Membion receives 5 million euros for wastewater recycling technology
Summary
Membion develops membrane bioreactor (MBR) modules for wastewater treatment.The companys patented technology enables municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plant operators to improve water quality while significantly reducing operating costs. The innovative aeration technology reduces the energy required to flush the filters by more than 90 percent. "The founding team, consisting of Dr. Klaus Vossenkaul and Dirk Volmering, has developed hollow fiber MBR modules over many years. These advantages are particularly relevant against the backdrop of increasing water quality requirements, as a "fourth purification stage" is needed to remove microplastics, antibiotic-resistant germs and other pollutants.Membions own production facility enables a scalable, highly automated production unit. Dr. Elisabeth Schrey, Managing Director of the DTCF, emphasizes the importance of innovations in wastewater and water treatment technology.
