This lab is dedicated to mineral synthesis and other experiments using mostly inorganic chemistry or hydrothermal synthesis methods. The lab is equipped with standard chemical laboratory equipment such as analytical balance, centrifuge, fume hood, furnaces, hotplate stirrers, ovens, dry block heater, pH meters as well as reflux setups and sonicator bath. Hydrothermal synthesis is possible in closed Teflon lined cells heated either conductively or by microwave irradiation.

The groundwater monitoring is used to evaluate the local quality and quantity of the groundwater. These information are required to obtain important insights in the hydrochemical processes in the aquifer, as well as the origin and residence time of groundwater.
The Grundfos MP 1 submersible pump set with a connected, closed flow cell enables observations of the physicochemical parameters with digital IDS sensors (temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, redox potential, dissolved oxygen), …

In the laboratory for fluid chemistry, various devices are used to determine the chemical properties of geothermal fluids.
