Comparison between moving bed-membrane bioreactor (MB-MBR) and membrane bioreactor (MBR) systems: Influence of wastewater salinity variation

•MBR and MB-MBR pilot plants under gradual salinity increase were compared.•Respirometry showed that the biomass activity was not significantly affected by the salinity.•Membrane fouling was mainly due to irreversible cake deposition.•Biofilm detachment phenomena affected the irreversible cake depos...
