Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of cross-flow microfiltration technique to treat urban wastewater effluents. Experimental results demonstrated that this technique is reliable and very effective in removing wastewater impurities. Results showed that hollow fiber membranes achieved a significant removal rate of all parameters tested except ammonium nitrogen. This study confirmed that cross-flow microfiltration process is very efficient concerning the abatement of suspended solids and organic matter. All pathogenic bacteria indicators were removed by this process. The experimental study demonstrated that quality of permeate produced by hollow fiber microfiltration membranes is suitable for industrial reuse.
