Wastewater management aims to protect water resources through the collection, treatment, and reuse of wastewater.
Wastewater is treated in 3 phases:
- Solid removal (primary)
- Bacterial decomposition (secondary)
- Extra filtration (tertiary)
According to the UN, water scarcity due to a lack of fresh resources is becoming a severe challenge and affecting around 40% of the global population, which is encouraging new establishments of wastewater treatment facilities. The increasing need for wastewater treatment plants is likely to drive the demand for membrane bioreactors. (Source)
To overcome this challenge, researchers have developed new and innovative technologies to treat wastewater in a faster, more efficient, and more effective way. One of these technologies is membrane bioreactors (MBRs), which use a combination of physical and biological processes to remove pollutants from wastewater. MBRs are more effective than traditional methods because they can remove even the smallest particles from the water, including bacteria, viruses, and chemicals. (Source)
