The analysis of process-, circuit- and wastewater provides valuable information for the optimization of processes as well as in case of occurring problems.

Furthermore, the monitoring of measured parameters over a longer period of time provides important information for the ongoing application support or for monitoring/quality control during product use.

In addition to the standard analysis of process and waste water, we also deal with the following tasks:

ICP-OES analysis of heavy metals, alkali and alkaline earth metals
Photometric analysis of nutrients, cations and anions in aqueous media

Depending on the task, different analytical methods and equipment are used, the wide range of which requires the comprehensive expertise of our analytical team.

A wide range of microbiological testing methods completes our offer.

Here we were mainly concerned with identifying deposits and finding the causes of paper defects such as dirt spots, clumps, stains and tears/holes.

Identification (components, origin, cause) of deposits in the pulp and paper production cycles
Identification (components, origin, cause) of deposits Raw, semi-finished and finished materials
Identification of microbiologically caused deposits in circuits
Determination of bacterial count (total bacterial count, aerobic/anaerobic/sulfate reducers)

Comprehensive knowledge of the origin and causes of production problems provides our application specialists with a valuable basis for finding the optimum solution for you.

Microorganisms play a central role and provide detailed information about the condition of the system.

In particular, we support you with the following services:

Microscopic image to determine the cause of malfunctions
Application monitoring
Gene probe analyses for the identification of nitrifiers, methane bacteria and filamentous bacteria

The analysis results form the basis for our application specialists to develop targeted packages of measures in the event of malfunctions and problems.

Detailed knowledge of the current biological status provides valuable information for further optimization options.

With our method of online microscopy, you save valuable time when you need immediate support and additionally benefit from interactive know-how transfer:

You will need a microscope that is connected to a computer with internet connection
 You take the sample and prepare it for microscopy
 You connect via online meeting with our microbiology expert
 Direct live contact allows your sample to be assessed together and in real time
 In addition to saving time, you will benefit from the interactive know-how transfer with our specialist
 If immediate measures appear to be necessary on the basis of the sample assessment, these can be discussed immediately

Microorganisms play a central role in wastewater treatment. Regular examination of the activated sludge provides detailed information on the functionality of the wastewater treatment plant and can give valuable indications for optimization possibilities.
The trainings take place directly at a wastewater treatment plant. You analyse the sample you have brought with you on your own microscope under guidance and can take a concentrated load of expert knowledge back to your workplace:

Introduction to the practice at the microscope
 Basics of the microbiological composition of activated sludge
 Determination of single and multicellular organisms
 Introduction to the determination of filamentous bacteria
 Analysis of the activated sludge samples brought by the participants
 Interpretation of the results
 Discussion of possible measures derived from the results of microscopy
