This contribution about the demonstration plant BioCampus MultiPilot (BMP) in Straubing shows one of the steps the regional Bavarian public sector makes in supporting industrial biotechnology. Being public infrastructure BMP will provide food-grade facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, ready-to-use utilities, and process development services for development, demonstration, and scale-up of bioprocesses. Some of the features of the main apparatuses like 5-m<sup>3</sup> biomass digestion reactor, 20-L up to 25-m<sup>3</sup> bioreactors as well as solid-liquid separators, multipurpose vessels, falling film evaporator, and spray dryer are given.</p>","PeriodicalId":9912,"journal":{"name":"Chemie Ingenieur Technik","volume":"97 6","pages":"652-660"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144255850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To meet these standards, existing WWTPs must be modernized with additional treatment processes. Within the research project „HyFive”<sup>1)</sup> an innovative process combining a membrane bioreactor (MBR) and downstream ozonation is developed to eliminate organic micropollutants (OMPs) while increasing plant capacity. The objective is to assess the feasibility of the process based on its treatment performance and the ecotoxicological impacts when treating MBR filtrate with ozone. So far derived results indicate that when applying smaller ozone concentrations, 80 % of selected OMPs can be eliminated. Furthermore, ecotoxicological investigations demonstrated that the effluent of the downstream ozonation step poses no risk to receiving water bodies.</p>","PeriodicalId":9912,"journal":{"name":"Chemie Ingenieur Technik","volume":"97 7","pages":"677-688"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cite.202500040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
