Abstract

In membrane bioreactors (MBRs), improving ambient conditions and biomass properties is a practical alternative method to minimize membrane fouling and increase process efficiency (Drews et al., 2007). A possible and promising approach for reaching such purposes is the use of hybrid growth MBR (HG-MBR) which combines the suspended- and attached- growth processes (Lee et al., 2006; Sombatsompop et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2006; Leiknes and Ødegaard, 2007; Huang et al., 2008; Ivanovic and Leiknes, 2008).
