Lecture Efficient Aerobic Wastewater Treatment – Green Stage IFAT
In water and wastewater treatment, several process steps are applied. In combination they merge to a complete plant. One distinguishes between physical, physical/chemical and biological processes. The biological stage represents the heart of the plant. Here carbon and nitrogen compounds are biologically decomposed. The basis for this process is the effective mixing and the efficent transfer of oxygen, so that the biologically active bacteria can work effectively.
The HYPERCLASSIC®-Mixing and Aeration System was developed and optimized specifically for the tough application in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment plants. It provides efficient oxygen transfer and optimal mixing during the biological stage.
Learn more about the INVENT HYPERCLASSIC®-Mixing and Aeration System! We invite you to the lecture by our expert Jackie Lauer, Regional Manager at INVENT Environmental Technologies, Inc., at IFAT 2024.

IFAT is always an exciting challenge for INVENT – be it during preparation, realization, or on the days of the exhibition itself. Everyone at INVENT is enthusiastic to provide our visitors with a unique experience. Without question, the INVENT Sales Partners are an indispensable part of the exhibition week. In this interview, sales partner Mara Henao (EQUIMAR) shares her own stories about IFAT.
Is IFAT more than an exhibition?
Yes! It’s where every two years we have the opportunity to reunite with friends, colleagues, and customers.
Is there a question that visitors always ask you? Is there a standard answer to this question?
Do you sell diffusers?
Of course, it’s a frequently asked question since our booth showcases plenty of aeration systems. However, our response is, we don’t sell diffusers individually; rather, we offer complete aeration systems. This approach ensures we can deliver on what we promise to our customers.
What do you expect from IFAT 2024?
As always, new technology for our Country. Unfortunately, Mexico is currently experiencing a historic drought, and water stress across the entire country is increasing. Therefore, finding new technology that can help with the reuse of wastewater would be a win for us.

IFAT is always an exciting challenge for INVENT – be it during preparation, realization, or on the days of the exhibition itself. Everyone at INVENT is enthusiastic to provide our visitors with a unique experience. In this interview series, INVENT employees share their own stories about IFAT. Today, it’s Nadine Klämpfl (Technical Sales)´s turn.
Could you tell us more about yourself and your role at INVENT?
I’m Nadine Klämpfl, a sales engineer at INVENT in Erlangen. I take care of clients from various regions such as Austria, Switzerland, Israel, as well as parts of Latin America and Southeast Asia. I am supporting clients with all inquiries regarding our product range, from technical clarification, layout and design, to commercial quotations. However, I see myself primarily as a partner, focused on finding the most efficient and simple solution tailored to each unique case.
What was your funniest/most moving moment at IFAT?
I’ve been to quite a few IFATs by now, but it always moves me to see people passionate about a product. Although IFAT is always a stressful time, I always enjoy it!
A few years ago, I saw quite a crowd gathered around the HYPERCLASSIC®-Mixing and Aeration System and wondered what was going on. When I approached, I found a colleague and a visitor both lying on the ground, looking beneath the hyperboloid mixer body , discussing some detail. This effort didn’t just make me laugh!
Is there a question that visitors always ask you? Is there a standard answer to this question?
“How much does it cost?” is a question we hear frequently, and understandably so. People naturally want to compare prices. However, providing a standard response to this question is tricky. Our systems are more than just mixers or aerators; they are tailored solutions designed to efficiently and cost-effectively fulfill their respective tasks, ensuring stable processes and safe operation. Each case is different and it’s essential for us to consider the individual requirements to offer the most suitable solution. This ensures that customers know exactly what they’re getting for their money and can compare realistically,.
What should all visitors to the INVENT booth definitely see?
While I hope visitors take the time to explore our booth and get inspired by our systems for their everyday needs, if I had to highlight one thing, it would be our HYPERCLASSIC® model basin. My colleagues and I are eager to share or fascination for the remarkable functionality of the hyperboloid mixing and aeration principle, next to the large scale products themselves.

IFAT is always an exciting challenge for INVENT – be it during preparation, realization, or on the days of the exhibition itself. Everyone at INVENT is enthusiastic to provide our visitors with a unique experience. In this interview series, INVENT employees share their own stories about IFAT. Today, it´s Christopher Nowak and Laura Marsing (Sales Team Germany)´s turn.
Could you tell us more about yourselves and your roles at INVENT?
Christopher Nowak: Since 2012, I’ve been part of the Technical Sales team. My responsibilities have been in technical sales and field service for the German market. I serve as the contact person for municipal facilities/associations, plant constructors, industrial plants and engineering offices.
Laura Marsing: I’ve been a sales engineer at INVENT for 4 years. Together with Christopher, I handle all customers in Germany and their various tasks and challenges. From the initial contact and inquiry to technical clarification, to providing the right offer and addressing commercial concerns, we assist the customers and work together to find solutions.
Christopher, what is your first association with IFAT that comes to mind?
Christopher Nowak: A professional and personal adventure – you meet many familiar faces and make interesting new contacts. Every now and then this leads to surprising and amusing moments in personal conversations and accompanying events.
Laura, why do you believe an exhibition is so important?
Laura Marsing: I transitioned to the sales department right at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, customer visits weren’t possible. It worked well temporarily, but it can never replace personal contact. Trade shows are important for getting in touch and exchanging ideas, whether it’s with existing or potential customers. They can see the products in a full scale and have the opportunity to ask the questions that are currently on their minds.
Which product do you like presenting to visitors at the INVENT booth the most?
Christopher Nowak: I think it is remarkable that every product from the INVENT portfolio is set up in life size at the exhibition stand. Every customer or interested party can inspect and explore the functions and details on-site. What I find most exciting is the opportunity to compare all membrane aeration systems (fine, medium, coarse bubble) both in dry mounted condition at the booth and in operation in our transparent exhibition basins filled with clean water. Bubble pattern, start-up and shut-down behavior, as well as an MBBR process, can’t be observed and tested live anywhere else.
Laura Marsing: I enjoy presenting our flow accelerator, the CYBERFLOW®. We designed this strictly based on fluid dynamics principles and optimized it with numerical simulations. As a result, we have developed a revolutionary, holistic concept. For an energy-efficient, reliable product, it’s not just the propeller design that plays a central role, but the entire product must be considered. Every component and detail contributes significantly to a fluid dynamically optimized overall product. I’m happy to explain these backgrounds with the exhibition piece.
