Abstract:This chapter summarizes recent progresses on anaerobic membrane bioreactors' (AnMBR) technology and its applications. The historical and technological background of the AnMBR are first discussed followed by development of the process, configurations, type of membrane and performance in the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters, as well as solid wastes. Information related to the pilot experiment and full-scale application of AnMBRs is also provided with emphasis on the experience developed in Japan. Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
