The Anaerobic fluidized bed bioreactor (AFBR) treating synthetic wastewater to simulate domestic sewage was operated under GAC fluidization to provide high surface area for biofilm formation. Although the AFBR achieves excellent COD removal efficiency due to biological activities, concerns are still made with nutrient such as nitrogen remaining in treated wastewater. In this study, FO membrane was applied to treat the effluent produced by AFBR. Removal efficiency with total nitrogen (TN) was investigated with draw solution (DS, NaCl) and hydrodynamic condition (i.e., recirculation flow rate) along FO membranes. Permeability of FO membrane increased with increasing DS concentration. About 85% of TN removal efficiency was observed with the FO membrane using 1 M of NaCl DS. During operational period of a day, no permeate flux decline was observed.
