MBRs have been employed for effluent treatment across many industrial sectors, including food & beverage and pharmaceuticals
The basis for selecting an industrial effluent treatment process is almost always financial, the payback period being crucial
MBRs have been implemented for refining and petrochemical effluents; the largest industrial MBRs are associated with refining
Both sidestream and immersed MBRs have been implemented for marine applications, where a small process footprint is essential
MBR technology is often implemented in the food & beverage sector for enhanced treatment before discharge, or for water reuse
Pharmaceutical effluents contain low levels of active pharmaceutical ingredient (APIs) and higher levels of organic solvents
Sidestream MBRs have been implemented for the treatment of aged, biorefractory landfill leachate since the early 1990s
MBRs have been used for pulp and paper effluent for water reuse, their implementation being largely dependent upon economics
