 Research on waste water plant odor by industrial DMSO waste
Dietmar Glindemann discovered that Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) industrial waste in sewage produced an odor problem in a wastewater plant in Philadelphia, USA. His research saved the municipality of Philadelphia 20 million US-Dollars.
here the most important of my DMSO publications
Glindemann, D., Novak, J., Witherspoon, J.       Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) Waste Residues and Municipal Waste Water Odor by Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS): the North-East WPCP Plant of Philadelphia.    Environ. Sci. Technol. (2006), 40(1), 202-207.
  Click to enlarge Abstract: This study shows for the first time that overlooked mg/L concentrations of industrial dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) waste residues in sewage can cause “rotten cabbage” odor problems by dimethyl sulphide (DMS) in conventional municipal wastewater treatment.
In laboratory studies, incubation of activated sludge with 1 to 10 mg/L DMSO in bottles produced dimethylsulfide (DMS) at concentrations that exceeded the odor threshold by approximately four orders of magnitude in the headspace gas. Aeration at a rate of six m3 air / m3 sludge resulted in emission of the DMS into the exhaust air in a manner analogous to an activated sludge aeration tank.   
A field study at the NEWPCP sewage treatment plant in Philadelphia found DMSO levels intermittently peaking as high as 2400 mg/L in sewage near an industrial discharger. After three hours, the DMSO concentration in the influent to the aeration tank rose from a baseline level of less than 0.01 mg/L to a level of  5.6 mg/L and the DMS concentration in the mixed liquor rose from less than 0.01 to 0.2 mg/L. Finding this link between the intermittent occurrence of DMSO residues in influent of the treatment plant and the odorant DMS in the aeration tank was the key to understanding and eliminating the intermittent “canned corn” or “rotten cabbage” odor emissions from the aeration tank that had randomly plagued this plant and its city neighborhood for two decades. Sewage authorities should consider having wastewater samples analyzed for DMSO and DMS to check for this possible odor  problem and that DMSO emission thresholds be established to limit odor generation at sewage treatment plants.

Thermodynamics of True Boiling Point Distillation Rectification (TBP, ASTM D1160, ISO 6616, Crude Oil...)
Before this publication, a myth existed that a distillation process with sufficiently high separation power can
Dietmar Glindemann was the first who explored that compounds of multi-component-mixtures (crude oil, petroleum, fuels etc.) that contain different chemical classes like alkanes, aromates, alkoholes.) can not be separated according to their true boiling points by True Boiling Point Distillation (analytical TBP distillation). Even at an infinite number of theoretical plates of distillation (rectification), aceotropic effects cause that individual compounds to not  distill over as pure compounds but as mixtures.
Interestingly, these aceotropic effects of TBP  were BEFORE its experimental detection already theoretically predicted by Dietmar Glindemann using a thermodynamic model of distillation with an infinite number of theoretical plates of distillation. This theory was successfully tested by experiments of the research team by using sophisticated distillation apparatus with a high number of theoretical plates of distillation.
