A pilot-scale membrane bioreactor of capacity 100L/day was operated for a period of more than 6 months to determine the biokinetic coefficients of the MBR system under different hydraulic retention time (HRT) and Mixed liquor suspended Solids (MLSS) concentrations. The inlet and outlet from reactor were analyzed for determining parameters like pH, COD, BOD, along with TSS and MPN for outlet. On the basis of MLSS variation experiments were divided into 4 phases. In this paper two phases that is MLSS concentrations 6000-7000 mg/L and 7000- 8000 mg/L are discussed for biochemical parameters. The results showed a COD removal efficiency of 74.64 and 90.69% and BOD removal efficiency of 71.74 and 87.72 % for MLSS 6000-7000 mg/L and MLSS 7000-8000 mg/L respectively. The COD and BOD removal efficiency was found to increase with the increase in the MLSS concentration and HRT. pH, COD, BOD values for outlet water were found in prescribed discharge limits for STPs by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
