The aim of this study is to promote
membrane employment for sustainable environmental protection practices in terms
of retaining the depletion of natural resources at a grade less than their
proportion of renewal and consumption and employment of as much renewable
resources as possible instead of depletion of unrenewable resources.
Furthermore, information on life cycle assessment of products and manufacturing
systems is provided. Energy and water are the indispensable resources for the
mankind wealth. The increased energy needs arising from developing technologies,
increasing population and limited resources have led people to turn to
sustainable methods, especially in the case of limited water resources. There
has been growing rate of interest for biological wastewater treatment methods
by membrane employment. Separation of solid-liquid mixtures is implemented in
the way of biological wastewater treatment; especially MBRs have critical role
for treatment processes. MBR operations allow biological treatment and
disinfection without utilization of chemicals and the amount of produced sludge
is less due to unemployment of SRT. Although membrane technology still needs to
be improved regarding energy consumption, membrane and/or module manufacturing
costs, durableness and expertise, it has an important place in the energy-efficient
sustainable water supply, industrial wastewater management processes and energy
production. In addition to this, they are flexible and adaptable for module
modification and latest novelties. In literature, limited researches have been
practiced so far dealt with the issue of public acceptance of certain methods
being applied. Future research may focus on overcoming the issue of membrane
fouling, by devising methods for efficient cleaning, preferentially without
employment of dangerous chemicals, as well as by investigating new types of
membranes.
