Abstract

Due to its inherent benefits over traditional biological treatment, membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology has been increasingly used for the treatment of industrial wastewater. It is a viable solution for the treatment of textile wastewater. MBR treatment of textile wastewater has been examined as a dependable method for the removal of a considerable amount of pollutants. The limited adoption of MBR technology in the Bangladeshi textile sector is a result of its high operating and maintenance costs. In this work, the use of aerobic, anaerobic, and hybrid membrane bioreactors (MBR) for textile wastewater treatment, as well as prior research, potential, and problems of MBR processes in Bangladesh, are discussed in terms of textile wastewater treatment. Future research should concentrate on developing new, low-cost membrane materials that are less prone to fouling and need less energy to operate.
