Technologies using waste and wastewater as substrates play a major part in developing circular economy systems. This concept views waste from one industry as resource for another, allowing for the circle to be closed and negative emissions to the environment to be reduced.\u00a0 The proposed research fits perfectly into this important aspect of further development of economy in a sustainable way.

The second stage of laboratory research was devoted to determining the characteristics of the Modular Heat Pump prototype after introducing the modifications made in the optimization phase of the first stage of research, as well as determining if the modifications brought about expected results in terms of improved performance, energy efficiency, and functional properties.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sin.put.poznan.pl\/reports\/details\/r1159_2020\"><strong>https:\/\/sin.put.poznan.pl\/reports\/details\/r1159_2020<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fc103a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0fc103a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Institute activities also include&nbsp;<strong>collaboration with the social and economic environment<\/strong>&nbsp;by means of providing measurement and simulation analyses, optimization tasks, audits and expert opinions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ee2.put.poznan.pl\/index.php\/badania\/wspolpraca-z-przemyslem\/\"><u><b>Read more \u2013 cooperation with industry<\/b><\/u><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Institute of Environmental Engineering conducts \u00a0research and academic work\u00a0including\u00a0theoretical analyses, and research and measurement works\u00a0mainly in the field of environmental engineering, mining and energy.
