Life
After graduating from high school , Franz-Xaver Roiner initially trained as a dairy specialist and later as a dairy master. During his studies at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich from 1953 to 1958, he was already working in parallel in his uncle's dairy, the Innstolz Käsewerk Roiner. From 1963 to 1967 he developed the first continuous cheese maker together with the Waldner company , Wangen im Allgäu , which was first used in 1967 in the Erding dairy . In 1982, as part of his teaching activities as a professor at the Hanover University of Applied Sciences , he developed a process for the production of acidic liquids that made the production of mildly acidic butter possible in the first place. In 1988, 5000 tons of radioactively contaminated whey, which arose after the Chernobyl reactor disaster in Bavaria, were decontaminated using the Roiner ion exchange process in the decommissioned Lingen nuclear power plant . Based on the experience with the selective exchange of ions, Franz-Xaver Roiner developed various processes for converting and using energy from aqueous liquids and for processing salty water into drinking water .
