A laboratory-scale submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactor (SAnMBR) treating thermomechanical pulping whitewater was operated for over 7 months to investigate and compare the characteristics of cake sludge and bulk sludge during stable state operation period. Serial analysis showed that cake sludge had a smaller particle size distribution (PSD), much higher specific filtration resistance (1.34×10(14) m/kg), 1.5 times higher bound EPS and significantly different microbial community as compared with bulk sludge. Further analysis indicated that small flocs, bound EPS and inorganic materials play important role in cake formation process. The formed cake layer was found to have a heterogeneous structure. The results obtained in this study indicated that cake formation process started from attachment of small flocs and/or specific bacterial clusters which colonize the surface of the membrane and provide enhanced conditions that allow for cake formation to progress.
