“…Over the past few years, FBBR has been integrated with chemical processes to advance wastewater treatment. Kwon et al [96] integrated the forward osmosis-membrane distillation (MD) technique with an anaerobic fluidized bed bioreactor. The study revealed ammonia nitrogen concentration was greatly subdued while 99% phosphorus removal was achieved.…”

Industrial wastewater consists of inorganic and organic toxic pollutants that pose a threat to environmental sustainability. The organic pollutants are a menace to the environment and life forms than the inorganic substances and pose teratogenic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, and other serious detrimental effects on the living entities, moreover, they have a gene-altering effect on aquatic life forms and affect the soil fertility and quality. Removal of varying effluents having recalcitrant contaminants with conventional treatment technologies is strenuous. In contrast to physical and chemical methods, biological treatment methods are environmentally friendly, versatile, efficient, and technically feasible with low operational costs and energy footprints. Biological treatment is a secondary wastewater treatment system that utilizes the metabolic activities of microorganisms to oxidize or reduce inorganic and organic compounds and transform them into dense biomass, which later can be removed by the sedimentation process. Biological treatment in bioreactors is an ex situ method of bioremediation and provides the benefits of continuous monitoring under controlled parameters. This paper attempts to provide a review of bioremediation technologies discussing most concerning widespread bioreactors and advances used for different industrial effluents with their comparative merits and limitations.

“…Needs to incorporate reuse of wastewater effluents by consequences of population growth, rapid urbanization and water shortage are growing rapidly for sustainable wastewater management planning (Van de Walle et al, 2023). However, due to strict wastewater reuse standards, the MBR permeate may not meet such requirements, thus requiring additional treatments (Tibi et al, 2019;Kwon et al, 2021).…”

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is an advanced wastewater treatment technology, which has been established for more than 3 decades. In MBRs, membrane separation allows not only rejecting microorganisms/greater-sized molecules but decoupling hydraulic retention time (HRT) and solid retention time (SRT). Low-pressure driven, porous membranes have been widely used in MBRs, but their performances are mainly limited for wastewater reuse applications. Recently, many attempts have been made to combine desalination technologies to advance hybrid MBR processes for wastewater reclamation. Nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) have been applied with the MBRs to improve effluent quality, and their advantages and challenges have been well reported in terms of rejection efficiency, operational energy, fouling control and recovery of retentate stream. Alternatively, the direct introduction of non-pressurized desalination technologies such as forward osmosis (FO) and membrane distillation (MD) into MBR processes for wastewater reclamation or probably for microbial activity have been considered substantially due to their low energy consumption and excellent rejection efficiency of solid materials. However, several technical limitations still need to be resolved to commercialize hybrid FO- or MD-MBR processes. This paper reviews recent advances of MBR technology integrated with desalination technologies for wastewater reclamation and suggests perspectives to optimize membrane-based hybrid MBR process.
