As a result, Infuser will maintain close ties with the atmospheric chemists of the research department. Not least the students, who are invited to conduct research projects for their Bachelor projects or Master’s theses – and eventually to apply for jobs at Infuser.

A profitable business
It is far from every day that a start-up company turns out successfully. But Infuser has turned its idea into profitable business.

Since its foundation in 2012, Infuser has provided clean and breathable air for a Danish wastewater treatment plant, a crisps producer in Sweden, and an animal feed producer in Denmark faced with the threat of closure by the local environmental authorities. This has assured the company its first profitable quarter in 2016, according to Lars Nannerup, CEO, Infuser.
