ECOFARIO rebuilds stock preparation plant of HM paper technology laboratory

Go back

ECOFARIO originally developed their system to filter out microplastics from wastewater. Over the past few years of successfully testing their High-G separator, they have been able to gather a wide range of results from various applications - not just for filtering microplastics and the pollutants that adhere to them. From oil and fiber extraction to pollutant removal, their technology has achieved promising separation values in a variety of areas. Each approach to an application field has opened up new opportunities for them to further optimize the processes using ECOFARIO technology.

After extensive and very successful trials, they have now been able to sell their first plant to the paper industry. Pfleiderer Teisnach GmbH & Co KG has purchased a plant to significantly reduce fiber losses in their production process.

In addition to this milestone, ECOFARIO has just rebuilt the stock preparation plant of the paper technology laboratory at HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences in. It is now equipped with an ECOFARIO High-G separator, which can be used for both teaching and research purposes.
