The Municipal Fair 2022 took place in Wels on June 29 and 30. The Rabmer Group was once again represented with a stand this year and focused on energy generation from the renewable source of wastewater as well as water and energy efficiency.
Regional, independent and sustainable energy sources are becoming increasingly important for municipalities, particularly due to the tense situation caused by the war in Ukraine and the current drastic rise in energy prices. With "Energy from wastewater", Rabmer has its finger on the pulse of the times and presented the innovative technology as an exhibitor at this year's municipal trade fair. Not only did many municipalities from all over Austria express their interest, but also politicians: Rabmer Managing Director Ulrike Rabmer-Koller was able to welcome, among others, Water Management Minister Norbert Totschnig, Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner, State Secretary Claudia Plakolm, Upper Austrian Governor Thomas Stelzer, Upper Austrian Association of Municipalities President Hans Hingsamer together with his colleague, the President of the Upper Austrian Association of Municipalities. President Hans Hingsamer together with his designated successor Christian Mader as well as many mayors, heads of authorities and municipal employees from all over Austria at the Rabmer stand. Many interesting discussions followed on how energy from wastewater can be used to heat and cool buildings and produce hot water and how the technology works.
Workshop "Out of gas" a complete success
In addition to the trade fair stand, we held a workshop on the topic of "Out of gas - energy from waste water for renewable heating and cooling of buildings". Many interested parties accepted the invitation and wanted to find out more about this forward-looking topic. Based on realized projects, the participants were given an understanding of the great potential of energy from wastewater and awareness was created for a rapid phase-out of gas and oil.
Municipalities focus on water and energy efficiency
Municipalities are actively looking for easy-to-implement measures to reduce energy costs for both municipal and private households. ECOTURBINO® from Rabmer offers an ideal solution here, as a mini turbine in the shower saves water and energy and at the same time reduces the cost of hot water production without any loss of comfort. Together with some municipalities, we will be creating an Ecoturbino campaign for citizens in the coming weeks. The issue of limescale and corrosion also often presents municipalities with challenges and expensive repairs. Using a cutting sample, visitors were able to take a closer look at the environmentally friendly AQUABION® from Rabmer to make limescale deposits and rust in pipes a thing of the past.
The Rabmer trade fair team would like to thank all visitors to the stand for their great interest! We are already looking forward to taking part in the municipal trade fair again next year.
