Research Impact
Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBRs) combine anaerobic wastewater treatment and membrane filtration into one process and offer the possibility of improved sustainability, while producing an effluent with a quality similar to that obtained with conventional domestic wastewater treatment (DWW). The goal of this study was to address questions regarding AnMBRs applied when to DWW treatment. The research findings indicate that there are inherent benefits to AnMBR treatment of DWW, but they must be quantitatively compared relative to conventional DWW treatment to determine under what conditions AnMBRs can be successfully applied.
