Dear Colleagues,

Simon Judd is an Emeritus Professor at Cranfield University, where he has worked for 29 years, and spent six years on sabbatical as a Chair in Environmental Engineering at Qatar University. He has been an independent environmental consultant since 2012 as Director of Judd & Judd Ltd., the company which owns the TheMBRSite.com and SludgeProcessing.com websites.

He has spent most of his professional career managing applied research projects, predominantly in membrane technology for water and wastewater treatment and encompassing key topics such as sludge quality, process cost, pre-treatment and post-treatment, resource recovery (including water reuse) and process upset phenomena. He has (co-)authored 215 papers and six book titles, including both editions of ‘The MBR Book’. He has supervised a number of large research projects, including 36 research student programmes, 24 of which at a doctorate level.

This Special Issue is aimed at reflecting on practical studies related to membrane and MBR technology. Studies carried out at or associated with full-scale plant operation are particularly encouraged.
