The experimental work showed the feasibility of operating membrane bioreactors with complete sludge retention for long timeframes without any loss of treatment performance. Flux sustainability was investigated and a critical TMP value independent of the sludge concentration was observed, above which

Membrane fouling is one of the main factors affecting the diffusion of membrane bioreactors to wastewater treatments. Fouling is generally held to persist above a so-called “critical flux”, below which a steady-state membrane permeability is assumed to be attainable. However, a number of recent stud
