Since March 2013, Weber Ultrasonics and the Pilot Pflanzenöltechnologie Magdeburg e.V. (PPM) research institute for vegetable oil technology have been working together within the scope of the "Process for deriving oils from plankton (zooplankton)" sponsorship programme in order to develop a system concept for the production and processing of planktonic biomass.

AFSARI, an interdisciplinary research project

Numerous institutions and universities were involved in the AFSARI cooperation project, which emerged from vin2food. Weber Ultrasonics was the project initiator. During the course of a six-month planning phase, a German-African working group for developing and implementing a research concept was set up, and a final research concept for the sustainable feed and foodstuffs production from vinasse was developed. The project concept was financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
