Exciting projects

Reuse4Hos

Development and testing of a solar-powered membrane bioreactor plant for decentralized treatment of hospital wastewater using the example of Lubaga Hospital in Kampala/Uganda.

Our plant enables the decentralized treatment of about 10,000 liters of wastewater per day by combining a membrane bioreactor with activated carbon treatment.
