Combining membrane technology with biological reactors for the treatment of municipal and industrial wastewaters has led to the development of three generic membrane processes within bioreactors: for separation and recycle of solids, for bubble-less aeration of the bioreactor, and for extraction of priority organic pollutants from hostile industrial wastewaters. Biosolid separation is, however, the most widely studied and has found full-scale applications in many countries. This chapter elaborates on the history, fundamentals, research and development challenges, as well as the commercial application of the biosolid-separation membrane biological reactor, which is commonly known as membrane bioreactor.
