Abstract
Biofouling is a serious and challenging problem in water treatment systems which hinder the efficiency of membrane filtration performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the biofouling propensity and biological treatment performance of a bacterial consortium in a biological membrane bioreactor for the treatment of dye wastewater. During bioreactor operation with the bacterial consortium, a significant relationship was revealed between transmembrane pressure (TMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). When tested for dye and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, SMBR showed increased removal performance with the operating time, possibly owing to the biofilm formation on membrane and the adaptation of sludge. Thus, it is expected that the results of this study will be valuable for further development of a suitable biofouling mitigation strategy for batik wastewater treatment in membrane bioreactor.
