“Membrane Bioreactors” are often discussed in the context of:

  1. A.Assisted reproductive technologies
  2. B.Drug delivery nanotechnologies
  3. C.Vaccine production technologies
  4. D.Wastewater treatment technologies
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: D. Wastewater treatment technologies

Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) integrate a membrane filtration process with a biological reactor. This advanced system is highly effective in treating municipal and industrial wastewater, offering superior effluent quality compared to conventional treatment methods. The membranes act as a barrier, retaining biomass within the reactor and allowing treated water to pass through, thereby enhancing the removal of suspended solids and pathogens.
