Overview on Membrane Bioreactor System - Global Trends and Market Analysis.

Membrane bioreactor is based on combination of biological degradation and membrane processes like microfiltration and ultrafiltration . The process of membrane bioreactor produces the highest quality discharge without requiring any addition or generation of chemicals that are hazardous to the environment.
The MBR process was introduced in late 1960's by Dorr-Oliver Inc. Till the 1989 MBR were designed with separation device located external to bioreactor and it dependent on high transmembrane pressure to maintain process of filtration, then by the idea of submerging the membranes in the bioreactor by Yamamoto and co-workers MBR got a breakthrough.

As compared to conventional treatment processes, membranes are able to provide better quality effluent with smaller, simplified treatment process. The membranes and processes used in this systems act as an impenetrable physical barrier for nearly all common pollutants that are found in waste water in todays life span. The MBR systems is designed specially in such a way for the unique needs and characteristics of the onsite and decentralized waste water industry which makes it most advanced system on the market. Combined with increasing conventional water treatment costs, membrane treatment is now considered economically feasible for municipal and industrial treatment.  

Global trends and market analysis for MBR Systems.

In the upcoming twenty to thirty years the availability of fresh water or clean water will become seriously limited to some part of the world. In many developed and developing countries of the world water quality and water scarcity are the major problems which they will face in the upcoming decades. Salinity intrusion, nutrient eutrophication, endocrine disruptors and heavy metals will be the few sources for contamination of water..And this problem has one possible solution which is application of membrane bioreactors for water treatment and reuse of water.
The global MBR market is witnessing a huge growth because of stringent environmental regulations and the scarcity of available water combined with the economy of space and ease  of automation that MBR is provided. The Market in developed nations is dominated by municipal applications as compare to industrial applications. The countries in Asia like China, Japan, are the leading growing market for MBR systems with huge demand for MBR system. As per market research analysis the revenue for year 2011 was estimated at $888 million in 2011 and the market was estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of  20.8% to reach operation volumes of 12,344 Cubic meters/day by 2017.
In Asia Pacific region applications like waste water treatment, hollow fiber and internal membrane has a major market which drives the global demand for these types of applications in MBR systems.
