Germany – Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) – Laborgeräte: LC-MS, GC-MS, IC

Subject of the contract are the supply, assembly, installation and commissioning of the three analytical instruments as separate lots: 1. Liquid Chromatograph (LC), 2. Gas Chromatograph (GC) and 3. Ion Chromatograph (IC), as well as training in the operation of the equipment (training). Project background The Clausthaler Umwelttechnik Research Centre is procuring the three aforementioned devices as one of the 5 innovative centres of the TU Clausthal within the framework of a research project funded by federal funds (BMBF). Project description: The overall objective of the project is to demonstrate a legally compliant and at the same time low-emission phosphorus recovery on a wastewater treatment plant on an industrial scale. In addition, the process to be developed also makes a special contribution to the circular economy by recycling other substances. With the help of modern analytical methods, a deeper process knowledge is to be developed in order to improve the transferability of the process to other wastewater treatment plants. Furthermore, analytics will be used in the future to determine often unknown, toxic or poorly degradable trace substances, which can be present in the fg/l to µg/l range, in accordance with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
