MBR (micro biological reaction)-Internal menbrane separation

(OP)
In refinery waste oily water   treatment with a MBR (micro biological reaction) what are the advantages of internal membrane separation? What is the efficiency of this filtration in terms of oily matter (polar and non polar hydrocarbons retention)?

RE: MBR (micro biological reaction)-Internal menbrane separation

The MBR process (Membrane Biological Reactor) is an activated sludge system that uses a physical membrane for liquid-solids separation.

The activated sludge process is used to remove soluble organic matter from wastewater.

Having said that, you would have to pretreat oil wastewater to remove oils before treatment with an MBR process.

There are other membrane processes used to remove oils from water, but the MBR process is not one of them.
