LCA of a Membrane Bioreactor Compared to Activated Sludge System for Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems are connected to several advantages compared to the conventional activated sludge (CAS) units. This work aims to the examination of the life cycle environmental impact of an MBR against a CAS unit when treating municipal wastewater with similar influent loading (BOD...
