Application and customization of our measurement techniques to your requirements

• Particle size distribution via endoscope technique,
• Rheology via rotational, capillary viscosimeter
• Power characteristics via torque measurement etc.

Feasibility studies

• e.g. membrane screenings for your separation problem (e.g. wastewater treatment)
• Development and testing of pilot membrane bioreactors

Lab scale and pilot scale tests

• Fabrication of instruments and devices in the desired scale
• Analyses of your relevant process parameters in our chemistry laboratory (ion chromatography, gas chromatography, HPLC etc.)

Simulation and optimization of fluid dynamics in chemical and process units

• Analysis of  weak spots with regard to fluid dynamics as well as heat and mass transfer in technical devices, e.g. stirred tanks and bubble columns
• Optimisation of design and operation with regard to fluid dynamics by using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)

Cooperations in the following research areas

• Drop size distributions in stirred liquid/liquid systems (extraction, bead polymerisation, emulsification)
• Transient mass transfer phenomena at moving single droplets (extraction, emulsification)
• Fluid dynamics in stirred tanks (evaluation of mixing processes)
• Standardization of mixing devices and experimental conditions
• Interaction between particles and turbulence (crystallisation, precipitation)
• Treatment of industrial wastewater
• Wastewater treatment in membrane bioreactors
• Biological phosphorus elimination in membrane bioreactors
• Membrane fouling
• Kinetics identification of biological processes

Holding of seminars

• VDI Wissenforum "Membranprozesse in der Prozessindustrie" (membrane processes in chemical industry)
• Haus der Technik „Membranverfahren in der industriellen und kommunalen Abwasserreinigung" (membrane processes in the treatment of industrial and domestic wastewater)
