| Use advice for data set | Users of this dataset should consider the technological applicability specific to the Hong Kong region where the data was collected. Special attention should be given to the local environmental regulations and operational practices. The dataset should not be extrapolated to other geographic areas without proper adjustment for local conditions. In addition, data users should take into account the stage of wastewater treatment represented here is the unit process stage in a 'black box' approach. Possible recycling and reuse scenarios of treated water in the locality should also be explored for a comprehensive assessment. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The described process is used for municipal wastewater treatment utilizing Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Technology. This process is applicable for the treatment of sewage to remove contaminants, making the water suitable for discharge or reuse. It is typically used in municipal water treatment facilities. |

| General comment on data set | Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology is an advanced wastewater treatment method that combines bioreactor and membrane separation technologies. In an MBR system, wastewater passes through a bioreactor where microorganisms degrade organic matter into water and carbon dioxide. Then, solid particles and bacteria in the wastewater are separated by microporous or ultrafiltration membranes to produce high-quality water.MBR technology has the advantages of high efficiency, stability, and good water quality, and is widely used in municipal wastewater treatment and industrial wastewater treatment. |

| Technological representativeness | |
| Technology description including background system | Membrane bioreactor technology first brings wastewater into contact with microorganisms in a membrane reactor, where the microorganisms degrade the organic matter and pollutants in the wastewater. Then, the suspended matter and microorganisms in the water are separated from the clean water by membrane separation technology to produce clean water. Finally, the clean water is discharged while the sludge and microorganisms are retained in the reactor for recycling to achieve efficient wastewater treatment. |
