Daniel Puyol wishes to thank the Spanish Ministry of Economy for the Ramón y Cajal grant.Refinery wastewater (RWW) treatment is outdated since new wastewater management and reuse challenges require more environmental-friendly and cheap alternatives. Conventional biological treatments focused on activated sludge are highly energy-intensive and resource-dissipating processes. However, anaerobic treatments are an excellent alternative to reduce costs derived from aeration and carbon footprint. This work proposes a novel strategy for the treatment of RWW involving a photoanaerobic membrane bioreactor (PAnMBR) with a mixed culture of purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB). PPB upcycles the organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus in an assimilative way, leading to a much higher biomass yield and nutrient removal than aerobic cultures. The enriched PPB culture was generated from the RWW as the sole substrate without specific PPB inoculation. The RWW (exempted from sufficient nutrients) was successfully treated with additional ammonium and phosphates provided by domestic wastewater (DWW). Preliminary batch tests determined the best DWW/RWW volumetric mixing ratio at 25:75. The PAnMBR was operated for 144 days under different specific loading rates (SLR) by modifying hydraulic and solid retention times. The maximum specific loading rate (SLR) for the efficient RWW/ DWW mix treatment was 0.3 mgCODinlet/mgCODbiomass⋅d. The COD consumption was mainly mediated by Rhodopseudomonas sp. and Rhodobacter sp. PPB genera. The PPB-based photo-anaerobic membrane reactor was able to comply with regulated parameters for wastewater discharge for the more restrictive use of reclaimed water according to the European legislation in force.Elsevier202320232022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/10115/24509reponame:BURJC-Digital.
