A laboratory-scale anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) was used for the co-digestion of sewage sludge and food waste to investigate its organic matter removal characteristics, biogas production performance, and microbial community composition. The results showed that the degradation rate of volatile solids (VS) increased from 17.5% for a single digestion to 40% for the total digestion, and that the COD removal was 95.

Membrane fouling is the biggest challenge of membrane bioreactor industrialization. In this study, a bio-electrochemical system (BES)-anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) system was constructed, and the effect of nano-zero-valent iron (nZVI) on membrane anti-fouling ability and methane production was investigated. The results showed that the BES-AnMBR system was stable and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate was maintained at approximately 95%.
