COMPANY<\/span>
\n<\/span>About hydrograv GmbH
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

hydrograv GmbH is an interdisciplinary spin-off company from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, formerly the University of Karlsruhe), Institute for Hydromechanics (IfH, Prof. Dr. Gerhard Jirka, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Rodi) and the Technical University of Dresden , Institute for residential and industrial water management (ISI, Prof. Dr. Peter Krebs). These institutions, international leaders in their disciplines, are root and at the same time commitment for our work on the optimisation of wastewater treatment plants. The two institutions have the intensive work on the development of simulation tools in common. hydrograv combines interdisciplinary advanced know-how in the field of flow optimisation with leading knowledge of modern technologies in the water management in a unique form.<\/p>\n
