegrated grit classifying screw.Due to the significant organics content inthe classified grit longitudinal grit traps aretoday additionally aerated to at least partlyavoid settling of organic material in the grit
trap and cause floating material (grease) torise to the surface where it is retained in agrease trap chamber. Special greaseseparation systems remove the greaseautomatically and pass it on to furtherutilisation.Grit channels are normally provided withaeration to prevent sedimentation ofvolatile solids and reduce the organiccontent in the grit. In addition, aerationhelps to float part of the fat, oil and greaseand retain it in a separate grease chamber.Special grease separation systems removethe grease automatically and pass it on tofurther utilisation.According to Kalbskopf, detention time is animportant factor in the design of aeratedgrit channels. Unaerated grit channels aredimensioned according to the surfaceoverflow rate. However, even the bestaerated grit channel cannot prevent highorganic contents in the removed grit slurry.Only a good grit washer can guaranteealmost complete separation of organicmaterial from grit and produce clean grit.

➤➤➤ Grit Treatment
Grit from grit traps of wastewater treatmentplants and grit from sewer and road clean-ing are heavily contaminated with organicmatter and debris. The high content oforganic material, the wide volatile solidsratio of 10 to 80 %, is the reason why suchgrit slurries do not dewater well. The solidsconcen tration remains somewhere between.The common performance criteria for thequality of grit removal are: The capture rateof 0.2 mm diameter grit particles; and thevolatile solids concentration of the removedgrit. The end product of excellent grittreatment is a reusable product with avolatile solids ratio of less than 3 % and awater content of below 10 %. Such grittreatment not only reduces the volume andmass of the removed grit, but also thedisposal costs. If the clean grit product isreused, e.g. for road bedding, costs for gritdisposal could be avoided.
Treatment of grit from wastewatertreatment plantsFor the treatment of grit from grit traps onwastewater treatment plants, HUBERCoanda grit washers have proven to be theunrivalled best option. HUBER grit washersachieve an outstanding grit product con -taining below 3 % volatile solids. It is so clean that cost-effective disposal and beneficial use iseasily possible, e.g. in civil engineeringworks. Regulations requiring certain grit qualitycriteria, depending on the kind of itsdisposal and/or reuse, are coming into effectin more and more countries. So far, HUBERCoanda grit washers have easily met allsuch requirements and will most likely do soin the future, because they have defined theindustry stan dards.

➤➤➤ Storm Water Treatment
An important part of our efforts to protectthe environment in general, and our waterresources in particular, is treatment ofstorm water and of overflows from com-bined sewer systems. The quality of manyrivers, lakes and seas has significantlyimproved following the upgrading of old andconstruction of new waste water treatmentplants. However, despite all these effortsand invest ment, there is still considerablepollu tion of our water bodies caused bycombined and sanitary sewer over flows(CSOs and SSOs) during storm events. For the purpose of specific environmentalprotection appropriate measures will haveto be taken in future to minimize theseproblems.
Screens for sewer overflowsHUBER screens are used to retain debrisand other coarse solids within the sewersystems and to prevent them fromoverflowing into receiving water bodiesduring storm events. We have a variety ofscreens suitable for application at seweroverflows. For such applications bar screensand perforated plate screens can beselected. We offer screens that are installedupstream of, on top, or down stream ofoverflow weirs.

Efficient removal of screeningsAs a result of climate change and theassociated heavier rainfalls with strongscreenings flushing in the combined sewer,the focus in the coming years must beplaced more strongly on screeningshandling. Especially in storm wateroverflows with unfavourable flow conditions,common system solutions without definedscreenings discharge can quickly reach theirlimits. The result is overflowing of thescreenings and discharge of screenings intothe nearby watercourse. In order to be able to work out a reliablesolution even for unfavourable hydraulicand structural conditions, the HUBERcombined water screening system can beequipped with a cross conveyor. The aim isto discharge the screenings in a defined wayfrom the overflow structure or to return

them to the combined sewer withoutcirculating the screenings. This is the onlyway to ensure that combined sewagescreening works satisfactorily even withhigh coarse material loads and to avoid thedischarge of unscreened sewage.
Storm water retention in sewer systemsAnother HUBER focus are intelligent andefficient systems for controlled storm waterretention in sewer systems. In order to saveinvestment and operating costs, it is essentialto utilize the existing sewer volumes moreeffectively for storm water retention bycontrolling the water levels within the system.In many cases, with such an intelligentapproach, construction of additionalretention tanks can be avoided. Pollution byunavoidable storm water overflows can beminimized by installation of storm screens.
Discharged flow volume measurementMonitoring the utilisation of storm waterretention tanks and of overflows becomesever more important to allow optimising theuse of retention volumes and minimizingoverflow occurance and flows. It is essentialto be able to measure discharged stormwater flows and volumes. In the past thishas not been possible where a storm screenwas installed. This is now possible with ourequipment.

➤➤➤ Heating and Cooling with Wastewater
Energy recovery from wastewaterRight below the ground, in sewers, is ahidden and seldom used source of energy:our wastewater. Generally the temperatureof sewage is in the range of 12 to 20 °C.Even during winter the wastewatertemperature never drops below 10 °C, oronly for a few days. This makes wastewateran excellent heat source for the operation ofheat pumps.
Utilisation of wastewater as a heat source isespecially suitable to be applied in largebuildings, such as nursing homes, hospitals,schools or swimming baths. It is alsopossible to recover heat from the effluent ofsewage treatment plants and use it e.g. forsludge drying.
As a link between the wastewater and heatpump, a heat exchanger is required to ex-tract the heat energy contained within thewastewater. The heat exchanger transfersthe thermal energy from the wastewater tothe heat pump. The innovative HUBERThermWin system which has beendeveloped especially for such applicationsuses the HUBER RoWin Heat Exchanger. The specific feature of this system is thatactual heat extraction from the wastewatertakes place above ground and not in thesewer. All system components are easilyaccessible and easy to maintain.
Functional principle of the HUBER ThermWin:A partial flow of the wastewater streamingthrough the sewer is passed through ascreen to remove the coarse material fromthe wastewater flow. Preceding screening ofthe wastewater is necessary to preventblocking of the heat exchanger. The pre-screened wastewater is lifted and flows bygravity through the above ground installedheat exchanger, the cooled wastewaterflows back to the sewer taking along theseparated screenings. Heating of thesecondary circuit, which is coupled with the heat pump, takes place inside the heatexchanger. The heat pump lifts the tem-perature to the requested level. For applications with contaminated mediathe HUBER Heat Exchanger RoWin can beused. This type of heat exchanger has beendeveloped especially for such applicationsand excels with its superior heat transfercapacity and automatic preventive cleaningof the heat exchanger surfaces. Up to 80 %of the useful heat can be recovered from thewastewater and utilized economically.

➤➤➤ Sludge Treatment
Sewage sludge is continuously generatedon municipal and industrial wastewatertreatment plants during the process oforganic pollutant degradation. In the pastyears, the annual volume of municipalsewage exceeded 10 million tons drysubstance in Europe alone, and the trendcontinues upward. Due to the very differentrates of connection in the individualcountries, with e.g. a rate of virtually 100 %in the EU member states, and thereforeregionally very different sewage sludgevolumes it is only understandable that thereare controversial approaches as regardssludge disposal ways.
In some countries, due to new legislationand eco-political consideration, somedisposal methods have been prohibited orat least restricted, such as landfilling ofsewage sludge. For many states therecovery of materials contained withinsewage sludge still plays an important role.This applies to both landscaping and sludgespreading on agricultural land.
The fertilization effect of sewage sludge and especially its phosphorus content isnormally sufficient to cover the nutrientsdemand of typical agricultural land. On the other hand, there are a lot of countrieswhere the agricultural application of sewagesludge is met with much scepticism due toits potential heavy metal pollution andcontent of organic pollutants, such as PFT. In these countries there has been a cleartrend towards concepts for thermal sewagesludge treatment for some years already,partly combined with the approach torecover the phosphorus contained withinsewage sludge. Against this political and
economic background it is understandablethat the sewage sludge disposal issue canbe discussed quite controversially. Even ifthere is no generally accepted concept forfuture sewage sludge disposal existingpresently, adequate sludge pre-treatment isrequired with all concepts described above.
A major pre-treatment step is to reduce thewater content of the sludge. Sewage sludgegenerated on wastewater treatment plantstypically shows a DS between 1 and 5%depending on where exactly it is generated.The average DS content of digested sludgeis 45 %. This means that one cubic metre ofdigested sewage sludge contains 950 l,which would permanently have to betransported without prior dewatering. The major benefits of dewatering and dryingare weight and volume reduction and theincreased thermal value.
Consequently, the process chain that allowsfor later thermal utilisation of dried sewagesludge comprises the steps of prior screen-ing, thickening and drying.

➤➤➤ Mechanical Sludge Treatment
Mechanical sludge treatment primarilycomprises the processes of sludgescreening, thickening and dewatering.
Sludge screeningSludge screening is a mechanical treatmentstage that primarily achieves homogenisa-tion and separation of foreign matter andensures therefore undisturbed furthertreatment of the sludge, irrespective of thesubsequent treatment methods applied.Operating problems, such as clogging ofpipelines, pumps, heat exchangers ordownstream filtration units, tressing onstirrers and aeration plants, scum in settlingand sludge tanks as well as damage indownstream drying units, can reliably beprevented by using HUBER sludge screens.
The STRAINPRESS® is a horizontal, pipe-shaped coarse material separator. Thecoarse material is separated continuouslyunder pressure and periodical cleaning ofthe screening zone by backwashing isthereby not required.
Sludge thickeningWith regard to economical further treatmentand disposal of sewage sludge, it isnecessary to reduce the sludge volumesproduced in the course of the wastewatertreatment process. The volume reduction isachieved by separation of parts of thesludge liquor at different points in thesludge treatment process chain. The mainfield of application of thickening systems isvolume reduction of primary and excesssludge prior to stabilisation. In addition tocommon sludge thickening systems, e.g.belt and drum thickeners, HUBER offers also
its optimized own developments, such asscrew and disc thickeners. The selection ofthe most suitable technology for individualapplications depends on project-specificparameters, such as throughput capacity oroperating and investment costs, but also onother criteria, such as operating reliability,flexibility and process complexity.
Sludge dewateringSludge produced in municipal and industrialwastewater treatment plants requiresdewatering prior to further treatment orutilisation. In view of increasing sludgedisposal costs it has become necessary toconcentrate the sludge to a high solidscontent. HUBER offers for this purposecommonly known systems for continuoussludge dewatering, e.g. belt filter presses,but has also developed a machine forsmaller and medium-sized wastewatertreatment plants, the HUBER Screw Press. It is this wide range of products combinedwith many years of experience that enablesHUBER to select the best suited technologyfor each individual application.

➤➤➤ Thermal Sewage Sludge Drying and Utilisation
Sewage sludge disposal is becoming anincreasing problem, landfilling was pro-hibited in 2005. Spreading sludge onagricultural land is in dispute and also itsuse for landscaping is no long-term solution. As all these methods cannot guarantee thereliable removal of contaminants from thematerial cycle, thermal utilisation remainsas best possible alternative.
Sewage sludge consists of more than 95%water that requires transport, disposal orfurther processing. If the water content isreduced to 10% or less, costs can be re-duced significantly. But a lot of energy isrequired for drying. The energy demand ofavailable drying systems varies, as well astheir operation and end product quality.Which system is suitable for the individualsewage treatment plant needs to be clari-fied for each specific case. HUBER has thesuitable drying method with optimal usageof energy for any application.
Solar sewage sludge drying
The basic principle is sewage sludge dryinginside a greenhouse. This solution allows forcontinuous system operation so that thesludge bed in the greenhouse remainsconstant. Due to the special features of thesludge turning assembly, particularly thebackmixing function, an open-pored andslightly wet sludge bed is generated thatcauses neither odour problems nor un-necessary dust loading.
The sludge is fed manually, with a wheelloader for example, or automatically bymeans of special conveying units, directly
from the dewatering system. The driedsludge can be stored in a ground deposit atthe end of the drying hall or mechanicallytransported directly to a loading station.
The HUBER Sludge Turner SOLSTICE® is theheart of the HUBER SRT drying system. Itconsists of a rotating double shovel which isused for two different motion sequences.The sludge turning function ensures mixing,breaking up, aeration and transport of thesludge. The second function is the transportof sludge in the turner shovel, i.e. thesludge turner takes up some sludge at adefined point and transports it inside itsshovel to another point. This ensures thatdry sludge is back-mixed into wet sludgeand sludge feeding and removal can takeplace at the same gable side of the hall.
The HUBER SRT system is not only suitablefor pure solar drying but also ideal to becombined with a high performance floorheating or hot air blower. Optimized withsuch a heating, the SRT system can be usedfor all year round, season-independent solarsewage sludge drying. This eliminates theneed for storage facilities for wet sludge andsaves the floor space required for solardrying without additional heating as solardrying alone is unable to dry wet sludgeduring winter.

➤➤➤ Flotation
Principle of flotation
The flotation process is suitable for variousapplications.
The flotation process is suitable for variousapplications.During dissolved air flotation, very fine gasbubbles of 40-80 μm are released, whichtogether with the particles present in thewastewater, form an agglomerate.This agglomerate has a lower density thanwater and rises to the water surface. Non-flotatable particles are separated via conicalselection chambers. The particle-free clearwater passes through an immersion walland is then available for further use. If atube flocculator is installed upstream of theflotation plant, so-called precipitants andflocculants can be added, which improvethe clarification performance accordingly.

HUBER stainless steel products are ideal for water and wastewater treatmentapplications – whether municipal orindustrial. It is the material complying with the strictest requirements:➤ Unparalelled life➤ Optimal corrosion protection after
passivation by pickling in an acid bath➤ Standardisation saves costs and
simplifies design ➤ Excellent hygienic characteristics for
health and safety
It is our objective to offer perfect productsto our customers. Our well-trained andhighly motivated employees manufactureour products in our state-of-the-art stainless-steel only factory to guarantee consistentlyhigh product quality. We have the philosophy that a high degreeof vertical manufacturing integration is inthe best interests of our customers. To prevent any cross-contamination of ourstainless steel products with carbon steelrust and dust, we use only stainless steel inour factory. Our machinery and manufactur-ing processes are specifically designed forthe material stainless steel. Every stainlesssteel product, before it leaves our factory, ispassivated by full sub mergence in an acid(pickling) bath for perfect surface finishingand corrosion protection.
Potable water is a most important re sourcethat should be available for all people insufficient quantity and quali ty. We offer thehighest quality pro ducts for the treatment ofdrinking water.Drinking water must be pure, i.e. clear andfree of pathogens, odour and colour. Tocomply with these require ments certainstandards have to be met during collection,treatment and distribution of the drinkingwater. Many waterworks, however, do not meetthese standards and are a danger to ourhealth and environment. It is important toidentify such risks as early as possible toprevent further damage.We have developed systems for water-works that prevent contamination ofdrinking water, such as special air filteringsystems.As the water level in drinking waterreservoirs changes, air is drawn in and out.If the air entering the reservoir containsparticles, micro-organisms like germs,spores, pollen or fungi, the drinking waterbecomes con taminated. Our air filtersystems, with integrated filter media, retaindust and other fine particles and thereforeprevent contamination and health hazards.
