Membrane bioreactors – A review on recent developments in energy reduction, fouling control, novel configurations, LCA and market prospects
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology is considered a well-established, mature technology with many full-scale plants around the world treating municipal and industrial wastewater. However, membrane fouling and energy consumption still remain serious obstacles and challenges in the wider spread of the MBR technology. Therefore, considerable research and development efforts are still underway. Recent developments are primarily focused on aspects related to energy reduction, fouling control and novel configurations for enhanced process performance. This review addresses the recent work on the above mentioned aspects and it discusses the overall life cycle of MBRs and the market prospects for MBR technology. Novel MBR configurations and integrations with other technologies are also reviewed. Finally, the challenges that need to be addressed in order to facilitate market penetration of MBR technology are highlighted.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
