  • What is membrane bioreactor (MBR)?
  • Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is such an example, which applies membrane technology to treat various wastewaters. MBR is experiencing rising demand currently owing to its high-quality solid separation and low carbon footprint. The global membrane bioreactor market is expected to reach USD 8.27 billion by 2025.
  • How can a membrane bioreactor improve wastewater treatment?
  • He added that before the advent of the membrane bioreactor, wastewater treatment needed significant infrastructural investments in the form of large retention tanks and sedimentation tanks. The advanced technology can also reduce the amount of space needed for water treatment by up to 50 per cent.
  • What is a submerged membrane bioreactor?
  • Emeritus Professor Kazuo Yamamoto from the University of Tokyo conceptualised the submerged membrane bioreactor technology, which combines advanced filtration processes with a biological wastewater treatment process. This makes the process more efficient, and reduces the amount of land needed for water treatment.
  • Will a membrane bioreactor improve NEWater production in Singapore?
  • The high quality of effluent that will come out of Tuas... will enhance Newater production and further advance the circularity of Singapore's water economy," said Mr Ng. The membrane bioreactor process allows used water to be treated in fewer steps compared with conventional methods. ST PHOTO: ALPHONSUS CHERN
