laboratory as well as a technical laboratory for conducting experiments
at different scale. This technical laboratory includes a 35 °C and 20°C
heated room and a special laboratory for biofilter/bioscrubber
investigations. The main research fields are landfills including
leachate and gas control, anaerobic and aerobic treatment of different
kinds of waste, treatment of odorous resp. contaminated off-gases by
means of biofilter/bioscrubber, treatment of contaminated soil,
decentralised waste and waste water treatment, alternative biological
energy production. Projects that are carried out today include "long
term behaviour of landfills", "Aeration of landfills", "Development of
criteria for landfill closure", "Combined decentral treatment of waste
water and kitchen waste using membrane technology and anaerobic
treatment", "Odour management", "Biological hydrogen production". There
are more activities in international projects f.e. with Russia (Incocopernikus),
with Cuba (“Development of teaching and training modules for application
in environmental education in Cuba”) and Asia (Asialink) in order to
improve knowledge transfer and education in the field of solid waste.
