Press releases

Researchers of Fraunhofer IGB together with GUTec mbh have succeeded in filtering carcinogenic substances out of industrial waste water with bio-adsorbers using bran. It reduces the amount of arsenic and HCH in water to well below the statutory limit values.

The Fraunhofer IGB has developed a high-rate process for the digestion of sewage sludge. In the Heidelberg municipal sewage plant, it was integrated into the existing disposal line a year ago. The balance to date: The Heidelberg municipal sewage plant today can save costs, gain energy and at the same time has to dispose of less remaining organics.
