Material efficiency and recycling of solid and liquid resources as well as residual and valuable materials are the basis for sustainable development in Europe. We work together with you to develop economical solutions for your business.
The reduction of energy requirements and emissions, such as CO2, are important political climate issues that we want to achieve together with the process industry and plant engineering through new solutions.
The transfer of the concepts of industry 4.0 into the operational practice of the process industry is a concern for us. Innovative measuring and testing technology forms the basis in many areas.
We open up optimization potentials for operational individual processes and process chains and focus on resource efficiency, quality, productivity, profitability and environmental aspects.
We offer innovative ideas based on cutting-edge research which are translated into customized, operational solutions for the process industry. We see ourselves as a dynamic, customer-oriented and innovative partner for forward-looking innovative companies.
We strive for partnerships and projects in the following four fields which are of strategic importance for the BFI:
(1) Decarbonization and energy efficiency,
(2) Digitalization, Industry 4.0 and measurement technology,
(3) Circular economy,
(4) Process innovation and process optimization
