Water scarcity is one of the world's most promising challenges, with millions of people lacking access to safe drinking water. Untreated wastewater is commonly used in agriculture in various countries, which causes many disorders to the human being as well as environmental. Instead of using untreated wastewater, it has been discovered that using treated wastewater is a more practical and environmentally friendly approach. The traditional activated sludge process (ASP) is the most common and oldest bio treatment technology used to treat municipal and industrial wastewater. The membrane bioreactor (MBR) has evolved into a small and efficient wastewater treatment technology for municipal and industrial uses. Domestic wastewater with an organic loading rate (OLR) of 0.795 kg COD/m3.d was applied to a laboratory membrane bioreactor. The pH of the feed was maintained between 6.1 and 7.8 in the reactor. The entire start-up period took 21 days, with a HRT of 24 hours to achieve the steady state. After the acclimatization the reactor was run with the various influent COD concentration of Institutional wastewater such as 750.66 mg/l and 784 mg/l with the operating parameters of HRT and OLR. The results showed that the maximum COD removal efficiency 90.10% was attained at a HRT of 1.025 days with an OLR of 0.7879 kg COD/m3.d.
