A laboratory scale anaerobic submerged membrane bioreactor (AnSMBR) was examined for the treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater. 3L reactor was operated under mesophilic conditions (35 0C) during 70 days. COD removal was obtained in the range of 90-95% with an output value of around 250-400 mg/L. More than 98% of output suspended solids were removed. 95% of oil and grease were removed. But because of high removing, membrane fouling increased quickly. After 20 day of operation, trans-membrane pressure showed an increase up to 80 Kpa. Membrane fouling resistances showed of behaviors similar to those values. At the same cases, SEM images were seemed to very dense and values of EDX supported those images. The results showed that the established anaerobic submerged membrane bioreactor system was operated with high efficiency for treated slaughterhouse industry wastewater. More research is needed to overcome of the fouling problem
