With the decline of freshwater resources, attention is increasingly directed towards recovering, reusing, and recycling water. In addition, stringent compliance mandates for wastewater disposal, increasing treatment expenses, and spatial limitations necessitate an alternative solution. Due to its wide applicability, membrane technology has received significant attention in conjunction with biological treatment methods. Numerous studies have demonstrated satisfactory performance attributes of membrane systems over a few decades. This paper presents a comprehensive review of MBR operation, delving into the configurations, design attributes, membrane fouling, and strategies for its control. Furthermore, the possibilities and implementation of MBR as a viable solution for wastewater treatment have been examined. The data regarding process parameters and effluent quality are presented to assess the key findings of the aerobic membrane bioreactor (AeMBR). Essential elements like loading rates, retention time, cross-flow velocities, types of membranes, membrane fouling, and backwashing are also reviewed. This study delves deeper into contemporary mathematical models and simulations aimed at forecasting MBR efficiency. The focus is on employing membranes as solid/liquid separators, which are essential for attaining directly reusable effluent quality. The review also accounts for a financial analysis, for the selection of a process based on economic feasibility.
随着淡水资源的减少，人们越来越关注水的回收、再利用和循环利用。此外，对废水处理的严格合规要求、不断增加的处理费用以及空间限制都需要一种替代解决方案。由于其广泛的适用性，膜技术与生物处理方法相结合受到了广泛关注。几十年来，众多研究表明膜系统具有令人满意的性能特性。本文对膜生物反应器（MBR）的运行进行了全面综述，深入探讨了其构型、设计特性、膜污染及其控制策略。此外，还研究了MBR作为一种可行的废水处理解决方案的可能性和实施情况。给出了关于工艺参数和出水水质的数据，以评估好氧膜生物反应器（AeMBR）的关键研究结果。还综述了诸如负荷率、停留时间、错流速度、膜的类型、膜污染和反冲洗等关键要素。本研究更深入地探讨了旨在预测MBR效率的当代数学模型和模拟。重点是将膜用作固液分离器，这对于获得可直接再利用的出水水质至关重要。该综述还进行了财务分析，以便根据经济可行性选择工艺。
