1 Introduction to aerobic membrane bioreactors: Current status and recent developments

The aerobic membrane bioreactor (MBR) process is a wastewater treatment technology that combines suspended growth bioreactor with membrane filtration, which is one of the most successful commercial applications of membrane technology. The membrane acts as a barrier, rejecting solid particles while passing permeate through the membrane. The result is a high-quality permeate with very low suspended solids.
