But we start a step before that by contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions with new technologies, such as by building plants for drying and dewatering wastewater sludge. In addition, we use techniques for the effective use of renewable energies and develop environmental engineering concepts that are precisely suited to the respective operator and matched to the requirements.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1633592410800{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”tz_row_img_box”][vc_column_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”THE PROFESSIONALS IN THE UPPER PALATINATE” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”main_title” css=”.vc_custom_1645458011657{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

As a highly specialized waste management company for sewage sludge treatment, sewer and sump pit cleaning, separator service, small sewage treatment plants, de-sludging of water bodies, and plant engineering for the drying and dewatering of all types of wastewater sludge, we look back with pride on our company history, which is rich in tradition.
