Experimental investigations in lab and pilot scale

For applied and industrial research in the sectors:

• chemical industry / petrochemistry
• waste water management
• biotechnology
• energy industry
• food technology
• pharmaceutical industry
• environmental technology

We provide the following services:

Application and adaptation of our measurement technology to your needs

• Particle size distribution by means of endoscope technology,
• Rheology by means of rotational viscometers,
• performance characteristics by means of torque measurement, etc.

Execution of feasibility studies

• e.g. in the field of wastewater treatment in the form of membrane screenings to solve separation problems (microfiltration to reverse osmosis)
• piloting of membrane plants

Preliminary tests in laboratory- pilot plant scale

• Fabrication of the appropriate apparatus and equipment on the desired scale
• Analyses of your relevant process parameters in our chemical laboratory (ion chromatography, gas chromatography, HPLC, etc.)

Cooperations in the following research fields

• Droplet size distributions in stirred liquid/liquid systems (extraction, bead polymerization, emulsification)
• Transient mass transfer processes on moving single droplets (extraction, emulsification)
• Fluid dynamics in stirred reactors (evaluation of mixing processes)
• Standardization of stirrers and experimental conditions
• Interaction between particles and turbulence (crystallization, precipitation)
• Purification of industrial wastewater
• Wastewater treatment in membrane bioreactor
• Biological phosphorus elimination in membrane bioreactor
• Fouling of membranes
• Determination of kinetics in biological processes
