$$# Mechanical Wastewater Treatment

Screens for any application
Mechanical treatment is indispensable
as the rst process step of preliminary
treatment for both municipal and
industrial wastewater applications.
Initially coarse material has to
be removed in order to protect
subsequent treatment stages against
damage/pollution or to relieve them.
The goal is usually to completely
separate oating, settling and
suspended material, dependent upon
the bar spacing or perforation, and
remove the material from the ow into
a container.
Coarse screen
Based on the ROTAMAT principle

of screening washing transport
dewatering within one unit a complete
ROTAMAT family was developed
and then successfully launched
within the worldwide wastewater
treatment market. In recent years the
STEP SCREEN family and now the
MAX family have been added to
complement the range. The HUBER
screening range therefore comprises of
a range of screen systems and enables
us to offer the perfect solution for
Fine screen
Perforated plate screen
# any site specic installation

conditions
# any ow rate
# any bar spacing

A further application for these units is
river and sea outfalls which frequently
only have coarse mechanical screening
installed but feel it will increasingly
become more common and important
to reduce the COD/BOD concentration
of the wastewater discharged into the
receiving water course. These new
ne screens within a single process
step can remove undegradable
toilet and plastic particles along with
organic material contained within
the wastewater. By application of
this new technology a high degree
of environmental protection can
therefore be achieved at a reasonable
cost. For further improvement of the
screens efciency precipitants and
coagulants can be added which have
the effect that dissolved and very ne
particles contained in the wastewater
are converted into separable particles
to enable the lterable solids to be
reduced by up to 95%, COD/BOD by
65% and phosphorus by 60%. With
many regions within the world with
no wastewater treatment plants, or
insufcient wastewater treatment
plants, ne screening can be a rst and
quick step in the right direction.
The development of ner

screens opens up new elds of
application
The development of very ne screens
for separation of ner particles
opens up new elds of application
in wastewater treatment. For the
recently introduced new type of
membrane bioreactors within the
market an improved performance is
required to ensure reliable separation
of hairs and brous material to allow
the membrane process to function
effectively.

$$# Screenings Treatment

and press type a weight and volume
reduction of up to 80 % can be
achieved.
Screenings are normally produced

by screens in waste treatment
plants (wastewater treatment
plants, pumping stations, etc.) and
predominantly consist of material
similar to domestic waste, faeces,
paper and mineral materials.
The weight reduction reduces the

screenings disposal volume and has
thus a direct impact on screenings
disposal costs.
The screenings volume produced is

dependent upon the separation size
of the screen, the sewer system and
the preceding pumping stations. The
water content of municipal screenings
varies between 75 % and 90 %,
depending upon the type of screen
used whilst the organics contained
within the screenings amount on
average to approx. 90 % of the dry
residue [DR]. Due to the very high
water content, the very heterogenous
composition and unanesthetic
appearance screenings must be
pretreated prior to disposal. The best
pretreatment systems are screenings
wash presses that wash out faeces and
suspended organic material through
addition of wash water and mechanical
energy.
Unwashed screenings
As a result, a BOD5 load increase of

up to 6 % at the inlet to the biological
treatment stage can be expected. After
washing, the screenings are compacted
to achieve a signicant reduction of
the water content within the washed
screenings and due to the washout of
faeces screenings dewatering is often
signicantly improved. Dependent
upon the selected washing process

$$# Grit Separation

For the reason of operating reliability
of wastewater treatment plants it is
necessary to separate the grit transported with the wastewater and other
mineral materials (approx. 60 l / 1000
m3 of wastewater) from the digestible
organic material.
Due to the signicant organics content

within the classied grit longitudinal
grit traps they are today additionally
aerated to at least partly avoid the
settling of organic material within
the grit trap and will cause oating
material (grease) to rise to the surface.
According to Kalbskopf, aerated grit
traps are generally laid out on the basis
of the residence time of wastewater
within the grit trap. However, even
aerated grit traps are unable to ensure
reliable separation of grit from organics and this can only be achieved and
guaranteed by well performing grit
washing plants.
Grit separation from wastewater can

prevent operational problems, such as
grit sedimentation (in aeration tanks
and digestors), increased wear of
equipment (pumps or stirrers), blockages (hoppers or pipelines) along with
wear reduction of mechanical equipment (e.g. a centrifuge, etc.).
The aim for the system is to separate
as much as possible of the grit and
inorganic material up to 0.20 mm grain
diameter whilst at the same time separate the mineral and organic particles
within the grit trap.
The grit separating systems utilised
today are divided into longitudinal
grit traps, circular grit traps and vortex grit traps, dependent upon their
design and process layout, and each
will separate the grit either by gravity
(longitudinal grit traps) or centrifugal
force (circular and vortex grit traps). For
longitudinal grit removal scrapers or
screw conveyors are frequently utilised
with solids removal in the subsequent
course of the process by a pump, grit
classier or integrated grit classifying
screw.

$$# Grit Treatment

reduces both the disposal costs whilst
providing a secondary raw material as
a by product which can be reused and
recycled.
Grit and mineral material from

wastewater treatment plants or sewer
and road cleaning is very variable
and can either be more or less
contaminated with organic particles
or other foreign matter similar to
domestic waste. Such contamination
within the heterogeneous mixture
results in a relatively low dry substance
content [DR], ranging between 40 %
and 70 %, and in a relatively high loss
on ignition [GV] in the range of 10-80
%. The purpose of a well performing
grit treatment system is removal of
grit up to 0.20 mm grain size and
subsequent separation of the valuable
recyclable grit and mineral fraction
from the contamination material. The
end product of grit treatment should
be regarded as a valuable product with
a low loss on ignition (< 3 %) and a
high DR (> 90 %). Grit treatment thus
As the composition of the polluted

grit to be treated can be vary greatly,
depending on its source of production,
the decision on which is the best suited
treatment system is the deciding factor
at the concept planning of a treatment
plant.
Treatment of grit from

wastewater treatment plants
If the grit to be treated is material from
the grit trap of a wastewater treatment
plant, the best worldwide proven
solution is the HUBER Grit Washing
Plant. The HUBER Grit Washing Plant
ensures that the organics within the
grit are washed out to such a degree
that the treated grit has a loss on
ignition of below 3 %, which allows
low-cost grit disposal or direct reuse of
the resultant grit.
Many countries meanwhile also
have legislation in place that denes
the requirements for washed grit.
In practice however, not only the
effective separation of organic and
mineral material is decisive, but also
the retention of ne grit. The HUBER
Grit Washing Plant takes this fact into
account.
24
Treatment of grit from sewers

and road refuse
If the external supply and treatment

of the wash water required for grit
treatment cannot be provided, an
additional wash water treatment
unit can be offered as an option for
recycling of the water necessary.
Grit from sewers or road pits or

road refuse requires individually
designed grit treatment systems.
Depending on the system capacity,
input material composition, requested
material output, etc., the treatment
technology has to be tailored to meet
these specic requirements such as
the following main process steps:
acceptance tank, foreign matter
separation, wash drum for preclassication, grit washing plant for
separation of organic material.
On the basis of its wealth of worldwide

experience in developing complete
grit treatment systems, HUBER is able
to provide a tailored concept for each
individual grit treatment project.

maximum possible solids retention,
each plant is individually tailored to
optimally suit site specic hydraulic and
constructional conditions. With its vast
reference list HUBER has attained the
experience and knowledge to handle
any application and situation that may
arise throughout the world.
Advanced combined and stormwater

treatment in municipal combined
sewers is a main issue with regard
to sustainable environmental and
water protection. The building of
new wastewater treatment plants
and the upgrading or refurbishing
continuous wastewater discharges
has signicantly increased the quality
of many watercourses. Despite all of
these efforts however, there are still
ecological problems caused by oating
and coarse material discharged from
the sewer system into the waters in a
stormwater overow discharge event
in both a combined and separated
sewer system. For the purpose of
specic environmental protection
appropriate measures will have to
be taken in future to minimise these
problems.
Cleaning of stormwater
retention tanks
To maintain the performance of
stormwater storage basins, sewers
or sewers with storage capacity and
overow, it is necessary to provide
suitable cleaning systems in order for
these facilities to, eliminate odours
caused by biogas production and
prevent biological activity of the mainly
organic substances in the sediment of
the sewer or tank bottom which could
become an increasing health risk.
Combined water screening

HUBER screening plants prevent
the oating and/or coarse material
passing from the sewer system into
watercourses. The HUBER systems
available differ in their type of
screening elements (bar screen or
perforated plate) and their installation
position that can be on or behind the
The most efcient, reliable and costeffective cleaning method available

is sewer ushing. The HUBER Tipping

in combination with a screen. In
addition to the high economic benet
achieved by reduced investment
costs for storage structures the
environmental burden can signicantly
be minimised by using a screening
plant whilst the operational behaviour
of storage structures is also gaining
in importance. Measuring devices
are therefore required at overow
sills for accurate measurement of the
screened combined water overow.
The combination of measuring
equipment with a screening plant had
been previously impossible but is now
no longer a problem with the Huber
system available which is a favourably
priced and efcient solution for any
application.
An innovative sewer ushing system

with patented gates has been
developed for sewers, and sewers
with storage capacity and overow.

is the economical and intelligent

the background that investment and

$$# Sludge Treatment

The main waste within a municipal
wastewater treatment plant is the
sewage sludge that is produced by
mechanical, biological and chemical
wastewater treatment. The sewage
sludge volume produced is dependent
upon the treatment systems utilised
and on how many households are
connected to the treatment plant.
This gure will differ dependent upon
the country and even the difference
between urban and rural areas.
Recently it has been noted that this

particular disposal route is not as safe
as has been assumed for a long time
as even when disposal to agricultural
land takes place within the limits of
legislation, accumulation of heavy
metals in the soil can be observed.
Additionally, sewage sludge contains
various endocrine substances, the
content of which differs and the
spreading of sewage sludge onto
agricultural land will lead to serious
loading of the soil with endocrine
substances.
The amount of sludge produced

further depends upon the composition
of the wastewater to be treated and
the applicable treatment systems and
of course their performance.
As the new legislation requires a

maximum loss on ignition of 5%
for residues, landlling of untreated
sewage sludge will no longer be
possible. If the dried sewage sludge
is incinerated, then the produced
energy can be utilised for drying, as
the thermal value of the dried sludge is
similar to that of brown coal.
It can be assessed at approx. 20

45 kg DS per year, according to the
individual country.
There are several sludge properties that
are signicant for the sludge treatment
costs. The water content plays an
important role as it determines the
sludge quality and thus the applicable
transport facilities required and
associated disposal costs along with
the dry residue which varies depending
upon the type of sludge and the sludge
treatment method applicable.
HUBER offers the complete program of

sludge treatment equipment.
Screening Thickening
Dewatering Drying
From One Source
The chemical composition of the

sludge is also dependent upon the
wastewater quality and treatment
method. Of particular importance is
the heavy metal content as this will be
a limiting factor for land application of
sludge or recultivation.

$$# Sedimentation
Equipment for preliminary and secondary sedimentation tanks
The inow into the preliminary
clarication tank consists of a
sludge/water mixture from the grit trap
where the coarse sludge and mineral
solids are separated by sedimentation.
As the wastewater treatment plant
efuent quality must meet the Waste
Water Levy Act standards, as much as
possible of the oating and settling
material should be removed from
the activated sludge / water mixture
within the secondary clarication
tank. Peak load operation is critical
under storm conditions and when the
sludge blanket and hydraulic load are
increasing, there is a risk of sludge
overow. This most certainly must be
prevented from occurring as the limit
values will be signicantly exceeded
in most cases. The inlet conditions
of a secondary sedimentation tank
will be and are a determining factor
for the internal tank conditions.
An inappropriate inlet design
may compound and cause several
problems that can lead to high inlet
concentrations of lterable material.
A major problem is the high inow
energy within centrally fed tanks that
leads to high internal ows and thus to
a reduced separation efciency of the
entire tank. It is possible to signicantly
reduce the inow energy by feeding
the tank over the full circumference

as with the HUBER Opti-Flow
System. A further determining
factor for optimal sedimentation tank
operation will be the uniform claried
water discharge over the full tank
circumference, which can be achieved
with the HUBER Submerged Pipe.
A channel is theoretically only able to
meet these requirements as it implies
that no installation inaccuracies occur,
the water level remains unaffected
by wind and no structure subsidence
takes place. However the discharge of
claried water will have already been
inuenced even if only one of these
conditions are not met. This means
that in a channel, in worst case, the
claried water will be discharged only
on one side whilst no water at all is
discharged on the opposite side. If this
occurs, the ow in the circular tank
will be impaired to such a degree that
only approx. 50 % of the tank volume
is still being utilised for sedimentation,
leading to hydraulic tank overload
which will in turn result in a poor
settling performance and sludge
overow.

The HUBER Scum Scraper consists

oating material from the tank surface.
means that all of the steps required of

a SBR system for biological wastewater
treatment takes place one after
the other within one tank and not
separate reaction tanks (preliminary
clarier, preceding denitrication tank,
aeration tank, secondary clarier). A
basic installation group is therefore
the claried water discharge that will
discharge the clear water into the
receiving watercourse both during and
after the sedimentation process. The
HUBER SBR Claried Water Discharge
KWA is a oating construction which
optimally utilises sedimentation time.
Premature sludge draw-off reliability is
assured through weighted valves at all
times during the SBR process.
As the system is oating, it will be selfadjusting to suit varying water levels.

The complete system can be retrotted
into new or existing circular tanks with
scraper bridges, or into rectangular
tanks.
Claried water discharge for
SBR systems
The SBR system is a variant of
the activated-sludge process. The
difference when compared to a
conventional wastewater treatment
plant is that the individual process
steps take place in a chronological
order rather than a cascade. This

it to exit by gravity. Due to the increase
in requirements of the efuent quality
of wastewater treatment plants both
for direct and indirect discharge the
operators of municipal and industrial
plants are forced to implement
additional treatment steps to ensure
the required efuent standards
are met. Sandlters are a solution
to achieving the desired efuent
standards within various applications.
The CONTIFLOW Sandlter is an

upow lter with a lter bed, which
is being cleaned continuously making
shutdowns for backwashing of the
lter bed unnecessary. The feed is
introduced at the top of the lter
and ows downward through an
opening between the feed pipe and
airlift housing. The feed is introduced
into the bed through a series of feed
radials that are open at the bottom.
As the inuent ows upward through
the moving sand bed, the solids are
retained within the lter sand and
ltrate exits via a weir at the top of the
lter. Simultaneously, the sand bed,
along with the accumulated solids, is
drawn downward into the airlift pipe,
which is located within the centre of
the lter. The typically used lter bed
height for municipal applications will
be 1 metre (2 metres for phosphorus
removal / denitrication) and
dependent upon the plant size, the
lter tank will be of a steel or concrete
basin design. As the sand falls through
the washer, which consists of several
concentric stages, a small amount of
ltered water passes upward, washing
away the dirt, while allowing the
heavier, coarser sand to fall through
to the bed. By the setting of the reject
weir at a lower level than the ltrate
weir, a steady stream of wash water is
ensured. The continuous reject water
exits near the top of the lter to enable

sludge overow that occur with normal

sedimentation systems are no longer
an issue with ltration along with
existing structures being able to be
retrotted and the associated capacity
increased. Existing preliminary and
secondary clarication tanks can be
modied and further used as storage
and stand-by tanks.
The clarication process on municipal

and industrial plants has been
associated with large surface area
requirements, big structures, odour
containment and poor degradation
and retention efciency in case of
varying loads. This results in a heavy
environmental burden in the form
of emissions and impairment of
nature, high building costs and plant
maintenance costs. The utilisation
of VRM and VUM systems allow
for size reduction of the structures
required by a factor of up to 70 % and
will even increase the performance
of wastewater treatment plants.

Furthermore, the efuent quality of

such plants complies with all present

Vacuum Upstream Membrane

VUM The stationary
ultraltration system
VacuumRotationMembrane
VRM The rotating
ultraltration system
The characteristic feature of the VUM

technology is the VUM module
installed within the bioreactor (aeration
tank). The VUM module consists of
several vertically arranged stationary
membrane plates. Each of the
membranes have the effect of very ne
lters with 0.04 m pore size through
which the wastewater is sucked and
discharged.
The VRM system is presently the only

available membrane system that does
not use stationary membranes but
utilise trapezoidal membrane plates
installed around a stationary hollow
shaft with a central cleaning system.
The advantage of this design is its
very efcient and exible cleaning
concept with only one individual
membrane segment being highintensity cleaned at a time, which
consequently demands only a
minimum energy requirement. The
reduced space requirements achieved
by the rotation-symmetrical installation
of the membrane plates is unequalled
by other plate systems. A further
advantage with the VRM system is
that a 3 mm screen is sufcient as a
preliminary treatment stage.
Air is introduced below the VUM

module and streams upwards between
the vertically installed plates. The
resultant generated upow removes
any covering layers that are respectively
produced by the ltration process and
prevents the production of further
covering layers. Membrane bioreactors
with VUM technology allow costefcient high-performance wastewater
treatment, and are also utilised within
the HUBER MembraneClearBox
systems for small wastewater
treatment plants.
The VRM system combines the

advantages of plate systems
(preliminary clarication, no problems
with tressing, efcient membrane
cleaning) with the advantages of
hollow bre systems (with reduced
space requirements) and as such
provides a solution that is ideally suited
for a vast range of applications.

$$# Decentralised Wastewater Treatment

Responsible, modern wastewater
treatment should be aimed at the protection of waters and the environment.
For this reason, domestic wastewater is
collected in sewer systems and treated
within a central wastewater treatment
plant. Frequently, however, it can be
ecologically and economically more
sensible to treat the wastewater as
close to its source as possible and without the need to build extensive and
often expensive sewer systems. The
wastewater problem is as we know
a worldwide problem and solutions
frequently need to be easy and quick
to implement, affordable and adaptable to allow for tailored solutions to
be offered. Decentralised wastewater
treatment systems are therefore a
requirement and necessity in most

cases. When Huber started with its
new products for decentralised wastewater treatment, Huber focused on the
innovative membrane technology and
developed two different systems, the
VRM and VUM. In both systems the
membrane reliably retains all solids and
bacteria along with virtually all germs
as the diameter of the membrane openings is 1,500 times smaller than the
diameter of a human hair. This therefore allows for the treated water to be
reused with the ltrate meeting the EU
standards for bathing water quality.
For decentralised wastewater treatment in rural areas HUBER have
developed the HUBER MembraneClearBox, which is a small wastewater
treatment plant for up to 150 PE. The
plant can be supplied as a retrot or
as an installation set that can easily be
installed into both existing tanks or
newly built multi-compartment septic
tanks, or indeed any other technically
suitable tank. The addition of the optional Huber Teleservice minimises the
requirement for operator attendance.

$$# Advanced Wastewater Treatment

DeSa/R
according to its specic characteristics.
The purpose of such concepts is the
reuse of water and nutrients to as high
as possible degree without negative
effects on the population and the
environment.
DeSa/R, the abbreviation for

Decentralised Sanitation and Reuse,
relates to the methods of decentralised
wastewater treatment that provide
for the reuse of wastewater treated in
a technical processes and/or reuse of
the nutrients contained within such
wastewater. With the continuous
population growth, huge amounts
of water required for the irrigation
of agricultural land and nally the
use of common fertiliser resources
all demand a new way of thinking
in terms of wastewater treatment.
Exceptional circumstances required
special solutions that have to be not
only affordable but easy and quick
to implement. After disinfection,
mechanically treated nutrientcontaining wastewater can for example
be utilised for irrigation purposes
without the need for any preceding
separation. However, DeSa/R concepts
frequently start right at the source, as
already common place within waste
management, with separate collection
of the different wastewater ows
produced in a household. Faeces from
urine and greywater are separated and
then collected separately (wastewater
from wash basins, showers, bathtubs,
washing machines, etc.) in order to
provide for the optimal treatment and
reuse of each individual material ow
The future begins with

ourselves ...
To be able to assess the acceptance,
applicability and benet of such
new concepts, Huber implemented
within its own new ofce building
special sanitary facilities for approx.
200 employees with the system
separating the yellow, brown and
greywater ows. After intermediate
storage the separated ows are each
directed to specic treatment facilities
where fertiliser, biogas, humus and
service water are produced. Also
available are solutions and products
for the treatment of loaded rainwater
to enable it to be suitable for

$$# Drinking Water Treatment

HUBERs commitment is not limited
to wastewater technology but also
includes drinking water treatment.
With its trademark SafeDrink Huber
focuses on the small to medium
decentralised plants (up to 5000 m3/h)
for surface water treatment or partial
desalination in arid areas. The plants
are designed and developed by HUBER
from engineering to commissioning by
means of conventional techniques such
as membrane technology.
1. Coarse preliminary treatment

within the inlet channel;
At the same time coagulant agents
are added in order to allow colloids
(such as humic or particulate
material) to settle.
2. The settleable material (ocks
and solids) settle within the
sedimentation tank. The sludge
produced is removed by a belt
scraper and deposited into a sludge
lagoon.
For example within the scope of this

activity HUBER delivered in 2002 two
conventional plants into the Sudan.
The two identical drinking water
treatment plants were installed in
the cities of Dongola and Eldebba
for which HUBER engineers had to
consider specic local conditions that
were reected within the selected
process technology.
3. Solids that do not settle within the

sedimentation tank are ltered in
a continuous sandlter. Owing to
a fully automatic principle these
fast lters can be operated with
minimum maintenance. The wash
water is then returned into the
above mentioned sludge lagoon.
4. The ltrate passes a chlorine
gas disinfection stage where
microorganisms and pathogenic
germs are eliminated.
The project demanded the recovery of

drinking water from the river Nile for
70,000 people.
5. The treated water is stored within a

storage tank.
The treated water had to meet the

WHO standards and furthermore, a
simple and reliable technology was an
absolute prerequisite for this project
due to the absence of technicians on
site.
6. The water is then pumped into

an elevated reservoir in order to
achieve the operating pressure
necessary.
The plant was designed for a nominal

ow of 3500 m3/d and consisted of the
following process steps:

$$# Solutions for Industrial Wastewater

There is no mountain too high for us
to climb: We consider wastewater,
process water and sludge generated
by the various industrial sectors as
opportunities for successful HUBER
Technology installations. So what is
industrial wastewater? It is any sort
of wastewater that is produced in the
course of industrial production and
processing. Cooling water produced in
the cooling towers of power plants is
usually discharged into rivers without
prior treatment (with the result of river
water warming). Industrial wastewater
frequently contains difcult to
decompose organic substances, oils,
grease, heavy metals, salts, toxins or
caustic substances. Particularly high
loads are contained in wastewater
from the chemical, textile and food
industries. The wastewater produced
requires pre-treatment prior to being
discharged into public wastewater
treatment plants. If industrial
wastewater is to be discharged directly

into surface waters, multi-stage
treatment of the water is required.
It is therefore becoming increasingly
important for us to be able to offer
our customers complete solutions.
Simply supplying chemical, physical
and biological treatment equipment
for wastewater and process water
would not be sufcient if in the end
the customer is left with an unresolved
sludge issue.
Hans Huber AG is one of only a
handful of suppliers worldwide
who are able to supply not only the
equipment for wastewater and process
water treatment but also sludge
treatment technology including sludge
drying.
Our customers will experience the
professionalism when working with
their assigned individual HUBER
specialists, with each able to select

from a large variety of different

treatment technologies choosing
the most efcient and economic
solution for each individual customer
and application. This we feel is of
great benet to our customers when
compared to working with a company
only able to offer part of the solution.
Industrial wastewater is different from
municipal wastewater and individual
industrial sectors need individual
solutions. HUBER had always been
aware of this fact and because of
this established the special Industrial
Business Unit.
Whenever you need innovative,

commercial and practicable solutions
to solve your problem with industrial

$$# Stainless Steel Equipment

make the decision to standardise
on this material. It should be noted
that the material requires very
special equipment for its mechanical
treatment as well as the expertise and
know how on how to process the
stainless steel properly. As potable
water is our most important resource
and should be available to all, HUBER
considers it particularly important to
offer innovative treatment techniques
within this eld.
HUBER stainless steel products are

regarded as the best solution for water
and wastewater treatment applications
municipal and industrial. So, why
not choose a material that satises the
highest requirements.
# Unrivalled asset life
# Maximum corrosion protection
through acid treatment within a
pickling bath
# Standardised products provide ease
of planning and associated cost
advantages.
Drinking water must be free of

pathogenic germs, potable and pure
and these conditions can only be
fullled where the entire process
of water recovery, treatment and
distribution complies with the most up
to date standards. Since many plants
do not now meet these standards
and are therefore a risk to us and
our environment, it is all the more
important to identify and eliminate
damage, deciencies and weak points
as early in the process as possible.
# High level hygienic conditions

provide safety for the population
and the environment.
It is our goal to offer the highest
standard products to our customers
and hence why we feel it necessary
to utilise correspondingly modern
technologies for their production.
Production of the products is
undertaken by well-trained, highly
motivated employees working in
combination with the most modern
up to date machinery. To ensure
continuously high quality for our
customers, our company pursues
the philosophy of a high vertical
integration in production. As our
company philosophy is to excel in the
eld of manufacture of products in
stainless steel this has lead us to
HUBER have developed treatment

systems particularly for the water
supply sector which ensure that the
resultant drinking water quality is
hygienically perfect, for example the
air lter plant. Due to the permanently
varying water level in drinking water
reservoirs air is continuously sucked
in or blown out. In the course of this
process oxygen, nitrogen and other
68
particles contained in the air will

pass into the water chamber and the
resultant organisms like germs, spores,
pollen or fungi can lead to pollution of
the drinking water. The air lter plant
with integrated lters for ne particles
and suspended matter within the cover
will remove such organisms from the
air within the water chamber.
The HUBER product range includes

of course additional products
manufactured in stainless steel that will
meet the most up to date standards
for all elds as the material stainless
steel allows for all possibilities to be
catered for. Combined with its careful
and professional pretreatment of
the stainless steel products they will
guarantee for an unsurpassed asset life
with optimal equipment performance.
