Comparison between novel vibrating ceramic MBR and conventional air-sparging MBR for domestic wastewater treatment: Performance, fouling control and energy consumption

•Favourable treatment performance and fouling control were identified in VMBR.•PS and PN concentrations of SMP and EPS in VMBR were lower than ASMBR.•Reduced biopolymer in SMP & EPS in VMBR helped explain better fouling mitigation.•Lower energy consumption and enhanced dewaterability were observ...
