The book covers the subject of membrane bioreactors (MBR) for wastewater treatment, dealing with municipal as well as industrial wastewaters. The book details the 3 types of MBR available and discusses the science behind the technology, their design features, operation, applications, advantages, limitations, performance, current research activities and cost.
As the demand for wastewater treatment, recycling and re-use technologies increases, it is envisaged that the membrane separation bioreactor will corner the market.

State-of-the-art of membrane bioreactors: worldwide research and commercial applications in north america
Wenbo Yang,Nazim Cicek,John Ilg +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of MBR research efforts in the area of MBRs as well as focus attention to commercial MBR applications in North America is presented. But the primary research focus has been on water filtration MBRs with limited growth in extractive and gas diffusion MBRs which still hold un-tapped potential.
