Fields of Work
The IQS has experience in different fields of work such as:
Working field I: processing of used lightweight packagings
waste delivery of a processing plant for used lightweight pacckagings
separator for automatical sorting of waste components at the belt tripper
near view of the separation procedure at the belt tripper
sampling for quality control of a separated valuable fraction
automatic sampling equipment before the processed material is baled
hand sampling from a processed valuable fraction of lightweight packagings during the bunker is discharged
sampling of bale for quality control of processed recycled lightweight packagings cans scrap from processing of recycled lightweight packagings
Data analysis, development of sampling models and rules for specific applications
- theory and methods of sampling, development of sampling models
- for any concrete object: calculation of a sampling plan that contains instructions regarding sample size (mass or volume), number of samples, allocation and arrangement of the samples, handling such as pretreatment and preparation for instrumental measurement, evaluation of data obtained,risk assessment, decision rules for input and output controlling of industrial production
- development and testing of equipments, devices and methods for sampling and sample splitting
- characterization of mixtures and particle systems
- image analysis of granular mixtures, powder and porous materials
- evaluation of dangerous waste dumped over the years as well as contaminated sites using geostatistic modeling
- statistical evaluation of raw material, waste and recycling products, quality control cards
- risk assessment for different situations caused by the respective quality problem
- development of decision strategies regarding acceptance or rejection of products in dependence on the actual results of sampling and instrumental measuring
- microbiological remediation of mineral-oil-contaminated soils and their redevelopment
- supervision of temperature in waste heaps and waste dumps endangered by spontaneous combustion, prognosis of temperature trends in dependence on time, season, wether on other influence
- statistical evaluation of measuring uncertainties caused by the disposal of municipal solid waste
