N2 - The performance of a Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System (DWTS) comprising an Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (ABR) and an Anaerobic Filter (AF) and Membrane Filtration (MF) module was studied for domestic wastewater treatment. The efficiency of the system was evaluated by running ABR at four different HRTs (14, 12, 10, and 8 h) resulting in COD removal efficiencies of 74, 72, 69, and 65%, respectively. The performance of AF using four different filtration media, i.e., PVC pipe (25 mm), PVC pipe (20 mm), PVC pipe (15 mm), and Kaldnes K3, was determined at optimized HRT (12 h). Among all the filtration media tested, the highest performance efficiency of the system was found with the PVC pipe (20 mm), which showed COD, TP, and TKN removal of 79, 32, and 63%, respectively. The efficacy of the system was proven via significant COD and turbidity removal of 94.6 and 87.2%, respectively, by the combined system.
