Sumario:The aim of this study was to examine the impact of different Mixed Liquor Volatile Suspended Solids (MLVSS) concentrations on membrane fouling, in a submerged Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) at short and long-term MBR operation for wastewater treatment. Three laboratory-scale in a sub- merged MBR system were operated under critical flux, sub-critical flux, and an intermittent suction time and backwashing conditions. At short- term MBR operation with mixed liquors of 4,200 and 6,150 mg MLVSS L the hydraulic resistance of membranes followed a same trajectory with averages of 5.0E+12 m f membranes followed a same trajectory with averages of 5.0E+12 m The result showed that high biomass concentrations decreased to permeability due to a bio-layer formed in the membrane surface and high Extracellular Polymeric Sub- stance (EPS).
