Urban Water Engineering

at the Department of Urban Water Engineering under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Tobias Morck.

Within the scope of our research, we develop solutions for sustainable and future-oriented urban water management. In particular, our research focuses on the targeted further development of adapted technologies for the optimization of advanced wastewater treatment, the product-oriented linking of processes for the conversion to a cycle-based wastewater management and the use of mathematical models for the investigation of relevant treatment processes.
