ABSTRACT

Water-related problems have turned membrane technologies into an essential instrument for addressing the above. The membrane has become popular and widely used technology to treat wastewater and water. It is essential to note that many membrane separation techniques, namely, Reverse Osmosis, Ultra Filtration, Nano Filtration, Micro Filtration, and even modern Forward Osmosis, have already become indispensable instruments for wastewater treatment and not only. It seems that the compatibility of the membrane operations within an integrated system is one of the significant reasons for their success in wastewater treatment. Many of these techniques are integrated and use various materials to treat water prevent the environment from being damaged, and reduce energy, groundwater, and valuable product use. Some of the most efficient hybrid membrane processes for the treatment of wastewater belong to the membrane bioreactor. A review of the most important module-based technologies in membrane and practicable process in water reuse and environmental control in the context of the industrial wastewater treatment is discussed in this chapter. It looks at a wide variety of applications to deal with the huge number of waste streams created by different industries. The list of application considered herein includes but is not limited to pressure-driven membrane processes, membrane bioreactors, and hybrid membrane processes, which combine several membrane methods.
