Given the history and development of environmental engineering, with wastewater treatment in particular, as it is understood today, the membrane bioreactor is quite a recent invention. Commercialization and implementation of the technology has only been going on in the last couple of decades, and so, not surprisingly, MBR technology is still in a period of intense development [33]. The current M B R business...

Some of the largest plants for seawater desalination, wastewater treatment and gas separation are already based on membrane engineering. For example, the Ashkelon Desalination Plant for seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO), in Israel, has been fully operational since December 2005 and produces more than 100 million m3 of desalinated water per year. One of the largest submerged membrane bioreactor unit in the world was recently built in Porto Marghera (Italy) to treat tertiary water. The growth in membrane installations for water treatment in the past decade has resulted in a decreased cost of desalination facilities, with the consequence that the cost of the reclaimed water for membrane plants has also been reduced.

Because a blocatalyst-blndlng membrane works as a specific, heterogeneous catalyst that can be used repeatedly. It finds many applications In chemical processes. Several types of reactors have been designed to Incorporate blocatalyst-blndlng membranes. A spiral module reactor has an advantage that pressure-drop Is extremely retarded (22)- The chemical engineering of membrane bioreactors has been reviewed elsewhere (30,31).

Abstract This chapter describes membrane bioreactors from an engineering point of view. A membrane bioreactor can be defined as a unit operation or a piece of chemical equipment that combines a biocatalyst-fiUed reaction chamber with a membrane system for the purposes of adding reactants or removing products from a reaction.
