Because every water drop counts.
From research to diamond electrodes
... and beyond!
At the end of the 1990s, the scientific employees and future founders of pro aqua, Dr. Wolfgang Staber, MBA and Dr. Michael Schelch, are working at the Institute for Sustainable Waste Management and Disposal Technology at the University of Leoben. Among other things, they deal with waste water treatment processes. In the course of literature research, they come across the topic of "waste water treatment with boron-doped diamond electrodes".
Scientifically structured work is the number one prerequisite for – in our case – technical innovation.
Dr. Wolfgang Staber, MBA
Following their scientific curiosity, boron-doped diamonds are increasingly becoming a research focus for the scientists. Based on the few laboratory experiments described in scientific literature, they need to work out all the fundamentals, especially when it comes to industrial application.
An exemplary application-oriented research and innovation process is launched.
Unbeknownst to them, they are laying the foundation stone for today's company ...
