Abstract
Aerobic treatment of refinery wastewater was carried out in a 200 dm^3^ gas–liquid–solid three‐phase flow airlift loop bioreactor, in which a biological membrane replaced the activated sludge. The influences of temperature, pH, gas–liquid ratio and hydraulic residence time on the reductions in chemical oxygen demand (COD) and NH~4~‐N were investigated and discussed. The optimum operation conditions were obtained as temperature of 25–35 °C, pH value of 7.0–8.0, gas–liquid ratio of 50 and hydraulic residence time of 4 h. The radial and axial positions had little influence on the local profiles of COD and NH~4~‐N. Under the optimum operating conditions, the effluent COD and NH~4~‐N were less than 100 mg dm^−3^ and 15 mg dm^−3^ respectively for more than 40 days, satisfying the national primary discharge standard of China (GB 8978‐1996).
