This research aims to investigate the performance of a pilot-scale anaerobic moving-bed biofilm reactor (AnMBBR) using PVA gels as media for the treatment of real wastewater from a fish canning factory. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiencies at different organic loading rates (OLRs) were investigated at 3.0, 4.3, 6.5, and 8.7 kg COD/m3day by adjusting the flow rates to 350, 500, 750 and 1,000 L/d, respectively. The soluble COD removal efficiencies of the system at flow rates of 350, 500, 750, and 1,000 L/d were 81.0 ± 12.4%, 76.8 ± 8.2%, 74.7 ± 6.2%, and 70.6 ± 12.4%, respectively. According to the residence time distribution (RTD) tests at the highest and lowest flow rates, the mean residence times of both flow rates were significantly higher than the theoretical residence time, indicating very strong external recirculation inside the AnMBBR. The results suggest a 3-pass flow pattern through the AnMBBR. From 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing (MiSeq, Illumina) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, Methanosaeta, acetoclastic methanogens, were the predominant microorganisms in the system. Most of the microorganisms were located within a 1.994 ± 0.266 mm depth from the PVA gel surface, with two distinct layers.
