Membrane technology has been widely applied in a wide spectrum of applications and has served as an important unit operation for both upstream and downstream processes. The membrane research, development and commercialization in Malaysia are experiencing exponential growth as exemplified by Advanced Membrane Technology Research Centre (AMTEC) Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), one of the National Higher Institution Centre of Excellence (HICoE) in the niche of Water Reclamation. This contribution focuses on the overview of the recent progresses of membrane science and technology for desalination and wastewater treatment undertaken at AMTEC, UTM. The innovations and progresses in membrane science and technology made in lab scale which eventually lead to numerous high impact publications as well as the translational research and up–scaling experiences are presented. Several take home messages are summarized based on the past experiences and future perspective of AMTEC.
