…kein großes Projekt, doch ein dafür umso mehr spannendes mit Fragestellungen, wie diese sich im internationalen Beratungsgeschäft mitunter ergeben – und das bemerkenswerterweise häufig in Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländern, von denen (und das ohne jeden Zweifel zu Recht) angenommen werden darf, dass die Beschäftigung mit Prototyp-Technologien sinnvollerweise nicht ans obere Ende einer Prioritätenskala zu reihen ist.

...not a large project, but one all the more exciting as it deals with questions and issues that often arise in international consulting – and remarkably often for projects in emerging and developing countries. At such locations one may assume (rightly so!) that a focus on prototype technologies is something which should not be top priority. However, the compulsive concept (the “King Midas-Idea”) to convert waste into money, via the intermediate forms raw materials and/or energy with no residue produced, is sometimes pursued with a level of enthusiasm which is typically inverse to tangible technical expertise (referring to waste treatment beyond laboratory scale) of the respective technology supporters. This applies in central Europe equally to in emerging and developing countries. As a consultant, to provide meaningful input to such projects is perhaps our business’ greatest challenge, and requires not only well-grounded engineering know how, but also tactful instinct, pedagogical-didactical skills – and some luck, as in the present case.
