A novel submerged forward osmosis membrane bioreactor (FOMBR) is presented in this study. The selection of optical draw solutions for forward osmosis (FO) applications was developed and the Na2SO4 solution was found to be the most appropriate draw solution among five draw solutions for FO applications. The properties of two hollow fiber composite FO membranes, designated membranes A and B, which consist of an active layer formed atop a support layer, were prepared and utilized. Meanwhile, the water flux and removal efficiencies were evaluated in FO mode. Both of the FO membranes were found to reject greater than 95% of COD and 85% of NH3-N. Water flux changes suggested a better application with membrane A than membrane B for FOMBR.

Forward osmosis (FO) technology has received increasing attention from many researchers since the last decade. It is an osmotically driven membrane process in which water migrates across a semi-permeable membrane from a lower osmotic pressure feed solution to a higher osmotic pressure draw solution. FO technology is often applied as a hybrid system rather than a standalone process. The purpose of this paper is to review the different types of hybrid system configurations employing FO technology for the production of potable/pure water. The integration of FO technology with other processes which include reverse osmosis, crystallisation, membrane bioreactor, nanofiltration, and electrodialysis are presented and described in-depth. With the flourishing of various FO hybrid system configurations, it is believed that FO technology will play a vital role in the water processing industry.
