Depending on the type of industry and the specific application, water must meet certain quality requirements. Therefore, those water quality standards that are required for those most relevant industrial applications wherein the use of reclaimed water has noticeably been reported are herewith reviewed. Although the use of internal water treatments for recycling and reusing their own effluents has recently and widely been reported within many industrial sectors worldwide, the substitution of fresh water by reclaimed municipal wastewater has yet to be extended much. The increasing proportion of municipal wastewater reclamation plants that rely on membrane filtration technologies versus the total number of reclamation facilities that are distributed worldwide is also assessed within this review, including the discussion of their main related drawbacks.engjournal article1542-2127http://www.doi.org/10.1080/15422119.2012.758638open access628.366Membrane filtrationMunicipal wastewater reclamationIndustrial water qualityUltrafiltrationReverse osmosisIngeniería químicaMedio ambiente3303 Ingeniería y Tecnología Químicas2391 Química Ambiental
