Membrane Bio Reactor Varsseveld
The new wastewater treatment plant in Varsseveld is the first full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) for the treatment of domestic wastewater in the Netherlands. The plant produces 755 cubic metres of clean water per hour using membranes through which the wastewater is passed.
Dutch Crown Prince Willem-Alexander officially opened the Varsseveld WWTP on 3 May 2005. See the press release for more information.
On 25 April 2005 an international MBR Symposium was held at the plant in Varsseveld. Click here for more information, photos and to download all handouts.
April 2005 the third MBR Special of the Dutch H2O magazine was published. Download it now here.
The membrane surface at the Varsseveld plant totals more than 20,000 square
metres (approximately the size of four football pitches). If you want to see
how a membrane tank is constructed, take a look at this video.
