'What are MBRs?' - the pocketbook: Register your interest for a 20% discount pre-order price

About this book

This little pocketbook packs a powerful punch. What are MBRs? is a complete practical resource on membrane bioreactors, combining c.150 pages of print with a credit-card sized USB of digital tools (MBR xtras) for more extensive knowledge – videos, images, documents and Excel spreadsheet-based energy/cost calculation aids and data correlations.

The pocketbook is an introductory text for anyone wishing to familiarise themselves with membrane bioreactor technology for wastewater treatment. But it also provides more practical specialist content for those already working in the field – academics, students, wastewater plant operators, technology suppliers and consultants.

Written by Simon Judd, author of two editions of The MBR Book, this new pocketbook covers the basics of biological wastewater treatment, an overview of membrane processes, plus (among other things) MBR fundamentals, and MBR design, operation and costs.

So, what makes this book different?

The What are MBRs? pocketbook combines both print and digital tools:

• print – c.150 pages including colour images, line drawings, equations and tables
• digital – a credit-card size USB drive (MBR xtras) containing 40+ electronic files: videos, images, documents and Excel spreadsheet-based energy/cost calculation aids and data correlations – offering more extensive specialist information.

It represents great value for money – a high-quality, full-colour technical reference book at an accessible price.

Important: the digital tools were developed using Microsoft Office Excel and are for education and information purposes only (see the full book sales terms and conditions).

Why now? (when we said wouldn't write any more books...)

The start of 2026 marks The MBR Site's 15th anniversary and, coincidentally, the 20th anniversary of the publication of the first edition of The MBR Book so it seemed like a good moment to produce one last book. And that'll be it. Promise.
