text: This technology can be used to diminish the effect of droughts by effectively treating the wastewater in such a way that it can be reused, specifically for agricultural purposes.
  In addition, the AnMBR properly treats the organic load in wastewater such that it is not being released into the environment. The technology also produces less sludge due to the conversion into biogas, which provides more of an opportunity for recycling.
  When compared to its counterparts, the traditional Membrane Bioreactor and the Aerobic Membrane Bioreactor, the AnMBR comes up ahead due to the higher quality of effluent that it discharges as well as the lesser amount of sludge, due to biogas production.
