Advanced treatment of textile wastewater towards reuse using a membrane bioreactor

A Review on Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology: It’s Commercial Applications And Possibilities of Hybridization with other Membrane Techniques to Recover Valuable Industrial By-Products for Sustainable Development and Environmental Protection by and Large

“…The rinse water can be reclaimed by membrane filtration in the nanofiltration and RO range and reused for rinsing purposes. [2][3] M. Brik et al (2006) has quantified the performance of a membrane bioreactor (MBR) for the treatment of textile wastewater, and investigated its capability to achieve a water quality meeting reuse criteria. It was demonstrated that the system is largely resistant to changing loading rates and that even at high loading rates efficient COD removal occurs.…”

“…Hey concluded with wastewater reclamation is intended MBR technology is the method of choice when it is combined with other advanced treatment technologies. [4] Marine Matosic et al (2009) has studied the results of treatment of wastewater from the bottling of water and soft drinks with a membrane bioreactor (MBR) pilot plant. MBR successfully removed pollutants measured as COD, BOD and TOC from the wastewater with an efficiency of over 90%.…”

Sustainable textile materials in interiors

“…The textile industry is also known for its intensive resource usage in complex production processes [6] and high quantity of chemical consumption, especially in dyeing and finishing processes [7]. Specific consumption can vary depending on fibre type and applied technologies in textile production processes [8]. Thus, the main environmental concerns of the textile industry are wastewaters with high flow rates and pollutant loads [9].…”

Industrial Wastewater Treatment by Using MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) Review Study

“…[39] carried out another experimental study in order to evaluate the feasibility of upgrading a conventional activated sludge WWTP treating municipal and textile wastewaters to a membrane bioreactor(MBR).The biomass retention in the MBR reactor allowed heterotrophic bacteria growth without the need to add nutrients. [40] investigated the capability of MBR to achieve a water quality meeting reuse criteria. As most of the biodegradation of dye generally takes place at very low oxygen levels, unlike a conventional MBR operated at aerobic condition, anoxic or anaerobic conditions are required for an MBR for dye wastewater treatment.…”
