“…In the late 1960s, the first MBR was commercially developed by Dorr-Oliver. Both capital and operating costs were initially very high, but in the last 15 years, costs have been significantly reduced [12]. The unique feature of this technology is that it involves two separate processes.…”

“…The retentate is one of the streams in cross-flow separation that contains higher concentrations of pollutants than the feed stream. It is necessary to treat the retentate before disposal because it has disastrous consequences for the environment [11,12]. In membrane bioreactors (MBRs), a certain amount of sludge is produced due to the growth and decay of the bacteria contained in them [13].…”

Due to strong globalization and industrialization, water has become a scarce resource. One industry that uses a lot of water and generates a large amount of wastewater is the textile industry. According to the Best Available Techniques reference document, pressure-driven membrane processes have been declared the best methods for the treatment and reuse of textile wastewater. Such processes generate a certain amount of solid waste in addition to excellent permeate quality. This book chapter provides a critical overview of pressure-driven membrane processes (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) for the treatment of textile wastewater. Finally, this chapter covers the treatment and disposal of retentate and MBR sludge.
