Product catalog summary
Overview of Sludge Treatment
Sewage sludge is a byproduct of wastewater treatment plants, with over 10 million tons produced annually in Europe. The disposal of sewage sludge is subject to varying regulations across countries, with some prohibiting landfilling due to environmental concerns. Alternatives include agricultural use, though this is controversial due to potential pollutants. Thermal treatment, including incineration, is gaining traction as it allows for energy recovery and phosphorus extraction.

Sludge Screening and Filtration
The STRAINPRESS® system offers continuous pressurized separation of foreign materials without the need for wash water, suitable for inline installation and made entirely of stainless steel.

Sludge Thickening
Several systems are available for sludge thickening, including the ROTAMAT® Disc Thickener and HUBER Drainbelt, which offer high throughput capacities, low energy consumption, and minimal operator attendance. These systems are designed to reduce water content, thus decreasing sludge volume and weight.

Sludge Dewatering
The HUBER Bogenpress and ROTAMAT® Screw Press systems provide efficient dewatering solutions with high throughput capacities and low energy consumption. These systems are versatile, suitable for various sludge types, and proven in numerous installations worldwide.

Sludge Drying
The HUBER Solar Active Dryer and HUBER Belt Dryer offer solutions for converting dewatered sludge into dry granulate. These systems are energy-efficient, with options for using exhaust heat, and are designed for continuous operation.

Thermal Sewage Sludge Utilisation
The HUBER sludge2energy system provides a decentralized approach to sludge utilization, focusing on energy self-sufficiency through drying and incineration. This system includes advanced flue gas cleaning and offers the potential for phosphorus recovery from ash.

Sludge Treatment-2

➤ Sludge treatment ➤ ➤ Sewage sludge is continuously generated on municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants during the process of organic pollutant degradation. In the past years, the annual volume of municipal sewage exceeded 10 million tons dry substance in Europe alone, and the trend continues upward. Due to the very different rates of connection in the individual countries, with e.g. a rate of virtually 100 % in the EU member states, and therefore regionally very different sewage sludge volumes it is only understandable that there are controversial approaches as regards sludge...
