The document discusses various water innovation projects focused on resource recovery and wastewater treatment, including the LIFE MEMORY, INCOVER, and RUN4LIFE initiatives. It highlights the potential of anaerobic membrane bioreactors (ANMBR) for urban wastewater treatment, emphasizing energy production, reduced biosolid generation, and high-quality nutrient-rich water. Additionally, case studies demonstrate advancements in nutrient recovery and recycled water supply for agricultural and industrial use.

- 9. Life MEMORY - AnMBR CONCLUSIONS From an environmental, economic and social point of view, AnMBR for urban wastewater treatment is a promising technology: • Suitable COD removal (> 90%) and methane production (70% in biogas) • The AnMBR system can be operated with flux around 20 LMH (comparable with aerobic MBR systems), no chemical cleaning needed after one year of operation • Low biosolids production can be achieved, far below the reported values in aerated MBRs • AnMBR can be a net energy producer, but recovering methane from effluent is a crucial step for the favorable energy balance of the process • High quality treated water is obtained, which is rich-nutrient water Identify value of
