Description

The focus here is on water research, for which we have a spacious pilot hall at our disposal with all the necessary facilities, amenities and flexibility. The space is designed in such a way that different pilot installations/zones can be set up at the same time.

The vegetable and potato processing industry consumes a great deal of water. We help companies innovate and use water more sustainably with a view to reusing process water and purified waste water. With an extensive storage system and pipe network (split into food and non-food grade), we can easily connect the process lines for vegetable and potato processing to the water hall. In addition, there are various water sources available to investigate the potential of alternative sources, and it is also possible to supply external water (wastewater, process water, spring water, etc.) and connect it to the existing installations.
