Department: Bioenergy – High Solids Anaerobic Digestion
In the Department of Bioenergy – High Solids Anaerobic Digestion are bundled both the scientific and engineering competence for the innovative technological development, and the commercial realization of projects in the area of biogas generation and thermal biomass recovery.
Embedded in the interdisciplinary environment in the entire firm, we act as an independent engineering service-provider for all phases of the development of biogas projects - from concept development to commissioning and plant optimization. As a material basis for R&D, we have our own modern pilot plant available.
