Task
The Schultheis pond in Offenbach has shown clear signs of eutrophication since 2005 due to an increase in the phosphorus concentration in the water. This has led to increased growth of blue-green algae and an impairment of the ecological balance.
As a countermeasure, the city of Offenbach planned the construction of a water treatment plant. Our responsibility lay in the construction of a containerized dissolved air flotation plant and the subsequent operational management, with the aim of reducing the phosphorus concentration in the Schultheis pond.
