The use of a submerged membrane bioreactor for the treatment of industrial oil contaminated wastewater was investigated using microfiltration hollow fibre membranes. The membrane bioreactor worked with a hydrocarbon concentration ranging from 600 to 1500 mg/L in a sub-critical flux regime. The sludg

the number of activation cycles has been properly varied, according to the support characteristics. Defect-free deposits 5- to 15-micron thick, with good anchorage on the ceramic supports have been obtained (see Fig. 1). Permeation tests have been performed in a pilot loop on 10 mm O.D., 14 cm long
