Key Activities, Particulary in the Field of Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater Disposal
- Abatement of odour and corrosion in sewer systems
- Treatment of combined sewer overflow (CSO); integrated management of sewage system and wastewater treatment plants
- Reconstruction of sewage sytems
- Development of wastewater disposal schemes for rural areas (decentralised / centralised) considering new science-based knowledge
- Storm water management (infiltration, utilisation of rainwater)
- Ecological Sanitation, decentralised wastewater treatment
Wastewater Treatment
- Optimisation of WWTP operation and processes (e.g. bulking-sludge problems, optimisation of precipitation, coagulation, flocculation, improvement of sludge treatment (sewage sludge disintegration), reduction of wastewater charges)
- Energy use at WWTPs, optimisation of energy use
- Benchmarking and key figures
- Advanced wastewater treatment like filtration, biofiltration, wastewater disinfection
- Abatement of odour and corrosion at WWTPs
- Assessment and optimisation of wastewater ponds and wetlands
- Checkup of small sewage works according to requirements of the new guideline EN 12566-3
- Treatment of industrial wastewater (especially food industry, paper industry)
Drinking Water
- Operating of water supply networks with relation to infrastructural caused alterations
- Investigations about pipe flushing for maintenance of water supply networks
- Energy optimisation of water works
Water Pollution Control
- Near-natural measures to avoid diffuse substance input
- Modelling of water quality
