Global
Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor market is anticipated
to grow robustly in the forecast period 2024-2028. Over the past several years,
industrialization and population density have increased global demand for clean
and fresh water. The market is expected to grow with a high CAGR in the
forecast period. The activated sludge process and membrane
technologies including microfiltration or ultrafiltration, are combined to
create the membrane bioreactor (MBR), which is a method for treating wastewater,
biologically. Today, it is often employed in the treatment of industrial and
municipal wastes. There are two different MBR configurations: the first is
known as a submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR), and the second is termed as a
side stream membrane bioreactor. The membrane is positioned within the
biological reactor in the first configuration, immersed in the wastewater,
whereas in the second configuration, the membrane is positioned outside the
reactor as an extra step, following biological treatment.
Rising Demand of Freshwater and Concern of
Less Carbon Emission Driving the Market in The Future
The main factor driving the global market
for membrane-aerated biofilm reactors is the concern about freshwater
shortages. Governments and regulatory agencies are implementing strict
regulations regarding wastewater treatment. Additionally, several governments
are offering tax breaks and other incentives to encourage the use of wastewater
treatment systems, in both the residential and commercial sectors. Therefore,
one of the ways to prevent water pollution is to implement strict rules that
encourage water conservation and the reuse of treated wastewater.
The global membrane-aerated biofilm reactor
market is anticipated to experience growth over the forecast period due to
increased energy efficiency, improved treatment capacity, and reduced carbon
emissions from such reactors. Membrane-aerated biofilm reactors boost treatment
capacity by more than 50% while consuming less energy overall. It is thus an
environmentally beneficial option.
The self-respiring, spirally coiled
membrane envelope at the center of Fluence's MABR passively introduces oxygen
into the wastewater so that beneficial bacteria can flourish. Due to these
factors, the market is likely to continue expanding in the future with a high
CAGR.
Rising Government Concern and Funding
Towards MABR
Membrane-aerated biofilm reactors, which
have higher energy efficiency and more treatment capacity than aerobic
wastewater treatment, provide more advanced water filtration. The membrane-aerated
biofilm reactor technology is, therefore, receiving more significant funding
through companies.
For instance, GE officially announced its innovative
ZeeLung* Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor (MABR) technology, which is four
times more energy efficient than current aeration systems and accounts for 35
percent of the energy budget of a typical municipal government in the United
States.
Regulatory and governmental authorities
have mandated the development of wastewater treatment systems. However,
companies that require significant financial inputs are hesitant to use these
systems. Thus, the global market for membrane-aerated biofilm reactors is
significantly restricted by this aspect, also including the lack of
infrastructure and consumer awareness.

Recent
Developments
· GE developed the ZeeLung technology to
help wastewater treatment facilities be energy neutral by drastically lowering
the energy requirements of the biggest energy user in a treatment facility—the
biological process of aeration. It is possible to create energy-neutral
wastewater facilities where the energy generated is equal to or greater than
the energy used by combining this energy reduction with improved on-site energy
generation through advanced anaerobic digestion.
·
Tamil Nadu is the location of 100 MLD Sea
Water Desalination Plant-Reverse Osmosis project, which are managed by Chennai
Water Desalination Limited and IVRCL Infrastructure Projects Limited. The
project costs 550 crores and has a 237 MLD capacity. It is at the operation and
maintenance stage, as of September 2019.
