ABSTRACT
PTFE hollow fiber anaerobic membrane bio-reactor (AnMBR) performance was investigated in the treatment of organic wastewater, with varying salinity and PTFE membrane cleaning behavior. The AnMBR was operated for 226â¯days, with a total and biological COD removal efficiency of 97.2% and 89.9% respectively, at a NaCl concentration of 35â¯gâ¯L-1. A high number of Proteobacteria (38.2%) and Bacteroidetes (25.9%) were present in the system, with an increase in membrane fouling rate from 1.88â¯×â¯1011 to 2.63â¯×â¯1011â¯m-1â¯d-1 with higher salinity. The effects of soluble microbial products (SMP), extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), low molecular-weight (LMW) carbohydrates, sludge particle size and inorganic element accumulation, were evaluated on membrane fouling. Flux recovery of fouled PTFE membranes reached 91.6% with offline cleaning. Overall, results indicate that PTFE hollow fiber AnMBR provides a promising method for the treatment of saline organic wastewater.
