Services
The LFKW supports municipalities, businesses and engineer firms with further services: from the establishment of tailor-made laboratory facilities and the rental of pumps, samplers and measurement equipment; to the rental of a complete pilot plant for wastewater, sludge, and air treatment including transportation, installation and start-up. An overview can be found below.
Selection of Rental Equipment for Experiments
- Submersible pumps with or without Comminutors
- Mohnopumps with transmission drives or variable-frequency drives
- Agitators
- Small compressors
- Frequency convertor for control of drives
- Cooling units for batch and continuous operation
- Electromagnetic flowmeters
- Automatic sampling devices (from simple instruments to thermostatic suction sampler.
- Oxygen meters
- Pressurized filter equipment for the determination of filterable substances
- Trusses, grating and stairs for placement and service of plant equipment on different levels
Further equipment and more details are available upon Request.
