Long term experience with Germany’s largest membrane filtration plant for drinking water production (7,000 m3/h)

Currently, around 100 membrane filtration plants are in operation in Germany, of which 85 % are operated with low pressure porous microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes. About 90 % of the total number of plants uses spring and well water as a raw water resource and just 7 % are fed with reservoir water. However, related to the total capacity of roughly 325,000 m3 produced drinking water per day by porous membranes in Germany about 60 % is from reservoir water, meaning a lot of water is produced by a small number of large plants.

In November 2005 one of the largest combined coagulation ultrafi ltration plants worldwide and the largest in Germany went into operation. Its maximum capacity is about 7,000 m³/h of drinking water. Furthermore, a secondary UF stage with a capacity of about 630 m³/h has been used to treat the back-wash water of the first stage. The innovative plant design results from an intensive preliminary pilot period, in which several advanced concepts had been investigated. The paper reflects the long term experience with operation and monitoring of the plant over a period of about three years. Up to now expectations regarding performance in terms of permeability, retention, and reliability have been exceeded. The predicted specific treatment costs of about 10 €Ct/m³ drinking water were achieved or even reduced.

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
