The core team of CLEWATEC works with the Institute of Fluid Dynamics at HZDR, whose departments have extensive experience using advanced measurement techniques to understand multiphase flows in different industrial applications, including wastewater treatment systems. Direct connections with scientists specialized in various subfields and complete access to in-house state-of-the-art experimental facilities provide the partners of CLEWATEC with valuable opportunities to optimize their processes through a better understanding of the multiphase flows involved.
