Performance of dynamic anaerobic membrane bioreactor (DAnMBR) with phase separation in treating high strength food processing wastewater
Food processing wastewater (FPW) contains high levels of oil and grease (O&G), especially from factories that produce fast food such as nuggets, sausages, and burger patties from beef, poultry, and fish. Therefore, the feasibility of replacing conventional membranes for the treatment of FPW with...

Food processing wastewater (FPW) contains high levels of oil and grease (O&G), especially from factories that produce fast food such as nuggets, sausages, and burger patties from beef, poultry, and fish. Therefore, the feasibility of replacing conventional membranes for the treatment of FPW with low-cost dynamic membranes (DM) as an alternative was investigated in this study. An anaerobic DM bioreactor (DAnMBR) was operated for 90 days to evaluate the treatment performance using real FPW under different organic loading rates (OLR) of 3.5, 5.0, 6.5, and 7.0 g COD (chemical oxygen demand)/L day. Once the reactor had reached a steady-state of 90% COD removal, the feed to the reactor was supplemented incrementally with FPW from 10% to 90% as COD to allow the methanogenic bacteria to acclimate any potential inhibitory effects from its recalcitrant content. The bioreactor presented a stable performance at OLR 5.0 g COD/L day with 97.5% removal of COD and reached 20 mg/L total suspended solids (TSS) discharge. A significant correlation between COD fractions removed via acidogenesis and methanogenesis with different OLR was found, indicating that the increase in treatment performance is beneficial to the methanogenic archaea activity.
