Current
Presently launching a project in collaboration with the University of Coventry.

Reduction of endocrine disrupting compounds and pharmaceutical substances
Reduction of endocrine disrupting compounds and pharmaceuticals with the USO 3 technology.
In cooperation with the technical University of Munich (TUM) the effect of the USO 3 on pharmaceuticals has been demonstrated using the example of Carbamazepine. The tests were conducted with a laboratory scale model as well as with a 1:1 scale unit on a sewage plant. The tests were accompanied by a diploma and a master thesis.
The USO 3 achieved very good reproducible results.
A large scale test in the US with a flow of 10m³/h also showed excellent results.

Ammonium reduction – Laboratory scale and 1:1 Scale - combination of ultrasound with MAP
The reduction of Ammonium with MAP flocculation in combination with ultrasound.
Following the already performed R&D efforts for the ammonium reduction Ultrasonic Systems GmbH is conducting ongoing tests on the effect of ultrasound on the MAP process.


Completed

Pig manure lagoons in the US
The treatment of pig manure to a degree that allows water re-use for flushing hog houses or for water pond storage. Being the only non-US technology, the USO 3 reached the short list of the final 8 technologies in the Evaluation of the Superior Technology.

Ammonium reduction – laboratory scale - combination of ultrasound with MAP
The reduction of Ammonium with MAP in combination with ultrasound.
The University of Aachen (RWTH Aachen) investigated the effect of ultrasound on the MAP process with a laboratory scale model of Ultrasonic Systems GmbH.
The results are very promising and encourage further investigations.

Ammonium reduction - technical scale (part of a EU LIFE grant program)
The reduction of the Ammonium load of the residual water after sludge dewatering with the reduction of phosphate beeing conducted in parallel. The technology set-up was based on the idea to convert Ammonium into Ammonia by using ultrasound and to outgas the Ammonia with small amounts of air.
