	abstract = "The performance of an aerobic membrane-coupled bioreactor (MBR) operating at mesophilic- thermophilic transitional temperatures (40&#176;C) treating oily rendering wastewater has been evaluated in terms of COD, BOD<SUB>5</SUB>, oil and grease, solids and ammonia removal at 5 and 10-day HRT. The COD removal efficiency increased from 78&#37; to 96&#37;, BOD<SUB>5</SUB> removal from 87 to 99&#37; and oil and grease removal from 92 to 95&#37; with the increase in hydraulic retention time (HRT) from 5 to 10 days. The operation at atypically high temperatures showed promise as a treatment solution due to the low sludge yields of 0.03 g VSS/g COD.",
