INNOVATION - RESEARCH - DEVELOPMENT

In our striving for innovative solutions we always try to apply relevant findings of science and research in our projects. In close cooperation with various national and international research institutes as well as by our own research and development work we do not only try to realise the state of the art, but also to define it new. For special tasks state-of-the-art network and plant simulation software is available, which is not only used for design, but also for operational services, energy optimisations, and risk and capacity analyses. Continuous collection, evaluation, and application of the data provided by the plants designed and built by us guarantees determined improvement of services to the benefit of our clients

INNOVATIVE PROJECTS

• Introduction of the AB - process (wastewater treatment process with high load stage) in Austria. Seven further plants (three of them in China) apply this process.
