Correct option is D
Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) are advanced systems used in wastewater treatment. These systems combine biological treatment processes (using microorganisms to break down organic matter) with membrane filtration. The membrane component serves to filter out solid waste and pathogens, providing a high-quality effluent that can be reused or safely discharged into the environment.
Key Benefits of MBRs:
- High-Quality Effluent: MBRs produce treated water with significantly lower levels of contaminants compared to conventional wastewater treatment methods.
- Compact Design: These systems require less space than traditional treatment plants, making them ideal for urban areas.
- Versatility: MBRs can be used in various settings, including municipal wastewater treatment, industrial wastewater management, and even in decentralized systems like those used in small communities or residential complexes.
