Abstract
To address the existing economic and environmental issues associated with swine wastewater (SW) treatment, a process combining up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) was developed and continuously operated for 137 d. Bioreactor conversion and microbial community dynamics in reactors were analyzed. The UASB–AnMBR process yielded excellent pollutants removal efficiencies of 96% and 63% for chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total phosphorous (TP), respectively. More than 60% of Firmicutes (Terrisporobacter, Turicibacter, and Clostridium sensu stricto 1), which were dominated by Methanosaeta and Methanobacterium with relative abundances of 58.6% and 36.8% in the UASB and 22.5% and 40.3% in the AnMBR, respectively, converted complex compounds into organic acids for methanogenesis. This research presented an analysis of pollutants removal and microbial dynamics of UASB–AnMBR, which significantly affected the large-scale application of UASB–AnMBR process.
