In the framework of the BMBF-funded RePhoR joint project AMPHORE, the construction and operation of the demonstration plant at the Bottrop wastewater treatment plant (EGLV) was approved by the responsible authority under immission control law.

The owner and operator of the plant is PhosRec Phosphor-Recycling GmbH, Bottrop, a company of the water associations Emschergenossenschaft, Lippeverband, Ruhrverband, Wupperverband and Linksniederrheinische Entwässerungs-Genossenschaft.

The plant implements the patented PARFORCE-Technology® of PARFORCE Engineering & Consulting GmbH, Freiberg, as a large-scale pilot plant. With PARFORCE-Technology®, the basic chemical phosphoric acid can be obtained from sewage sludge ashes.

The CFH Group is pleased to be significantly involved in this sustainability project with the PARFORCE-Technology Cooperation GmbH (PTC).

Further information can be found in the press release of the Ruhrverband.

When engineer Hermann Deichmann opened his technical office in Bebra, Hesse, in 1947, he could not have imagined what would one day emerge from it.

75 years later, Deichmann Filter Technik is one of the technology leaders in the field of industrial dust collection for a wide range of industries.

On the occasion of the company's 75th anniversary coming up this year, DFT's sales manager published an interesting article on the subject of air pollution control, which you can download here.

This summer, CFH Holding, together with its subsidiaries CFT and PTC, will move to its new headquarters in Marl!
The new location, with more than 7,500 m² of production space - including an innovative fan test stand - will be heated and cooled by a geothermal system and supplied with electricity from its own photovoltaic system.

Last Friday, our employees were able to get an impression of the current construction progress at an "open site day".
In the future, you can reach us at the following address:

With the latest new development of its subsidiary DFT Deichmann Filtertechnik, the CFH Group is taking another innovative leap in the field of industrial dedusting.

The Deichmann KJF compact filter with the new patented DELA cleaning system not only reduces costs for the customer, but also optimizes efficiency and filter results at the same time.

DELA stands for Decentralized, Energy efficient, Low-pressure and ATEX compliant. The system operates autonomously on site and does not require an external compressed air connection. DELA is the logical further development of the pressurized exhaust air cleaning system in dedusting plants.

More information can be found in the attached press article.

CFH Group and PARFORCE Engineering & Consulting GmbH are pleased to announce the launch of a joint subsidiary, PTC - PARFORCE-Technology Cooperation GmbH.

Together we engineer, build and operate industrial plants for the recovery of phosphorus from effluents containing phosphate such as sewage sludge ash according to the German Sewage Sludge Act (AbfKlärV).

By the end of 2023, operators of wastewater treatment plants must submit their concept to the authorities for implementing their phosphorus recovery obligation, which will apply from 01.01.2029.

In the EU, phosphorus is considered to be a critical raw material. The production of phosphoric acid from waste streams helps to preserve natural resources and support a recycling economy.

We are looking forward to upcoming joint projects to implement circular recovery!

We have just received a message of support from the Chinese province of Shanxi which is partnered with our home Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
 

"We are together in the fight against the coronavirus,"
says the video message that our Chinese friends sent.
 

The video can be viewed here or in the gallery below.

We would like to say thank you wholeheartedly for these words of encouragement, partnership and friendship.

Shanxi and NRW have a lot in common, among other things in terms of economic focus and the structural change that has to be managed.

The CFH Group has been active in the Chinese market for many years. With our Chinese joint venture "Shanxi Tiandi CFT Technology" and our subsidiary "CFH Shanxi Technology" we are able to support our Chinese customers in word and deed.

We were particularly pleased with the supportive greetings from our colleagues in our Chinese joint venture, which can be seen in the sequences 06:20 minutes and 07:37 minutes.

We wish everybody in our partner province Shanxi all the very best and good health.

We look forward to meeting you again soon in person!

We are always looking forward to meeting our customers in a personal way at the international trade fairs in the industry. There is no way too far for us to do so.

You can find out more about our current trade fair dates here.

Even if the personal contact is unfortunately difficult now, we are still there for you!

The German-Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry published in the "AHK businessnews" in the context of the founding of CFH Airtechnic Australia Pty. Ltd. a company portrait about the CFH Group.

The AHK reported in this issue 04/2019 on the main topic Research & Collaboration

The article we offer here for download.
You can view or download the complete issue of the magazine here.

Our CEO & Partner of CFH, Dr Reinhold Both, gladly accepted the invitation of the Chinese Industry and Trade Association (CIHD) for supporting this year's German-Chinese Economic Forum with his expertise in a constructive panel discussion. The discussion was held on the topic of "Cooperation and investment for German companies within the framework of the "One Belt, One Road Initiative". This initiative strengthens the economic cooperation between China and Europe, in particular Germany, and deepens exchanges and learnings between the two economies and cultures.

CFT has many years of experience with the Chinese sales market and continues to expand its commitment in the future. Dr Both reported on these experiences to the attendant German and Chinese entrepreneurs. With the recent establishment of the Chinese subsidiary CFH (Shanxi) Technology, the CFH Group will strengthen its presence in China in the future.

We don't receive such a visit every day - on 15^th August 2019 we were able to welcome the Minister of Economics, Innovation, Digitisation and Energy of NRW, Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart, at our headquarter in Gladbeck. We are very pleased that he accepted Dr. Reinhold Both's invitation.

The Minister was accompanied by Michael Hübner, MdL, Member of the State Parliament responsible for the Gladbeck location, and Thomas Masurek from the Ministry's ‘Mechanical and Plant Engineering, Production, Automotive, Metals, Paper’ department.

During the visit we presented the portfolio of the CFH Group and took the opportunity to report from our experience in the field - including the challenges we face in the global market.

During a visit to our production halls, the Minister was able to get an impression of the dimensions of our projects. Among other things, he could marvel at a main mine fan and a shaft ventilation system in container design.

Prof. Pinkwart: ‘CFT GmbH has been manufacturing innovative products for dedusting, ventilation, cooling and heating for 20 years now. With more than 100 employees, the company is a reliable partner for industry and an important employer in the northern Ruhr area. I wish you every success in your forthcoming relocation to Marl’.

CFT is already looking forward to welcoming Prof. Pinkwart to the opening ceremony in Marl!

For 20 years we have been supplying ventilation systems for mining and tunnelling - still made in Germany. This was a reason for our employees to celebrate with our national and international business partners and CFT friends. And that, in keeping with our mining roots, on the grounds of the Zollverein colliery, a world cultural heritage site in Essen.

It was a very enjoyable and exuberant evening, which will be remembered for a long time.

We are glad that we could do something good with our company anniversary. We are very grateful for the numerous donations to the Nikolaushaus in Kemondo.

CFT Kazakhstan and CFT Polska, both companies of the CFH Group, are celebrating their anniversary this year. For 10 years now, they have been part of the CFH Group, supporting customers and realizing projects in their regions. They are also an important part of the CFH Group's service network.

We personally congratulated and celebrated on site. They were very nice evenings which were more than worthy of the occasion.

We would like to thank you for the many years of good and trusting cooperation and look forward to future projects and challenges.
