The current study focused on the performance of a lab scale side stream anaerobic fertilizer drawn forward osmosis (An-FDFO) setup and optimization of nutrient rich solution to achieve sustainable water reuse from high strength synthetic textile wastewater. Three fertilizer draw solutes including Mono Ammonium Phosphate (MAP), Ammonium Sulphate (SOA) and Mono Potassium Phosphate (MKP) were blended in six different ratios with total molar concentration not exceeding 1 M. Among six blended draw solutions (DS), combination with high concentration of SOA have shown highest flux and combination with high concentration of MKP have shown highest reverse solute flux, while those with high concentration of MAP remain moderate both in flux and RSF. During long term runs, SOA: MKP (0.75: 0.25 M) showed longest filtration duration of 217 h in Run 1, with highest initial flux of 8.29 LMH and minimum dilution factor to achieve final nutrients concentration fit for direct fertigation, followed by Run 3 MAP: SOA: MKP (0.2: 0.6: 0.2 M) and then Run 2 MAP: MKP (0.75: 0.25). Moreover, deterioration of mixed liquor characteristics occurs in membrane tank due to high RSF. Similarly, the same inhibitory effect of reverse salt on biogas production was also assessed through Bio-Methane Potential experiments. However, Anaerobic Continuous Stirring Tank Reactor exhibited high performance efficacy, highlighting the importance of side stream submerged configuration in forward osmosis (FO) process.
