Membrane bioreactor process has been one of
the alternatives for both municipal and industrial
wastewater treatment. MBRs use ultrafiltration
and/or microfiltration membranes for the completion
retention of sludge. This leads to increase
microorganism’s concentration in the reactor and
improvement process efficiency with lower sludge
production. The industrial application of membrane
bioreactors include i.e. oil wastewater treatment,
nitrogen removal from food processing
wastewater and complex compounds from pharmaceutical
wastewaters.
