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.

Non-sewered sanitation with the NEWgenerator - a solar powered anaerobic MBR
An off-grid wastewater treatment system for use in informal settlements was tested over an 18-month period. The NEWGenerator is based on an anaerobic sidestream MBR with downstream processes, all powered by photovoltaic cells mounted on the roof.
