Water Industry
A good drop
Water is not just a habitat, but also a foodstuff and an energy carrier. Europe is committed to sustainable protection of waters – good water quality no longer ends at national borders.
Increasingly, Saxony-Anhalt’s water management operators and wastewater disposal firms are focusing on clean water using the intelligent management of canal networks, pumping stations, rainwater reservoirs and sewage purification plants. Thanks to innovative applications of Industry 4.0 concepts, the digital transformation succeeds here. They are supported by the Institut für Automation und Kommunikation (ifak), which develops web-based platforms, application tools and business models within the framework of cooperative research projects.
Mobile water power
The members of the joint venture flussstrom.de are also pursuing new paths. They are developing and testing mobile modules that continuously extract energy from flowing water. As a result, small water power plants are being created in efficient series production that can be transported easily to the point of use.
Loser Chemie specialises in environmentally friendly chemical products used to treat wastewater. The company, which has a branch in Tangermünde, specialises in water-intensive branches of industry such as the paper, textile and leather industries.
