Chemical and Microbiological Analyses

Sophisticated instrumentation for the examination of samples is operated by experts from the Chemical Engineering Group of the Fluid Dynamics Department and Biotechnology Department at HZDR, enabling in-house tests on wastewater and off-gas composition. This measurement equipment can be connected to reactors and pilot plants to study:
- Chemical and microbiological characterization for process performance analyses
- Biological decontamination processes (biosorption, bioleaching, bioflotation)
- Development of bioreactors for resource recovery
We conduct such analyses in the well-equipped chemical and microbiological laboratories, fitted with biofilm reactors, reactors with variable fillings and drip reactors as well as bioreactors connected to online off-gas sensors.
