As a promising technology, the combination of nitrate/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) with Anammox offers a solution to achieve effective and sustainable wastewater treatment. However, this sustainable process faces challenges to accumulate sufficient biomass for reaching practical nitrogen removal performance. This study developed an innovative membrane aerated moving bed biofilm reactor (MAMBBR), which supported sufficient methane supply and excellent biofilm attachment, for cultivating biofilms coupling n-DAMO with Anammox. Biofilms were developed rapidly on the polyurethane foam with the supply of ammonium and nitrate, achieving the bioreactor performance of 275 g N m-3 d-1 within 102 days. After the preservation at -20 °C for 8 months, the biofilm was successfully reactivated and achieved 315 g N m-3 d-1 after 188 days. After reactivation, MAMBBR was applied to treat synthetic sidestream wastewater. Up to 99.9% of total nitrogen was removed with the bioreactor performance of 4.0 kg N m-3 d-1. Microbial community analysis and mass balance calculation demonstrated that n-DAMO microorganisms and Anammox bacteria collectively contributed to nitrogen removal in MAMBBR. The MAMBBR developed in this study provides an ideal system of integrating n-DAMO with Anammox for sustainable wastewater treatment.
