Lignin for Sustainable Batteries

Sustainable Batteries Made From Wood Industry By-Products: In the ThüNaBsE (Thuringia Sodium-Ion Battery for Scalable Energy Storage) project, the researchers are developing and evaluating a new type of sodium-ion battery based on lignin — from raw materials to a 1-Ah full cell. The project aims to support increasing independence from critical raw materials while fostering the transition to cheaper, more sustainable and safe batteries. It is being supported by an industrial advisory board consisting primarily of regional companies, including the Thuringia-based companies Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH, …

Glatt @ Fi Europe 2025

Do you have poorly dissolving instant products that create dust and form lumps? Do the sensitive or volatile components of your functional ingredients lack stability in storage or have a disappointing release profile? Does your premix for vegan protein alternatives separate, resulting in an unsatisfactory texture? Glatt professionals for particle design and plant engineering will be exhibiting at booth 40C150.

nanoAR project start

Joint project “nanoAR” launched for new and robust anti-reflectivesolutions for the clean energy supply of the future. Glatt’s part in this project relates to the production of ultra-fine nanopowders with high purity and a narrow particle size distribution. Glatt powder synthesis will be used for this purpose. The powders produced will then be applied by the project partners as a mask to the surfaces to be anti-reflective coated.

GFC 16 – Continuous fluidized bed coating on pilot scale

The new overall concept for fully continuous coating – now also on a pilot scale – includes measures for optimum product treatment, uniform liquid distribution and gentle raw material feed and product discharge. The control system and instrumentation allow meaningful process monitoring. One application example is the coating of fertilizers with biopolymers in order to control the release of the ingredients in a targeted manner.

Glatt at ACHEMA 2024. Hall 3.0 Booth H4

ACHEMA 2024, Hall 3.0, Stand H4: Glatt presents a pilot coating module. Now: Fully continuous coating in all scales for non-pharmaceutical applications. The GFC 16 process module, which the market leader for fluidised bed and spouted bed technology will be showcasing at ACHEMA in Frankfurt, expands the performance spectrum of pilot systems at the Glatt Technology Centre in Weimar. One application example is the coating of fertilisers with biopolymers to specifically control the release of ingredients.

Glatt wins follow-up order for BioCampus MultiPilot in the port of Straubing-Sand

Straubing/Germany, December 2023 – Weimar based Glatt Ingenieurtechnik GmbH will be responsible for the Detail engineering and delivery of integrated process technology for the multipurpose BioCampus MultiPilot (BMP) demonstration facility in the port of Straubing-Sand. The flexible platform, to be used to scale-up and commercialise innovative biotech processes and sustainable products, will enable start-ups, research groups and industrial companies to further develop, test scale up and optimise their biotechnological processes to pre-industrial scale, validate their economic viability and produce material samples.

Safety concepts. Heat recovery. Environmental compatibility. Meet the Glatt experts at Powtech 2023. Booth 2-216
