Abstract
Water is absolutely necessary for all living things to survive. The fish processing industry generates large volumes of wastewater containing organic solids, disease-causing agents, phosphates and nitrates, posing environmental pollution and biohazard risks to both populations and ecosystems. Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology has emerged as an innovative and effective solution for treating fish processing wastewater, mitigating its environmental impact. The high-quality effluent produced by MBRs, which combines biological treatment and membrane filtration, is ideal for reuse applications. The reuse of the MBR-treated effluent for industrial processes, irrigation, or direct discharge into delicate ecosystems can all be done safely while encouraging the protection of water resources.
