Further orders for HUBER UK containerised Sludge Thickening S-DISC

In the latter half of 2023 we received two more orders for the containerised S-DISC Sludge Thickeners. The containerised S-DISC is our UK designed sludge thickening package. It’s built into a modified shipping container and provides a complete turnkey sludge thickening solution that includes the sludge pumps, polymer dosing system and controls. We’ve now sold four containerised S-DISC’s to four different water companies and despite each water company having their own specifications and preferences we have managed to achieve a good degree of standardisation across all four.

Containerised S-DISC 1 – Anglian water
Containerised S-DISC 1 – Anglian water
Skid mounted S-DISC 2 – Anglian Water

The most recent order is for Severn Trent Water which follows on from an order received in September for Anglian Water.

In November, we displayed a containerised S-DISC at the Biosolids conference & exhibition in Manchester and had very good feedback from many water companies and their partners. We are in discussions with other water companies for other imminent projects so hopefully will be able to announce more orders in the near future.  Each containerised S-DISC has been fully assembled and tested ready for delivery to site as a plug & play solution.
