Abstract Fracturing flowback wastewater (FFW) contains a variety of complex organic substances with high toxicity, high salinity and poor biodegradability. In this study, a three-stage membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) system was designed for the treatment of FFW. The system showed excellent carbon and nitrogen removal performance under the optimal operating parameters. The effluent from MABR system treated by Fenton reagent met the secondary standard of integrated wastewater discharge. The removal rates of COD, NH⁺₄-N and TN by MABR system were 79.30%, 96.06% and 75.61%, respectively. Microbiological analysis showed that MABR biofilm was enriched with abundant functional flora, in which Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were the dominant flora. This study demonstrated the technical feasibility of MABR treatment of FFW, and laid a foundation for the application of MABR in the treatment of related wastewater.
