Frequent occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) and red tides in freshwater and seawater poses serious threats to water treatment and drives the application of membrane-based technologies in algal separation. Despite the high removal efficiency of algal cells and their metabolites (e.g. organic matter and toxins) by membranes, the generation of concentrate and waste streams presents a major challenge. In this paper, we review the scenarios under which membrane-based processes are integrated with algal separation, with particular attention given to (i) drinking water production and desalination at low algal concentrations and (ii) cyanobacteria-laden water treatment/desalination. The concentrate and waste streams from backwashing and membrane cleaning in each scenario are characterised with this information facilitating a better understanding of the transport of algal cells and metabolites in membrane processes. Current strategies and gaps in managing concentrate and waste streams are identified with guidance and perspectives for future studies discussed in an Eisenhower framework.
