Schematics showing flow through <strong>membrane</strong> configured as: flat sheet (a),hollow fiber (b) <strong>and</strong> tubular (c).The main considerations that have to be taken into account <strong>with</strong> respect a <strong>membrane</strong>module are (Judd, 2011): a high <strong>membrane</strong> area to module bulk volume ratio, a high degree of turbulence for mass transfer promotion on the feed side, a low energy expenditure per unit product water volume, a low cost per unit of <strong>membrane</strong> area, a design that facilitates cleaning <strong>and</strong> modularization.Membranes can be also classified attending to the material they are constructed <strong>with</strong>in organic polymeric <strong>membrane</strong>s, ceramic <strong>membrane</strong>s <strong>and</strong> metal <strong>membrane</strong>s, althoughthe use of metal <strong>membrane</strong>s in MBR is rare due to their high cost.32
