A submerged membrane bioreactor was employed to treat high strength leachate generating from a solid waste transfer station. The organic loading rate (OLR) ranged from 2 to 10 kg COD/m3 day. Results show that 97% removal efficiency of COD was achieved at flux of 2.4 LMH. The highest removal of ammonia and total nitrogen was 92.0 ± 1.5% and 88.0 ± 2.0% respectively at flux of 3.8 LMH. Fouling rates were observed to be 0.075; 0.121; 1.386 and 6.374 kPa/day for the fluxes of 1.2; 2.4; 3.8 and 5.1 LMH respectively. Membrane fouled very slowly at low flux operation. The sustainable flux was identified to be less than 2.4 LMH for treating high strength leachate. It reveals less fouling was able to achieve for high strength wastewater by reducing the membrane flux.
