post-processing environmental technology Explanation: I think your context gives the hint on how to translate this. It appears to concern environmental technologies applied after the production process. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=post-proce... give some sites that use this terminology. |

Facilities and technology for environmental cleanup Explanation: That's what is basically meant. "Environmental restoration" could also be used, or "facilities and process technology to reverse environmental degradation", to make it sound a bit more hi-tech. |

end-of-pipe environmental technology Explanation: "end-of-pipe" technology is a relatively common term. The first link gives an explanation of the term. The second link shows an example of how this term is used. Good Luck.

end-of-pipe pollution control technology Explanation: "end-of-pipe" highlights the fact that a pollutant is being reduced and / or removed from the waste stream. This is in contrast to "Cleaner Production" practices where the generation of a pollutant is avoided in the first place. For a good summary of these terms, check out the essay by the UNEP Working Group Cleaner Production in the Food Sector: "What is end-of-pipe technology?" (first web reference listed below). Note that "nachgeschaltet" can also be translated as "secondary" in the context of specific technologies, e.g. "secondary waste gas treatment". www.icett.or.jp/techinfo.nsf, www.epa/gov/epa/home (US EPA webpage), Routledge German Dictionary of Environmental Techn Own work experience with the EPA. |
