HUBER UK’s Engineering & Operations Director Dave Thompson takes a look at what innovation can mean in practice in the water sector – and says it’s sometimes equally innovative to apply, reconfigure and adapt existing technologies to tackle new problems and challenges.

HUBER Technology have been involved with a large, high profile project with the @One Alliance to supply preliminary treatment equipment for a newly constructed inlet works and the addition of mechanical sludge thickening plant to accept sludge from the new Nereda activated sludge process at Anglian Water’s Great Dunmow Water Recycling Centre.
