Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS
The business division "Environmental and Process Engineering" focuses on chemical, electrochemical and biological processes for low-emission and sustainable production as well as water, air and soil purification. A particular emphasis is placed on processes with closed material cycles and high energy efficiency as well as the techno-economic analysis of value chains.
Fraunhofer IKTS is one of the world's leading research institutions in the fields of PtX processes, circular carbon technologies and water treatment processes. Based on the use of ceramic materials, membranes, filters, adsorbents and catalysts for environmental and process engineering, processes are developed and integrated into system solutions.
In laboratory and pilot facilities, new process concepts are tested in fully automated continuous operation, and important measurement data are obtained to validate the flow chart-based models. With numerous laboratories, technology and application centers, the business division has an excellent infrastructure for realizing projects of all sizes and scales.
