About NERA
As climate-neutral as possible, chemical-free and waste-free treatment of wastewater containing heavy metals, creating material cycles for the precipitated heavy metals, phosphorus and water
Project Content
Reactor systems and process solutions are being developed, a demonstration plant built and tested in long-term operation at the Volkswagen plant in Braunschweig. The results of the investigations will be used to develop a forward-looking wastewater management concept.
Project Team
A total of five project partners from research and industry pool their competences in the NERA project
