How is membrane filtration technology used in wastewater treatment?
Membrane technology used for removing solids from wastewater is usually based on ultrafiltration (UF) or microfiltration (MF)
Membrane processes − basics
Key MBR operation and maintenance parameters – membrane side
Of the key membrane-side parameters − flux, TMP, permeability and shear − the most important parameter of an MBR system is the flux, the volume of permeate generated per unit area of membrane per unit time.

Membranes for polishing biologically-treated wastewater
Membrane modules used for 'polishing' are normally hollow fibre (HF) ultrafiltration (UF) or microfiltration (MF) membranes

MBR academic research, past and present
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.
