Pilot plant for biomethanisation
Month: July 2023
10 years of Straubinger drainage and cleaning
Straubing’s municipal drainage and street cleaning service celebrates 10 years of SER and opens its pilot plant for biomethanisation with our new member MicroPyros.
Our doctoral student Christian Großhauser is conducting research on this innovative plant for the energy transition.
Professors Jürgen Pettrak and Martin Faulstich are supervising the doctoral thesis.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to plant manager Cristina Pop and managers Paolo Nardi, Gianfranco De Feo and Herbert Huber for the inspiring event and the research opportunities.
We wish them continued success.
7th doctoral seminar
Month: July 2023
From The 7th doctoral seminar with Prof. Dr. Martin Faulstich’s doctoral students took place from 17 to 18 July 2023. This time, the participants gathered at the premises of INZIN e. V.
The doctoral seminar offers participants the opportunity to present their current research status and receive valuable feedback from Prof. Dr. Martin Faulstich and other doctoral students.
Particularly noteworthy was the workshop on the second day, which was led by Dr Tetyana Müller-Lyaskovets from the w.space writing workshop at TU Dortmund University. Under the theme of ‘Academic Writing for Publication’, the workshop provided new food for thought and methods for academic writing in a lively and entertaining way.
The doctoral seminar was once again a great success and we are already looking forward to the next one!
Many thanks to Prof. Dr. Martin Faulstich and all participants for their dedicated participation and their contribution to the success of this event.

Vita
Christian Großhauser was born in Mallersdorf-Pfaffenberg in 1985 and has been a scholarship holder at the INZIN Institute since May 2023. As part of the scholarship, he conducts research on the topic of “Investigation and optimization of the methane formation rate in methanation reactors” on a pilot plant of MicroPyros BioEnerTec GmbH in Straubing. This is intended to make an important contribution to the green energy transition. Parallel to this research project, he continues to work as a project manager at Straubinger Energie- und Reststoffverwertungs GmbH (SER GmbH). There he works in the fields of wastewater treatment, (thermal) sewage sludge disposal, phosphorus recovery and energy generation from biogenic materials. He completed his degree in industrial engineering with a focus on mechanical engineering at Kempten University of Applied Sciences in 2015. Before making the switch to wastewater treatment, he gained years of experience in the automotive industry.
E-Waste World Conference & Expo 2023
Month: July 2023
E-Waste World Conference & Expo 2023
Our scholarship holder Jule Jeschonowski attended the E-Waste World Conference & Expo 2023 in Frankfurt on Friday. The trade fair offered a relatively small and informal setting, which meant that participants often bumped into each other several times.
The E-Waste World Conference & Expo 2023 is an important event for companies in the recycling sector, suppliers of key raw materials, electronics manufacturers and suppliers, and ITAD companies. The aim of the event is to showcase the latest innovations and solutions for a circular economy and sustainable supply chains. Topics such as collection strategies, circular electronics, raw materials, recycling design and sorting solutions will be covered. It will also address urban mining, IT asset disposal and the recycling of industrial, commercial and post-consumer electronic equipment.
Visual highlights included Braun, the only B2C manufacturer where visitors could assemble a razor from its individual parts, and the dinosaur made from circuit boards by Electrocycling GmbH.
Jule was able to make numerous contacts at the fair, and her doctoral thesis topic, ‘Ecodesign of Waste Electrical Equipment,’ met with great interest.
