Abstract：
:Current microalgal based photobioreactors focus on the secondary treated effluent while limited researches attempted for treating the raw domestic wastewater. This study aimed to assess the microalgal biomass production, removal performance, and fouling characteristics of microalgal membrane bioreactors (MMBRs) for treating synthetic wastewater under different conditions of organic loading rate (OLR) and hydraulic residence time (HRT). The 12h/12 h dark/light cycle continuous experiments were performed for four MMBRs at different OLRs and three MMBRs at different HRTs. Results showed that microalgal biomass production rate (as TSS and chlorophyll-a) decreased with increasing OLR and increased with decreasing of HRT. Regardless of the OLR and HRT conditions, MMBRs can achieve up to 94% organic removal by bacterial oxidation without external aeration. Total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) removals were significantly decreased with increasing OLR. Highest TN removal (68.4%) achieved at the OLR of 0.014 kg/(m3 d) which was reduced to 58.1% at 0.028 kg/(m3 d). Removals of total phosphorous significantly decreased from 48.2% to 37.7% with an increase in OLR from 0.011 to 0.014 kg/(m3 d). TN removal was reduced at shorten HRT (2 d), while, the effect of HRT was found insignificant at higher HRT. An effective removal of P can only be achieved at higher HRTs, i.e., 7 days. OLR up to 0.014 kg/(m3 d) and 2 days HRT was found suitable for maintaining the fouling frequency at an optimal level of 0.016/d. Overall the OLR and HRT need to be carefully selected to achieve optimal efficiency of MMBR. The results of this study provide guidelines for designing the microalgal-based membrane bioreactors for the treatment of domestic wastewater.
