F
rom water to waste management,
IFAT 2024 Munich (May
13-17) offers visitors insights
and innovative solutions on
a wide range of topics in the field of
environmental technologies. From recycling
methods and digitization strategies
to material-flow management,
the focus is on opportunities and
challenges for industries, municipalities
and public authorities. In addition
to the more than 3,300 exhibitors in
18 halls, the program at IFAT is both
highly varied and highly specialized.
The Green Stage is the central point
for exhibitors, start-ups and cross-industry
topics. The Blue Stage focuses
on water,
sustainable and climateadapted
water management, water
reuse and energy-efficient wastewater
treatment plants. The Orange Stage
highlights circular economy and resource
efficiency, material-flow management,
as well as municipal technology
and waste management. The
Spotlight Areas focus on one topic:
plastics and battery recycling, hydrogen
in the circular economy or the
digitalization of water management.
The following is a small selection of
some of the products being exhibited
at IFAT Munich.
Total solids measurement
on primary sludge
The MicroPolar LB 566 measuring
system (photo) determines the total
solids content of sludge, which facilitates
the calculation and optimizes the
use of polymers and flocculants. During
further thickening of the sludge,
flocculants are added to the process,
which leads to optimized dewatering
grades. The LB 566 is a microwave
transmitter that measures reliably the
dry matter content and offers excellent
accuracy. Representative measurement
results are achieved due to
the fact that the entire material flow in
the pipeline is detected, even for large
pipeline diameters. Hall C1, Stand

Blowers and compressors for
water-treatment applications
The robust construction of TYR WT
rotary lobe blowers (photo) offers
Plastics recycling made easier
with this pellet mill
In addition to the production of substitute
fuels and wood pellets, the flat die
pellet mill Type 45-1000 (photo) also
processes large-volume plastic waste
into compact, dosable pellets, which
can then be fed into a chemical recycling
process. By recycling plastics in
line with the circular economy, companies
not only conserve fossil resources
but also reduce CO2 emissions. Used
textiles can also be prepared for recycling
by means of pelletization, and
used tires by means of granulation.
The company's plants also meet the increasing
demand for pelleted sewage
sludge. In the form of sewage sludge
pellets, this organic waste product can
be transported dust-free, safely and
cost-effectively to where it is needed.
Sewage sludge pellets are mainly
used for thermal recovery. Another
focus of interest is shifting to sewage
sludge and sewage sludge ash, parCHEMICAL

outstanding reliability and longevity,
which is important in the harsh environment
of the water and wastewater
sector. The TYR's constant air flow of
the blower ensures steady pressure,
which is essential for the aeration of
clarifying tanks. With integrated inlet
and outlet silencers that reduce noise
levels, the TYR WT ensures quiet operation.
Maintenance is limited to belt
tension inspection, filter and transmission
oil replacement. Also exhibited
are the MINK MM claw compressors,
which are designed for a wide range of
industrial applications with overpressure
of up to 2.0 bar(g), making them
suitable for aeration, filtering out sand
in the sand trap and biogas circulation
in wastewater treatment. Thanks
to dry and contact-free compression,
no oil is required in the compression
chamber, which reduces maintenance
intervals and thus operating costs.
The Aqua version of the MINK MM
has a special coating that prevents
corrosion. This is particularly useful in
humid environments. There are also
other versions that are ATEX certified
and can therefore be used safely in
potentially explosive areas. Hall B2,
