Institute for Sanitary Engineering, Water Quality and Solid Waste Management

The Institute for Sanitary Engineering, Water Quality and Solid Waste Management was already dealing in the Fifties with problems of water quality, water supply, wastewater disposal and solid waste disposal, long before the investigation of environmental problems was common.
Nowadays the institute is an interdisciplinary institution within the Faculty of Civil- and Environmental Engineering of the Universität Stuttgart and employs civil engineers, environmental engineers, biologists, chemists, process engineers, geologists and geographers.
The main objectives of the institute are teaching, research and the assistance of federal and state ministries and agencies, and of communities and industries in solving practical problems, for example by means of pilot plant experiments or by working out the basic data and concepts for the planning and design of plants.
The institute is headed by a directorate, comprising all professors. It is divided into three Chairs and subdivided into two Departments, seven Working Groups and the „Teaching and Research Sewage Treatment Plant"".
With its 120 staff members the institute is one of the largest of its kind in Europe.
