Dr.-Ing. Tobias Blach receives Willi Hager Prize 2024

2025/07/01 by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Markus Engelhart

At the 2025 Annual Conference of the Water Chemistry Society in Münster on 26 May 2025, Dr Tobias Blach was awarded the prestigious Willi Hager Prize, endowed with 6,000 euros, for his dissertation entitled ‘Aerobic and Electrochemical Treatment of Process Water from Hydrothermal Carbonisation of Sewage Sludge’. We are delighted to recognise Tobias Blach, who completed his doctorate at the Department of Wastewater Technology at the IWAR Institute at TU Darmstadt. His research work represents an important contribution to the assessment of the influences on the composition of process water from the hydrothermal carbonisation of sewage sludge and now makes it possible for the first time to better record key factors for the degradability of the ingredients.
