ABSTRACT:
This paper focuses on
the recent research in the development of anaerobic membrane bioreactors in wastewater treatment.
Anaerobic wastewater treatment technology is gaining increasing attention due
to its capacity to convert wastewater BODs to usable biogas with relatively low
energy consumption. The anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR), which is a
combination of the anaerobic biological wastewater treatment process and membrane
filtration, represents a recent development in the high-rate anaerobic bioreactors. This
paper reviews applications and performances of AnMBR and the membrane
filtration behaviour in AnMBRs.
