AB This thesis is framed in the field of industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. Increasingly strictlegislations lead to the need of developing compact and efficient systems for the removal of both organicmatter and nutrients. Membrane technology has expanded at a remarkable rate over the pass twentyyears, and nowadays enhances a multi-billion dollar industry.The present work has been focused on the treatment of both urban and industrial wastewaters withdifferent aerobic and anaerobic technologies, all of them combined with submerged membranes. Thus,tertiary membrane filtration of secondary effluents from two sequencial batch reactors with flocculent andgranular biomass were firstly studied. Then, the operation of a combined system integrated by ananaerobic UASB reactor with an aerobic membrane bioreactor (MBR) and the feasibility of denitrificationwith the dissolved methane present in the effluent of the UASB were studied. Finally, the operation of ananaerobic MBR treating industrial wastewater was assessed. Especial attention was paid to the study ofmembrane fouling in all the operating systems.
