  1. STRAINPRESS® Helps Fort Worth Turn A Liability Into An Asset 7/25/2018

    Scum is not a substance that anyone in a wastewater treatment plants wants to deal with. Scum, the greasy substance that floats to the surface of clarifiers, gets nastier as it accumulates. Some smaller wastewater treatment plants mix their scum back into other processing streams while other larger plants treat their scum separately. The City of Fort Worth takes a unique approach in managing its scum and now turns what was once a liability into an asset.

  2. Solving The Headworks Screening Challenge Of Fitting In Tight Spaces 6/22/2018

    Oostburg’s Black River Falls facility is a lean operation with limitations in space for screening technology and in the staff resources available to manage, maintain and report on the Village’s processes. Even though space was limited, Oostburg knew that putting a headworks screening solution in place would improve their operational efficiency. Oostburg found the perfect solution using the Huber Technology RoK4 confined space vertical screen.

  3. Cardston's Community Relationship Improves With Dewatering Technology Choice 12/21/2017

  4. Clearing Channels And Tanks Of Rag And Fiber Produces Benefits Beyond The Tanks 11/20/2017

    Reduction of ragging is merely one of the benefits the EscaMAX® Perforated Plate Screen bestows upon its implementer. But this is such a huge factor, that mitigating it brings night-and-day results in other areas such as reducing debris in the grit channel, increasing space for energy-producing biosolids in tanks, and releasing cleaner end products. 

  5. Remove Debris BEFORE It Hits Your Sludge Pump 7/27/2017

    The video shows how the Huber Technology STRAINPRESS® is designed to effectively remove debris from sludge without breaking line pressure. Sludge is pumped into the Strainpress’ perforated tube and flows through the perforations into a casing while debris is retained within the tube.

  6. Fats, Oils & Grease Are No Longer A Struggle at Napa Sanitation District 7/19/2017
