A significant milestone for Membion: our energy-efficient membrane technology is being used in the expansion of the Wolfsburg-Stahlberg wastewater treatment plant—which will be Germany’s largest MBR wastewater treatment plant in the future, designed for 220,000 population equivalents (PE).
The contract for this pioneering project was awarded to a consortium consisting of ZWT Wasser- und Abwassertechnik GmbH, Kögel Bau GmbH & Co. KG, and Membion GmbH. The special feature: This is a functional tender in which an integrated solution comprising planning, construction, and technology was evaluated. The solution we developed together with ZWT impressed with its cost-effectiveness, performance, and outstanding energy efficiency throughout its entire life cycle.
“We are delighted to be part of this pioneering project. With our membrane modules, we are setting new standards in terms of energy efficiency, compactness, and effluent quality—and demonstrating what modern MBR technology is capable of today.” — Dr. Klaus Vossenkaul, Managing Director of Membion GmbH
Commissioning is planned for mid-2027, with construction set to begin in November 2025. With an investment volume of around 14 million euros, the project marks an important step in the transition to a sustainable wastewater infrastructure – and underscores the growing importance of our compact, efficient membrane filters in municipal wastewater technology.
We would like to thank our partners ZWT and Kögel Bau for their trust and excellent cooperation – and we are delighted that our technology is making a significant contribution to water protection and energy neutrality.
