Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology enhances biomass retention with less residual sludge which is desirable for the treatment of strong wastewater such as landfill leachate. The technology has evolved to encompass anaerobic MBRs (AnMBRs) due to the benefit of producing renewable energy in the form of methane biogas and reducing the cost of aeration and sludge handling. This paper presents a critical review on the progress and application of the AnMBR technology for the treatment of landfill leachate in particular. We evaluate its performance and elaborate on potential operational limitations with emphasis on fouling and inhibitory factors that may suppress the development of microbial communities in AnMBR systems. We conclude by highlighting existing gaps and future directions and proposing a framework with a comprehensive experimental program towards improving the application of the AnMBR technology.
