MOL Catalyst, Groundwater Treatment Application, Report 2026

Catalytic water conditioning fundamentally altered the operational behavior of a 400,000 GPD groundwater
treatment system through establishment of a stable and sustained redox regime. The transition suppressed
iron/metal cycling and fouling-associated biological processes, reduced chemical demand, and improved
downstream advanced oxidation (AOP) performance. These improvements persisted over extended operation
and retention time, indicating a durable and cost-effective enhancement in overall system stability. further reading…

IPP and MOL Katalysatortechnik GmbH share the special prize of the Saxony-Anhalt Environmental Alliance.

Keep it cool:

To prevent the IPP stellarator Wendelstein 7-X from overheating, it is surrounded by a
cooling system in which cooling water transports the accumulated heat to the outside in a
sophisticated 10 km long pipe system. If the pipes are exposed to the natural forces of water, the
walls and weld seams can suffer serious damage: Deposits of microbiome, for example, corrosion, or
caviation, as the damage to the pipe walls caused by bursting bubbles is called. Further reading…
