CAS is different
from MBR where settleability is negligible with the presence of membrane application. MBR also can give high performance in treating
water besides having less footprints compared to conventional activated sludge where secondary clarifier processes are eliminated.
MBR also produces high quality effluent [7] , good in removing organic
and inorganic contaminants, capable to resist high organic loading [8]
and has lesser sludge generation [5]. Due to the advantages of MBR,
some industries reuse treated water for other processes, for instance,
industrial sanitary and landscape purposes. In some other cases, the
MBR treated water is reused for heat integration and processing by
ensuring the water treated by MBR has a lesser amount of contami-nants to avoid sensitive equipment or pipes from breakdown
