Article Synopsis
- This study reviews global membrane bioreactor (MBR) practices for treating hospital wastewater, highlighting trends, performance metrics, and economic factors such as CAPEX and OPEX.
- MBR technology has evolved significantly over two decades, with a rise in usage post-COVID-19, showcasing a shift from hollow fiber to flat inorganic membranes and demonstrating effective pollutant and pathogen removal.
- Recent advancements have reduced both capital and operational costs of MBR systems, making their footprint smaller compared to traditional methods, while also lowering carbon emissions and sludge production, enhancing their sustainability.
