Sidestream anaerobic MBR technology can recover energy from high-strength industrial wastewaters whilst producing a clarified treated effluent for discharge or potential reuse. It is becoming more viable as industrial effluents increase in strength.

The discharge of PFAS from the polymerisation stage of PVDF membrane production is likely to lead to a future ban on PVDF fabrication, despite improvements in manufacturing practices and implementation of more aggressive effluent treatment technologies.

Pilot-scale trials by PUB Singapore have demonstrated the benefits of combining MABR and MBR technologies for treating municipal wastewater. Energy consumptions below 0.25 kWh/m3 have been recorded with membrane permeabilities sustained above 200 LMH/bar.

The Glenmorangie distillery near Tain in Scotland uses a sidestream anaerobic MBR for treating its effluent. The process results in the biological generation of methane, which is recovered and used to produce energy for use in the distillery process.

Anaerobic MBRs offer a low-energy means of treating municipal wastewater to produce a permeate product which meets various national and international standards for a number of reuse applications, although careful management of the biogas methane is needed.

PFAS emissions vary in concentration and effluent volume across the different stages of the the PVDF membrane life cycle. While there is no evidence of significant emissions during the use stage, emissions from fabrication and disposal have been reported.
