RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Since the 1990s, BUSSE GmbH has been building up an efficient research team that pursues innovative development tasks in the field of technical-biological processes in environmental technology.
Close cooperation with the Federal Environment Agency, the German Federal Foundation for the Environment and universities and colleges has been established in numerous research and development projects, including:
Leibnitz Institute
for Surface Modification e.V.
Fraunhofer Institute
for Ceramic Technologies and Systems
Technical University
of Berlin
University
of Mittweida
Technical University
of Dresden
West Saxon University of Applied Sciences
in Zwickau
Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI)
Bremerhaven
The following research topics are currently being worked on:
Process development for decentralized complete wastewater treatment in the highest water purity classes
The resulting filtrate of the BusseMF membrane treatment plant is to be treated to “pure water” by means of a suitable physical process. With this stage of the process, it should be possible on the one hand to ensure every water purity class currently required by authorities worldwide for the discharge of treated wastewater from decentralized wastewater treatment plants, and on the other hand to achieve the re-use of treated wastewater as “water for human consumption”. In addition, the energetic options for energy recovery (use of waste heat) are to be converted into an applicable technical solution.
Utilization of wastewater and waste heat using innovative membrane technology
The aim is to develop a complete solution for the utilization of wastewater and its waste heat using innovative membrane technology and other cleaning processes. The recycled water will be used, for example, in the production of building materials. By creating multiple barriers, a drinking water supply from wastewater or heavily polluted surface water should also be possible. An example of this is deployment in disaster situations.
