Thomas Merkle - M .Eng. Dipl.-Ing. (FH) - has some decades of
experience as graduated engineer in the areas of flow technology
and energy technology. His experience about pumps ranges from
engineering and design up to planning and operation of pumps and
pumping systems. He also obtained experience in the operation and
maintenance of water pumps under extremely difficult conditions in
remote regions.
Since more than 13 years he is working as Chief engineer for the
company Schmalenberger in Tuebingen/Germany. In this function he is
member of the research working group pumps & systems in the German
association VDMA (German engineering association), and in the
Network research & development of IHK Reutlingen (chamber of
commerce and industry).
After his studies, which he finalized with two degrees - one in
mechanical engineering and one after a post-graduate course in
technical project management - he worked as project engineer,
project manager and head of research & development, also overseas,
on the topics of renewable energy, flow technology and energy
efficiency for many years.
He searched at the center for solar energy and hydrogen research
Baden-Württemberg (ZSW), Stuttgart, in the field of applied solar
energy research. During this time, he held a part-time lectureship
(1993-1997) as a lecturer at the University of Cooperative
Education, Stuttgart, in the subject Renewable Energies.
He wrote many publications about pump technology, energy and
renewable energy. A handbook for operation of pumps Schaeden an
Pumpen und Pumpensystemen has been published by Expert Verlag
Publishers.
In the context of his work at Schmalenberger, numerous
investigations were carried out and solutions worked out to the
pump wear topic.
He guided many research & development projects - supported by the
BMWI (German ministry for economic.) and the BMBF (German ministry
for research) - about pumps & systems.
Since 2011, he is part time lecturer in the field of pumps and
systems at the Technical Academy Technische Akademie Esslingen.
Main emphases of his present work are energy efficiency, wear
prevention and anti-corrosion protection.
