This work focus to alleviate the fouling in Membrane bioreactor (MBR) by integrating electrooxidation, adsorptive cake, bio-film carriers and ozonation referred as Integrated Moving Bed Bioreactor (IMBBR). The total organic carbon (TOC), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) removal were observed as above 95%, 95% and 70% at 300?kPa with the flux increase in 35%. The numerical model was developed which proved less fouling which was in agreement with Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy (LCMS). This study showed less energy consumption without the problem of filamentous bulking.
