This document provides an overview of membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology for wastewater treatment. MBR systems combine biological treatment with microfiltration or ultrafiltration membranes to filter wastewater. This allows for very high concentrations of mixed liquor suspended solids and produces high-quality effluent that can be reused. While MBRs have advantages like compact design and high treatment capacity, they also have higher capital costs and issues with membrane fouling. Currently, over 250 MBR systems are in use globally, especially in Japan and India for water recycling.
