The term 'low cost' is widely used in the academic literature without due attention to all relevant cost components. This is especially true when considering novel membranes, for which other costs as well as the membrane material cost can be significant.

Can the water industry survive without PVDF membranes? And should it be forced to lose its preferred material for water and wastewater treatment? PVDF is the material of choice for MBR membranes, but its future could be determined by EU PFAS legislation.

Academic research into MBRs has been dominated by studies of membrane fouling and foulant characterisation. Key topics, such as process failure risk, chemical cleaning impacts on membrane life, and pretreatment requirements, have been largely overlooked.

The ever-decreasing supply of freshwater has led to revisiting of the subject of wastewater reclamation generally. Should we be building larger reservoirs and focus on recovering the water following its domestic or industrial use?

The MFC-MBR technology offers potential for low-energy wastewater treatment. But it is unclear how much latent electrical energy can be recovered from the wastewater and the cost is of retrofitting the MFC components to an existing MBR technology.
