Service
The Chair of Urban Water Systems Engineering provides services for the industry, medium-sized enterprises and public authorities in the following fields:
Analytical Laboratory
- Analysis of nutrients and trace elements
- Water chemistry and physical analysis
- Determination of organic carbon
- New analytical methods for quantification of organic trace compounds (target screening)
- Suspected target screening/effect-based analytic
- Chemical fingerprints (sources – effects – process optimizations)
- Microplastics in the environment and technical systems
Microbiological Laboratory
- Identification and quantification of pathogens and antibiotic resistances
- Reference stocks of fungi and bacteria
- Molecular description of microbiologic communities to characterize system-relevant processes (energy and nutrient metabolism; corrosion; degradation of trace compounds)
The laboratory equipment is described on the following page.
- Process validation in lab and pilot-scale
- Material, equipment and process examinations
- Sampling of groundwater, runoff and wastewater
- Development of treatment devices for roof and traffic area runoff
