Innovations and research

In this compact interview and blog post, Gottlieb Hupfer explains how he built up a successful family business in plant engineering as a young engineer and played a decisive role in shaping industrial water technology over four decades. An inspiring insight into innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainable water technology.

Practical laboratory and pilot plant tests form the basis for well-founded feasibility studies in industrial water and wastewater treatment.
In our pilot plant, we test the treatability of wastewater, develop suitable processes and validate process parameters under real conditions.

As part of his master's thesis in the Environmental Protection course at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences, David Bandlow worked on a current and practical topic from the field of industrial wastewater treatment at ALMAWATECH:
"Optimizing the generation of fine air bubbles in dissolved air flotation"

An article about our new, patented process for combined Fenton precipitation at neutral pH was published in Water Research. The study shows how micropollutants and organic loads can be removed efficiently and without lowering the pH - with great potential for water reuse. Worth reading for anyone involved in modern wastewater technology, trace substance elimination and oxidation processes!

The sustainable and efficient treatment of wastewater and sewage sludge is one of the biggest challenges facing municipal wastewater treatment plants today. With our new ZUMISPEK research project, we are taking an innovative approach to both optimizing phosphorus recovery and increasing the energy yield in wastewater treatment plants.

We are delighted to welcome Ms. Laura Loreth to ALMAWATECH! She is writing her master's thesis with us and is working on a highly relevant topic: the further development of control technology for load-proportional dosing of operating materials in wastewater treatment plants.
