Va'Pak; Uzhau Chapter 13
It's here because AO3 is down. The musical reference this time is Frozen. We've been in Jim's head a while, but Spock isn't doing as well as he seems.
The Next Right Thing
Tumblr media
The festival of the first of May came faster than Spock expected. Mother had been excited about the event since reading about it in the Kirk Library and confirming with Jim that the tradition was well kept in the style described. It would be the first time Spock observed Jim doing anything religious, at least to his knowledge. Jim kept the fairy house that guarded the well in good order, but only the children had ever caught him at the task of cleaning and restocking it. There didn’t seem to be a set time for him to do so. It was, to Spock’s eyes, an elaborate bird feeder. Complete with a small, sculpted fireplace with glass flames that matched the style of the one in the real house and a working light in the dining room that glowed for an hour after sunset, it was a rough approximation of the farmhouse they lived in. The top floor accommodated larger birds with a small ‘bed’ full of shining seeds while other treats were in and around the furniture in the kitchen, likely for smaller birds who could fit easily around the miniature furnishings. A dish of water dominated the middle floor, surrounded by detailed paintings of what the second-floor bath and the west end of the nursery must have looked like once upon a time. The attic space was the most curious part. Buttons, shiny bits of rock or glass, and other odd things were placed in the small space, and either Jim changed them often or they were being taken by something.
T’Pau had theories about the symbolism and was just as curious about the buttons and things in the attic. Spock saw her reading books about fairies and gnomes in the early mornings before Jim was awake, and carefully examining the gardens that defined the back yard from the fields beyond as if checking for evidence of these creatures. There was a small stone gnome just inside the latticework of the rear porch, and he was unsure if she had spotted it yet since her attention was usually taken by the larger beds of flowers and vegetables and not the neat bushes on either side of the rear porch. Spock had no context for any of it. He’d decided he wouldn’t read those books for some time, so he could discover things for himself. It wasn’t like he had anything else to do with himself other than set up puzzles to solve. The festival promised to be a fourth break in the monotony of his existence on the farm since he was placed on bereavement leave.
The first had been Sybok’s appearance, which the local authorities handled as Sybok assaulting an old woman and Spock stepping up to prevent further violence in a legal way according to local custom. Sybok was reportedly serving a two-month sentence of community service on the East coast of the continent where a Betazoid could oversee strict orders not to use his telepathy on anyone without informed consent. While Spock was not held legally responsible for his actions under human laws, his shameful display of emotion including a blatant vocal demonstration of L'tak Torai wasn’t something he could ignore. Sarek was not pleased, mostly with Sybok for causing it but also with Spock’s loss of control. He hadn’t voiced the jumbled mess that sometimes came to mind instead of proper speech in decades, always able to reorder the words before speaking his mind or to simply remain silent until he could better order his thoughts. He spent many hours meditating with T’Pau in the days following, regaining his center and working through his shame. She had not scolded him, saying only that he punished himself well enough for his actions that she need not say anything more. When he was again at peace, she praised him for regaining his control and he resumed his usual habits.
The second break in the monotony had been the bonding ceremony that brought Rivan and T’Hir formally into their family as T’Pau’s children, followed the next day by their adoption of T’Nira. T’Nira had finally understood that neither Spock nor Jim was in any way ready to parent a teenaged girl and accepted that her skills and interests would make her an excellent apprentice and daughter to the pair. T’Pau said she had planned it that way from the beginning, but the choice to accept her situation had to be T’Nira’s for her own sake.
The third was the arrival of two Vulcan science ships from their last missions on Stardate 105 and 110, coming into orbit laden with additional passengers from several outposts and starbases. The latter half of the Terran month of April was quite busy with T’Pau performing bonding ceremonies almost daily, mostly between adults who were formally adopting the children of their cousins. Spock and Amanda worked together coordinating with the various groups making the pilgrimage to the farm whenever they weren’t busy helping the rest of the family host their guests and provide accommodations, and Sarek worked to get the official databases listing all the remaining Vulcans and their skills up to date to aid with colony planning. The number of M-class worlds being considered for the New Vulcan colony had been reduced considerably, but there was still debate over which would be most suitable. A list showing the current skillset of the Vulcan people would go a long way to what sort of resources need to be prioritized at the initial landing site and hopefully reduce the number of viable options.
The pair of Spock’s fourth cousins who were supposedly related to them through Solkar were delayed indefinitely due to a lack of available staff to replace them, but that meant there was an additional bedroom available to house visitors until their situation was resolved. Sarek wasn’t displeased by the delay. He had found records in the backup archives that implied the break in the family was due to some extreme show of xenophobia by Solkar’s sister and since then none of those living in the farmhouse were quite as excited about growing the clan as they had been. T’Pau reminded them all that they should judge people by their individual actions and not only by their fore-bearers, but she no longer talked as much about the plans for their arrival either.
Spock saw little of Jim during the month, and later found out he’d spent several nights in the city with his surgeon progressing his treatment and having the feeding port removed. Jim then went directly to San Fransisco to handle finalizing his graduation paperwork in person. There was a date set in another week for Jim to defend his thesis, but that could easily be done remotely since two of the committee evaluating him were off world. Other than that, it seemed that Jim was completely finished with all his current coursework and related paperwork well ahead of the semester’s end. Spock suspected he had requested exams in place of the standard coursework but was unsure Jim would want to talk about the Academy with him considering how they met. Most of what Spock knew came from Amanda asking Jim questions after a meal. There were far less charged topics of conversation.
Jim returned to the daily routine of the farmhouse soon after the steady stream of adults trailing small children to adopt stopped coming through the farmhouse. A coincidence Spock wasn’t certain was natural. Two of the children that had been living with them, making up one of the young bonded pairs, were adopted and left the farm. Shortly thereafter, Tivin arrived from the embassy with two more small orphans to refill the nursery. Tivin was a very dark skinned sixteen-year-old orphan, and he was given the bedroom that had been reserved for Spock’s fourth cousins in the belief that they would not arrive before he had moved on. He had been beamed aboard Enterprise with his bondmate, but she had left Earth to stay with her aunt on a space station. The aunt thought it would be improper to adopt Tivin as essentially his bondmate’s cousin given their ages, and worried they would become codependent if left alone together for too long. One of the elders that remained at the San Fransisco embassy agreed that their behavior had become unhealthy before their separation. She wanted him to be adopted by another who would then join their families together when the time came for their union. He hadn’t been doing well before, and obviously had gotten worse since the separation, and the hope was that the farm’s more peaceful atmosphere and greater availability of adult guidance would help him center himself before his outbursts caused any permanent harm to himself or others. During their last horseback ride together, which had become a fairly common activity Spock looked forward to, Jim invited Tivin along.
At first Spock worried that they would have another situation similar to T’Nira on their hands, but from the moment Jim returned to the farm he treated Tivin like he was a full adult. Jim talked about how he had secured a part-time position at the shipyard at fifteen and asked if Tivin had considered employment yet. Then, when Tivin sulked rather than answer promptly, Jim explained the difficulties he faced keeping the job beyond that first summer by taking a shuttle back to Riverside from a specialized engineering high school in Iowa’s capital city and encouraged Tivin to talk about his academic interests throughout. It got Tivin thinking and eventually talking about how to adapt his previous plan for his future - he had wanted to be an architect designing highly artistic buildings - to the new reality they faced. What Jim told the boy was quite true: they would be in dire need of willing builders once a colony world was chosen, and an apprentice position building the new colony could teach him a lot about the practicalities in exchange for his labor that would be useful for an architect to understand. With the amount of competition for such a position a complete unknown, Tivin would have to focus on his goals to be sure he could secure an apprentice position if one was available.
Spock took over the conversation at that point to let Jim’s voice rest, explaining that the primary motivation for T’Nira’s adoption by his cousins was to secure a bond with a highly motivated student interested in their craft and ensure that T’Hira’s specialist knowledge was preserved, although they did cherish her and expected her to be a good elder sister to their infant child as well. There was the slight problem that architects didn’t work in the places that Enterprise had targeted. Unlike the happy accident of pulling the small family of craftsman off the street in front of a school, to Spock’s knowledge no architects had been beamed aboard by their crew. It was possible that the group brought to Delta Vega by Montgomery Scott included one or that one of the outposts had a suitable individual. Even if Tivin wasn’t adopted outright by whatever master accepted him, it would still be a worthwhile working relationship that would bring him some stability and might attract the attention of others looking to adopt an older child into their clan. A rare skill was of great value, after all, and he could study architecture from books while waiting for a teacher to be found.
Jim added that aging out of adoption and into a peer group instead of being taken in by a family wasn’t so bad, which Spock knew to be autobiographical but also very much a human concept, and reminded Tivin that he did already have a family through his bondmate. So long as he did his best and held up his end of things, working toward the goals he set, that was all anyone could or should expect of someone Tivin’s age. When Tivin confessed that he had dropped several levels in his academic performance since the Immeasurable Loss and had experienced embarrassing bouts of uncontrolled emotion, Jim waved it off.
“Everyone grieves differently, but you do have a responsibility to become a functioning member of society again.”
“You are only required to perform as optimally as you are able,” Spock added. ���When you fall short of your own standards, seek improvement until you meet them again. This may take time, but remember that it has taken some elders significant time to reorient themselves as well. You are not the only one struggling.”
“You arrived right before May Day, too, so great timing. Relax and enjoy a festival all about fire and fertility.”
“You mean it is for the fertile fields,” Tivin said cautiously. Jim chuckled carefully, still cautious of re-injuring himself.
“Fields, people, animals… the fertility of all things under the sun and moon. The return of the heat, the last victory of spring over the winter chill, and the bounty of the first harvests. If you aren’t careful you might end up attracting more attention from the local girls than your bondmate would appreciate,” Jim warned. Spock frowned at that but kept his peace for the moment. If Tivin seemed to be repeating one of Spock’s mistakes he would talk to the boy, but for now Jim was only making a slightly off-color joke.
The morning of May first, Stardate 2258.121 by his own calendar, Spock woke earlier than usual and took the opportunity of using the bathing facilities uncontested. Water showers were a rare luxury on Vulcan used in exclusive spas, by prescription, and during rituals after certain life events like the birth of a child. Here in Riverside, they did have the option of a generously sized bathtub and all of the smaller children would usually bathe in it using a bowl to wet their hair as was more traditional. However, Spock, Rivan, and T’Hir had decided to indulge in the feel of rain more often than not. The sensual feel of the water impacting his bare skin was deeply soothing and made meditation easier.
They didn’t even have to feel guilty for the evaporation of so much water because there was a vent to gather the steam. Spock had been hesitant to use as much hot water as he liked at first, but Rivan had noticed that the HVAC system diagram Jim kept in with the home repair tools had a condensed water handing line and the specifications said that the system added to or pulled excess humidity out of the air to a set range. From there the reclaimed water vapor was sent to the gray water system. That system’s diagram showed that after some treatment the water was naturally returned to soil through a drainage field under the back garden, and therefore eventually percolated down to the aquifer that fed the well or up into the roots of the garden’s fruit, flower, and vegetable beds. It was the sort of water recycling he’d only expect to see in the closed system of a starship, but the area was considered arid farmland by Terran standards. While not as lossless as a similar Vulcan-designed system one might find at the spas and bathhouses of his home planet, it was good enough for Spock to feel comfortable putting the temperature up to it’s highest setting while he bathed.
Vulcans were circadian heterotherms, after all, and there was only so much space on the hearth rug or in the meditation room. If Spock could satisfy some of his need to bask in heat while bathing, then he wouldn’t need to do it later in the day. Normally he would increase the heat in his room while meditating, but the farmhouse bedrooms were not sufficiently insulated for that practice. As far as his body’s internal functions were concerned, he’d been operating on a nightshift schedule while in Starfleet, working in the comparatively cold conditions of a starship or regulation classroom and then resting in the heat of his private quarters. It was not so different than the hunters of old, who would move stealthily through the colder night air and then sleep through the midday heat after delivering the spoils of their labors to their clan. Given his age and physical fitness, one might even say that being active during the heat of the day was less natural for him. It had certainly taken a bit of effort to sleep during the endothermic part of his daily cycle, but he adjusted quickly enough to the cool nights.
He could go without basking, but like a plant moved from its preferred sunny windowsill to a shaded table it would have increasingly negative effects over time. Babies and the elderly needed more time in the heat than healthy adults in their prime, which was why T’Hir and Rivan’s infant was almost always bundled up or skin-to-skin with one of them. While Spock had not noticed the decline due to his own troubles before they arrived at the farm, he did notice that the long hours T’Pau spent in front of the fireplace had caused visible improvement. Her desire to let Sarek attend most of the in-person political meetings, likely in relatively cold rooms designed to accommodate both Vulcans and Andorians in a neutral temperature that neither found completely comfortable, seemed not to have much to do with her grieving and everything to do with her physical needs as an elder. She was still a fierce negotiator and used the terminal in the library room for her official negotiations before moving back to the fireside to bask in the heat of the flames.
Spock hoped that among the crafts on display today he could find something warm for her. Jim had mentioned a sheep farm that produced a wide range of wool products and often offered the things left over from the previous year’s work at the May Day festival for whoever had need of them. After he discovered the old ones had become infested with moths during long-term storage, Jim had given them one of his luxury credits in exchange for a fresh set of wool blankets just before Spock’s clan arrived. They were simple rectangles in bright solid colors with a smooth cotton backing to the quilted blankets, likely made quickly with a simple diamond pattern stitching the two layers together. The elaborately embroidered garments T’Pau was rescued in were too precious and not warm enough for everyday wear in this climate, and while they had all been given some warmer clothing, she seemed to have underestimated the natural chill of San Fransisco’s damp air when she made her selections from what was offered. It would be rude to pry by asking if she was warm enough, and unnecessary as well when he knew she could use a robe or shawl.
When he came downstairs the fireplace was cold, and he went about clearing away yesterday’s ash and preparing today’s fire. The fuel was neither some type of plant oil or wax, nor simple split logs and branches as Spock would expect. The blocks of plant matter were a product of local industry. They were primarily waste agricultural fiber from food production and processing such as nut shells, sawdust, used distillery grain, and so on mixed with wax to produce uniform flammable blocks that were extruded into a roughly log-shaped form. The resulting flames were steady and warmer than natural wood fires, though not as hot as some of the oil-fed braziers that heated many communal meditation rooms. Jim said that the flame was clean enough to cook over, but everyone agreed the induction stove, oven, and synthesizer in the kitchen were the preferable appliances. He had clearly had some specific treat in mind, but backpedaled suddenly. Whatever it was, it must have been some human tradition because Mother suddenly popped up from her seat and rushed to cover for the half-suggestion with a hasty distraction. Spock suspected his father knew what it was, the shrewd way he observed his wife was telling, but Sarek remained silent on the matter.
By the time Spock was finished basking in the flames, Rivan had come down with his babe in his robe. The child was awake and vocalizing quietly in a content stream of babble that would one day become speech. Her simple thoughts were projecting out of sync with the noises in a hazy broadcast of undisciplined joy, curiosity, and security. It was no big mystery to Spock why those few beamed aboard with the tiniest children had the fastest recovery times from the panic and trauma of the Immeasurable Loss. An infant’s needs were easy to satisfy, the parent instinctively focused on them, and the concept that everything will be fine so long as one’s base needs are taken care of was quite valuable in a crisis.
This wasn’t to say that it was easy to be the parent of an infant or toddler at this time. T’Hir and Rivan couldn’t bring the child home when she was scared and everything smelled wrong, only assure the child that she was safe where she was through telepathy. They could not provide favorite toys that were now lost, only replacements that weren’t quite right. When the child wanted an aunt or cousin who was now dead, they could only offer the new family they now had.
Spock wasn’t a great replacement for their lost family. He was deeply uncomfortable around the infant and had no interest in parenting the children. He helped where he felt he could, supervising lessons and chores so Rivan and T’Hira could have time for themselves or amusing himself quietly on the porch while the children explored and played in the gardens, but he simply was not comfortable in a parental role. Many of them spoke to or about him using word and suffix choices for an older sibling or peer rather than an uncle or elder neighbor, and while that bothered Sarek as improper address it didn’t bother Spock at all. He was far more comfortable with the more nebulous position despite the apparent disrespect. He certainly didn’t want any of them thinking there was a chance he would adopt them. He was more certain than ever that he simply did not want children, at least during the early stage of his life. He had at least a century to change his mind, after all.
Rivan let his infant down onto the warm hearth rug. The obvious fragility of her tiny body still startled Spock whenever she was taken out of her swaddle for exercise. Human children were much rounder, at least as far as Spock had seen, every part of them chubby and padded. Vulcan children had chubby faces and their torsos did have a large store of fat, but their limbs were leaner and longer in proportion to their bodies. Much closer to an adult Vulcan than a human infant was to an adult human, and to his eyes all the more fragile. The little one wriggled about. She was strong enough to roll and put her hands down to lift her head to look around, but her legs kicked ineffectually as she scooted forward to touch Spock’s knee.
The infant thought of a sehlat, and sand, and red rock. Spock responded with the farmhouse’s back garden and horses. It was a simple conversation, still accompanied by the babble, but not unpleasant. When she started to request to be picked up, Spock directed her back to Rivan. Her tiny little fingers looked as fragile as blown glass to him. While Spock was capable of handling delicate objects with care, the scientific instruments he worked with were not in the habit of wiggling about unexpectedly. She didn’t understand why he was worried about dropping her because only small hands weren’t strong enough to pick her up and he had big hands.
“It is my turn to begin breakfast,” Spock said to Rivan. The older man nodded and caught his daughter’s attention with a stuffed toy.
Spock was by now quite familiar with the kitchen. Mother set it up very similar to his childhood home, which made it both familiar and occasionally uncomfortable. They had made jelly out of some of the fresh seasonal fruits, mixing in supplements so that the Terran food would provide for Vulcan needs. Mother had kept a garden of Terran vegetables to supplement her diet, and Spock had needed to take care to ensure his own nutritional needs were met after he left Vulcan. So many Terran foods tasted as if they were high value foods but were actually lacking in what a Vulcan body would need. It was primarily Mother’s tomatoes that provided her vitamins that were somewhat lacking in Vulcan food, while Spock had imported plomeeks while living on Earth for the same reason.
When he packed up his apartment Spock brought all that he had, which admittedly wasn’t much. There was a small copper pot that would infuse acidic foods with a nice amount of copper to supplement his diet in the same way that humans benefited from iron cookware, which now saw daily use. Jars of spices and vacuum-sealed packages of Starfleet standard pre- portioned meals that only required him to load the synthesizer and select the appropriate program, which had been opened and analyzed so that they could be recreated in an appropriate size for all the residents of the farmhouse. A formal tea set made of Vulcan’s red clay that had mostly sat on a shelf while he got standard white mugs of tea from the synthesizer, now used in series alongside Kirk’s rounder and more floral set. T’Pau refused to use the cups made with bone ash, but the rest of them would use the teaset through the day and leave the terracotta cups for observances and dinner to save on the need to run the dish sanitizer so often. T’Pau simply used the glasses to sip water during the day, cutting down on the number of hot beverages she drank, which likely contributed to the chill that Spock observed plaguing her. Spock, Amanda, and Jim were the only ones who used the simpler mugs; Jim couldn’t identify what sort of material the cheap mugs were made of beyond saying they were ceramic and so the assumption was that they weren’t fit to use. There wasn’t actually much flatware to go around in the first place, one of the few supplies nobody had thought of before they moved in. Spock had explained to Rivan that bone china was the more expensive material, and that simple clay was of lesser quality by human standards, but while he understood the physical properties of the materials Rivan remained skeptical that the mugs were the inferior option when Jim had asked that one of them be reserved as his favorite mug. His wife wouldn’t even listen to an explanation for why humans ate off reformed animal bones long enough to understand the topic. None of the plates from the farmhouse’s formal dining set were used by anyone, if only because they had enough plates that their use was unnecessary.
T’Pring would have packed all the bone china and put it away somewhere so nobody could use it. She wouldn’t stand for its use even just in her presence, though T’Pau would likely have been able to talk her into some practical compromise. She had always been a perfectionist when it came to the organization and appointment of any living space, reorganizing something about Spock’s assigned room on a space station or ship when she visited and criticizing the quality of many standard-issue items. So much of the farmhouse was clearly not Vulcan that she would hate it here. The walls of the room he currently slept in would disgust her, the walls coated in the color of blood dripped into dust.
Spock shook himself. Focusing on these mundane, small things was the best he could do. Remain in the moment, paying attention to the task at hand and his surroundings. He didn’t mind the room, the green matched the grain growing in the fields outside and it was small enough that there wasn’t any excess space. He’d placed his possessions in such a way that there were no gaps to imply anything was missing. His lirpa was secured above the dresser near the door and his lyre was hung above his bed where a wreath had been, the dusty decoration packed away in the attic storage.
He hadn’t played. Mother was worried about him because he hadn’t played, but despite his boredom he just never found the time and motivation. Father mentioned it yesterday. Today was a major festival and they would be busy the entire day, but perhaps he’d play tomorrow.
Spock was functioning. He crushed nuts in a bowl and set the jam out on the table. The porridge was a Terran grain ground down into what Jim called ‘cream of wheat’ and prepared with butter and nutmeg. A couple yellow bananas, for the Humans’ nutritional needs, and some bright blue shredded knik root, for the Vulcans’ nutritional needs, rounded out the toppings. T’Hira set out juice, Sarek made tea, and before long they were all gathered around the table. Spock was functioning. How optimally was impossible to measure, as his focus waxed and waned, but he was functioning. As they told Tivin, they all have a responsibility to become functioning members of society again, and Spock was functioning as optimally as he was able.

Shower Power: Revisiting Junya Watanabe’s Rain-Soaked Spring 2000 Collection
BY LAIRD BORRELLI-PERSSON
April 1, 2021
Tumblr media
In today’s uncertain climate, many designers are thinking about functionality when creating garments and using technical materials to achieve it. But it was over 20 years ago that the industry started paying attention to these “magic” fabrics that spoke of the future.
Junya Watanabe was one of the designers that pioneered their use. To mimic the effect of the cellophane gel used in lighting, he developed a polyurethane-laminated nylon tricot for his fall 1995 Mutants collection, and his famous, hand-sewn honeycomb ruffs for fall 2000 were made using nylon organza. Manus et machina in action.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In his spring 2000 collection, titled Function and Practicality, Watanabe made truly dramatic use of a water repellent fabric, created by the Japanese mill Toray. To demonstrate the fabric’s utility, models walked under a cascade of water to the strains of The Carpenters’ 1971 hit “Rainy Days and Mondays.” They wore headscarves and pretty shift dresses in an early 1960s cookie-cutter vein, a number of which were reversible. This was fashion with function, which has long been Watanabe’s way. “Sometimes I feel a little ridiculous putting so much thinking into a dress that looks that simple,” Watanabe told Vogue when talking about an earlier lineup, a sentiment that applies here as well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The dresses were colorful and girlish, featuring ruffles and polka dots and florals. “His waterproofs are fanciful, feminine, and metamorphic: a Lilly Pulitzer-esque shift that, if unzipped and unpeeled and rezipped, mutates from one dress to another; a shawl that drops to become the ruffled skirt of a flirty dress,” wrote Sally Singer in Vogue at the time. “Every season, Watanabe takes on an unlikely challenge and overcomes it with humor and a resilient devotion to conservative notions of elegance.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The collection was received with delight, and it’s been reported that the reclusive designer had to take two bows. Outlander star Caitriona Balfe, who opened the show, remembers it clearly. “Walking through the rain effect during the show was magical... you could feel the water drops bounce off the fabric, but other than feeling it on our arms we remained completely dry. There was a palpable buzz coming off the audience and I remember feeling so proud to have been part of something so unique and special.”
Now you can join in the fun as we’ve added newly digitized images of the show to the Vogue Runway archive.

Bless ToRays’ Arc 3 OP for including a reference to Edna’s girls only tea parties and what Guy does in them.
For reference, Guy serves as their waiter and plaything (which I surmise to mean they’re free to pick on him). Edna’s tea parties have been around since Arc 1 and have been referenced in various events and skits. Though labeled as “girls only”, people like Jade have been known to participate as well.
In any case, it seems that the tea party is working out for Guy! He didn’t run a mile when Edna poked him suddenly, nor did he drop his sandwich. Quite some impressive progress there in reducing his phobia’s debilitating effects, and was really nice to see in the opening.

TMR: Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Market to Reach $6.64 Billion by 2030
Tumblr media
Global Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Market is accounted for $3.33 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $6.64 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.0% during the forecast period. Scarcity of clean water, stringent environmental regulations, and increasing adoption of environment-friendly water management technologies in the sewage and industrial sector are driving the market growth. However, the high capital and operational cost of MBR than that of conventional methods is hampering the growth of the market. The membrane bioreactor is one of the high-efficient wastewater treatment technologies as it uses a microbial process. It separates the effluent from wastewater via a filtration membrane. Moreover, membrane bioreactor is a high-speed process and also offers better environmental sustainability. It is primarily used for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. It is an integration of a perm-selective or semi-permeable membrane process, such as microfiltration (MF) or ultrafiltration (UF), with a suspended growth bioreactor. Based on the membrane type, the hollow fiber segment is going to have lucrative growth during the forecast period due to the high usage in the large scale installations of the municipal sector as they offer high productivity per unit volume and high packaging density, and also low maintenance and operational cost as compared to a multi-tubular and flat sheet. By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have high growth during the forecast period owing to the high demand for MBRs in developing economies such as China and India, increasing level of water stress, rising population, and growing end-use industries that led to innovation and development.
