High strength industrial wastewater is difficult to classify but by its characteristics can be predicted using biodegradability criteria (BOD5/COD).

Fouling factors by membrane, biomass and MBR operation need to be taken seriously because they are the major problems affecting the performance of the MBR and quality of the effluent.
