The outlook on future MBR technologies

Recently, an inventive technology in wastewater treatment called membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology has been extensively employed all over the world. This technology is a biological process that modifies secondary and tertiary treatments employing a membrane filtration process. MBR is able to carry out great effluent achievement with low turbidity, less total bacterial content, and low total suspended solid (TSS) as well as nephelometric turbidity unit (NTU) because of membranes which are used to set up necessary solid-liquid separation. MBRs are applied in treating biologically active wastewater occurring from municipal or industrial sources. This technology is also against biological treatments like the conventional activated sludge (CAS) process, sequence batch reactor (SBR), and others which are used to treat several types of wastewater. Generally, in wastewater application, membranes are applied when an advanced treatment standard is necessary compared to the conventional process. Moreover, MBR is usually cost effective for reuse compared to conventional process that is not normally for reuse.
