The present investigation was carried out to assess the operation of a pilot-scale submerged membrane bioreactor (SMBR) for the treatment of reactive dye and textile wastewater. The operation of SMBR model was conducted by using a polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fibre membrane with continuous flow mode at different HRTs at 8, 6 and 4 h, for 90 days. During the entire operation, the average permeate flux, TMP, F/M ratio and OLR was found to be 19 (L/m²/h), 2.6 (psi), 0.10 (g BOD/(g MLSS•d) and 0.89 (kg BOD/m³.d), respectively. The variations in the permeate flux, TMP, F/M ratio and OLR have not adversely effects on the operation of the SMBR model. Throughout the entire operation, despite the TP, TDS and conductivity, the high amount of COD (82%), BOD (86%), NO3-N (79%), TSS (98%), turbidity (97%) and colour (79%), removal was achieved. The permeate flux was declined by membrane fouling and it was recovered by chemical cleaning as well as regular backwashing during the entire operation. The results obtained from the study concluded that the hollow fibre ultrafiltration polyethersulfone (PES) membrane shows good performance while treating textile wastewater along with reactive dye solution.
