ABSTRACT Anaerobic fluidized membrane bioreactors( AFMBRs) have been substantially developed as apost-treatment process to produce high quality effluent with veritably low energy consumption. The performance of an AFMBR was examined using the effluent from a microbial energy cell( MFC) treating domestic wastewater, as a function of AFMBR hydraulic retention times( HRTs) and organic matter lading rates. The MFC AFMBR achieved 90 ± 3 junking of the chemical oxygen demand( COD), with an effluent of 35 ± 6 mg- COD/ L over 112 days operation. The AFMBR had veritably stable operation, with no significant changes in COD junking edge, for HRTs ranging from1.2 to3.8 h, although the effluent COD attention increased with organic lading. Transmembrane pressure( TMP) was low, and could be maintained below0.12 bars through solids junking. This study proved that the AFMBR could be operated with a short HRT but a low COD lading rate was needed to achieve low effluent COD.
