“…Microfiltration (MF)/ultrafiltration (UF) MBRs are techno-economically feasible and a most promising option in wastewater treatment. In MBRs, flatsheet or hollowfiber (HF) membranes are immersed into a bioreactor to achieve excellent and consistent micropollutant removal, compared to conventional activated sludge systems [3,14,18,[43][44][45]. The worldwide suppliers and key players of MBRs include SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions (formerly GE Water & Process Technologies) (France), Kubota (Japan), Beijing Origin Water Technology (China), Evoqua Water Technologies (US), Mitsubishi Chemical Aqua Solutions (Japan), Toray Industries (Japan), CITIC Envirotech Ltd. (Singapore), Koch Membrane Systems (US), Alfa Laval (Sweden), Triqua International (Netherlands), Veolia (France) and Newterra Canada) (https://www.Marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/membrane-bioreactor-market-484.html).…”

The ubiquitous presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in the environment as a result of continuous discharge from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) into water matrices—even at trace concentrations (ng/L)—is of great concern, both in the public and environmental health domains. This fact essentially warrants developing and implementing energy-efficient, economical, sustainable and easy to handle technologies to meet stringent legislative requirements. Membrane-based processes—both stand-alone or integration of membrane processes—are an attractive option for the removal of OMPs because of their high reliability compared with conventional process, least chemical consumption and smaller footprint. This review summarizes recent research (mainly 2015–present) on the application of conventional aerobic and anaerobic membrane bioreactors used for the removal of organic micropollutants (OMP) from wastewater. Integration and hybridization of membrane processes with other physicochemical processes are becoming promising options for OMP removal. Recent studies on high retention membrane bioreactors (HRMBRs) such as osmotic membrane bioreactor (OMBRs) and membrane distillation bioreactors (MDBRs) are discussed. Future prospects of membrane bioreactors (MBRs) and HRMBRs for improving OMP removal from wastewater are also proposed.
