ABSTRACT: Water
pollution has become one of the most pressing health crises in the world. Water
pollution control began as early as the late 1800s. In 2008, there were 14,780
municipal wastewater treatment plants operating in the United States. These plants range in size from a few hundred gallons per
day (GPD) to over 1.445 billion gallons (MGD) per day. Wastewater treatment
facilities are designed and constructed or upgraded to reduce the amount and
diversity of pollutants. This article gives a review of the current industrial
wastewater treatment technology in recent years, including treatment
principles, advantages and disadvantages of each method, and the corresponding
applications. Also, this article reviewed two common biological technologies
Anaerobic Ammonium Oxidation (ANAMMOX) and Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor
(ANMBR) technology, by assessing their advantages, disadvantages, and costs,
and provides resources for further technical research. This article can serve
as a guide for anyone seeking information on innovative and emerging industry
wastewater treatment technologies.
