Investigating the use of anaerobic membrane bioreactors in industrial wastewater treatment, the future and challenges

Today, there are many technologies in the field of industrial wastewater treatment, each of which has challenges and disadvantages. In this article, firstly, organic water pollution was discussed to justify the choice of this technology. A variety of important challenges including fouling of membranes, nitrogen control, prices and cost and energy demand were discussed. It was shown that little energy is needed to start this process, but membrane fouling is still a bit problematic. The advances made by researchers in recent years were discussed and the use of this technology was recommended as an economical solution.
