FEASIBILITY STUDY TO UPGRADE A TEXTILE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT BY A HOLLOW FIBRE MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR FOR EFFLUENT REUSE

A pilot scale membrane bioreactor and a full-scale activated sludge wastewater treatment were operated in parallel on the effluent of a textile factory. Performances were determined to assess the potential of reuse in dying textile factory. Experimental results about the influence of COD load, removal efficiency and characterization of the mixed liquor TSS concentration are discussed.
