Objective
MBR-TRAIN provides Early Stage Research Training on process optimisation and fouling control in membrane bioreactors for water treatment. Membrane fouling has been identified as a major barrier to sustainable MBR application; MBR-TRAIN undertakes dedicated efforts to characterise and investigate both biological and physico-technical aspects of this phenomenon and develop strategies to control it. The consortium comprises 10 partners from the water industry, research institutes and universities across Europe, offering young researchers a well-organised training programme in a technology field of growing relevance.
