CPG Project: Energy and material-efficient production of large structural titanium parts using titanium investment casting)

AMB manufactures plants and machines for the waste and waste disposal industry. The company designed a mechanical biological plant for the treatment of residual waste using wet fermentation and subsequent wet air oxidation. This was erected on a landfill site in a demonstration project. (s. CPG Project: Use of wet fermentation and wet oxidation in a mechanical biological treatment plant (MBT))

Aucos is a provider of automation engineering services, guidance systems and control technologies. As part of a demonstration project, the company took responsibility for the planning and design of the control management processes of the overall system (incl. path-time charts) and the implementation and documentation of the control units. (s. CPG Project: Resource eficient Zn/Ni electroplating process)

Böhringer Ingelheim microParts GmbH, a subsidiary of Böhringer Ingelheim, manufactures inhalers consisting of microstructured pumps and nozzles at their Dortmund site. These microstructured nozzles were used in a project to demonstrate a new process of dry gluing fibreboards, and the patent applied for under the title of “Spray nozzle for an aerosol container” (No. DE10343672A1). The nozzles create a very fine mist which settles on the surface of small particles in a most effective and economical way. (s. CPG Project: Dry gluing as an environmentally friendly procedure for the production of fibreboard)

Tognum subsidiary CFC Solutions GmbH in Ottobrunn (Bavaria) manufactures high-temperature fuel cells for use in co-generation and tri-generation. The company specialises in molten carbonate fuel cells. Fuel cells of this type (hot module) were used in a pilot project in a local biogas plant in Leonberg. (s. CPG Project: Use of a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) in a municipal biogas facility)

COVENTYA develops and supplies engineered chemicals for use in electroplating and surface technology, and in water treatment processes. As part of a demonstration project, COVENTYA supplied the application chemicals and the zinc-nickel membrane system (PERFORMA 285 PMS) used in a barrel plating unit. (s. CPG Project: Resource eficient Zn/Ni electroplating process)

Dipl. Ing. Herwig GmbH is a supplier of degreasing agents, fluxes, inhibitors, zinc alloys, and zinc purifiers mainly for use in the hot-dip galvanizing industry. The company developed a flux recycling system (Fluxomat) and the “Hegaflux Ferrokill” flux, which were used in a demonstration project as environmentally friendly components of flux treatment. (s. CPG Project: Reduction of zinc consumption in the hot-dip galvanizing process)

Enthone develops, produces and sells decorative surface coating processes. As part of a demonstration project, an Enthone product (ANKOR Wetting Agent FF) was used as a PFT-free wetting agent in a plastics electroplating facility. (s. CPG Project: Use of Cr6+ free electrolytes for the chrome plating of high-quality automotive parts)

Fischer Verutec is an engineering services provider in the field of process and environmental engineering. The company developed the systems technology needed to reduce the amount of spent process solutions and to treat the process water in a demonstration project for an electroplating subcontractor. (s. CPG Project: A new preparation process for the extension of the holding time of acidic zinc electrolyte and hydrochloric acid cleaning as well as process water circulation management in electroplating)
