Q. Membrane Bioreactors are often discussed in the context of:

Explanation:

Wastewater treatment technologies

Membrane Bioreactors combine biological treatment processes (typically activated sludge) with membrane filtration. In this system, microorganisms break down organic matter in the wastewater, and then the water is filtered through membranes to separate the treated water from the biomass and other suspended solids.

MBRs are an advanced wastewater treatment technology that offers several advantages:

1. High-quality effluent suitable for reuse or discharge into sensitive environments
2. Smaller footprint compared to conventional treatment plants
3. Ability to handle higher organic loads
4. Reduced sludge production
