In the face of water shortages, population growth, and climate change, improvements in wastewater treatment operations and technology are necessary to reduce the over exploitation of freshwater resources around the world. Conventional wastewater treatment operations have succeeded in the past to treat industrial and municipal wastewater, however with increasing water demands and ever-changing environmental regulations, new and improved technology is necessary for a sustainable future. Membrane filtration and membrane bioreactors have increased in popularity as a new and improved method for wastewater treatment. Membrane bioreactors as well as various membrane filtration systems were studied in this report including their unit …
