Effect of decreasing  hydraulic retention time of anaerobic membrane bioreactor in  reactor performance and the removal of bacterial pathogens
In this study a pilot anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treating low-strength municipal wastewater was operated under different decreasing hydraulic retention times (HRT) (12h, 10h and 8h) and the overall performance of the reactor, bacterial and archaeal community composition and the persistence of bacterial pathogens across the treatment was evaluated.
