Embodiments of the invention describe an apparatus, method, and system of wastewater treatment using modular membrane bioreactor (MBR) cartridges. In one embodiment, said method of wastewater treatment includes adjusting the number of activated modular MBR cartridges in a container and adjusting the wastewater processing rate of the container to dynamically change the throughput of a fixed-size wastewater processing container. According to one embodiment, said method can include utilizing modular MBR cartridges to provide for a fault-tolerant wastewater treatment container.

1. A system comprising: a computer system communicatively coupled to one or more sensors and a plurality of membrane bioreactor (MBR) cartridges, the plurality of MBR cartridges including a set of activated MBR cartridges and a set of deactivated MBR cartridges, the computer system configured to, at least: detect that an MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become nonoperational; andactivate one or more MBR cartridges of the set of deactivated MBR cartridges such that filtration of wastewater can continue without interruption despite the detection that the MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become nonoperational. 2. The system of claim 1, the computer system further configured to, at least: detect that the MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become operational; anddeactivate an additional MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges based on a determination that the additional MBR cartridge is no longer needed to achieve a predetermined level of filtration of the wastewater. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the detecting that the MBR cartridge has become nonoperational is based on receiving a communication from the one or more sensors indicating that one or more filters of the MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become damaged or worn. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the detecting that the MBR cartridge has become nonoperational is based on receiving a communication from the one or more sensors indicating that one or more membranes have become fouled. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of MBR cartridges is a modular cartridge that combines a bio-reactive treatment process with a membrane separation process for the filtration of the wastewater. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of MBR cartridges are installed into a fixed-size container for processing the wastewater. 7. A method comprising: at a computer system communicatively coupled to one or more sensors and a plurality of membrane bioreactor (MBR) cartridges, the plurality of MBR cartridges including a set of activated MBR cartridges and a set of deactivated MBR cartridges: detecting that an MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become nonoperational; andactivating one or more MBR cartridges of the set of deactivated MBR cartridges such that filtration of wastewater can continue without interruption despite the detection that the MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become nonoperational. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising, at the computer system: detecting that the MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become operational; anddeactivating an additional MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges based on a determination that the additional MBR cartridge is no longer needed to achieve a predetermined level of filtration of the wastewater. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the detecting that the MBR cartridge has become nonoperational is based on receiving a communication from the one or more sensors indicating that one or more filters of the MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become damaged or worn. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the detecting that the MBR cartridge has become nonoperational is based on receiving a communication from the one or more sensors indicating that one or more membranes have become fouled. 11. The method of claim 7, wherein each of the plurality of MBR cartridges is a modular cartridge that combines a bio-reactive treatment process with a membrane separation process for the filtration of the wastewater. 12. The method of claim 7, wherein the MBR cartridges are installed into a fixed-size container for processing the wastewater. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the fixed-size container is a modular container of a set of modular containers comprising a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). 14. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising: detecting that an MBR cartridge of a set of activated MBR cartridges of a plurality of MBR cartridges has become nonoperational; andactivating one or more MBR cartridges of a set of deactivated MBR cartridges of the plurality of MBR cartridges such that filtration of wastewater can continue without interruption despite the detection that the MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become nonoperational. 15. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14, the operations further comprising: detecting that the MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become operational; anddeactivating an additional MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges based on a determination that the additional MBR cartridge is no longer needed to achieve a predetermined level of filtration of the wastewater. 16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the detecting that the MBR cartridge has become nonoperational is based on receiving a communication from one or more sensors indicating that one or more filters of the MBR cartridge of the set of activated MBR cartridges has become damaged or worn. 17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the detecting that the MBR cartridge has become nonoperational is based on receiving a communication from one or more sensors indicating that one or more membranes have become fouled. 18. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein each of the plurality of MBR cartridges is a modular cartridge that combines a bio-reactive treatment process with a membrane separation process for the filtration of the wastewater. 19. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the MBR cartridges are installed into a fixed-size container for processing the wastewater.
