\n\t\tSEE was founded in 2026, but the expertise behind it spans decades.
\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr.-Ing. Peter Schmittel <\/strong>spent 25 years in the chemical industry, including around 15 years as Operations Manager of the wastewater treatment plant and sewage sludge incineration facility at BASF SE. The facility is among the largest of its kind in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tMost recently, he developed energy transition projects, including a biogas plant, the \u201cWastewater Treatment Plant of the Future\u201d initiative, and a large-scale heat pump utilizing energy recovered from wastewater.

\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with M.Sc. Hannah Mennecke,<\/strong> whose expertise includes data analytics, process simulation, and machine learning, SEE supports municipalities and industrial clients with consulting and engineering services, from the first concept and feasibility study to the successful commissioning of facilities and processes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\t

\n\t\tI am a PhD-qualified process engineer and a third-generation engineer. For more than 25 years, I worked in the chemical industry, including over 15 years leading the wastewater treatment plant and sewage sludge incineration facility at BASF SE, one of Europe\u2019s largest and most technically demanding facilities of its kind. My expertise spans the entire wastewater and sludge treatment value chain, from mechanical and biological treatment processes to thermal utilization and energy recovery.\t<\/p>\n\n\n\n


As Chair of a DWA Expert Committee and a member of the VDI (Association of German Engineers) for more than 35 years, I am committed to technical innovation, practical solutions, and clear, straightforward engineering communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply put, I am passionate about engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
