    This thesis study aims to develop a hybrid innovative membrane-based process that maximizes circular benefit with the recovery of energy, nutrients, and water from municipal wastewater (MWW). This process was designed to be a sustainable alternative to the widely used advanced biological wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). For this purpose, the wastewater samples from the pre-sedimentation tank effluent of the Kayseri WWTP were used in laboratory-scale membrane-based process applications. In the first stage of the study, pre-concentration studies were performed to concentrate the organic matter and nutrients in the wastewater using the chemically enhanced primary sedimentation+direct ceramic microfiltration (CEPS+DCMF) process. Wastewater concentrated up to 8 times in the CEPS+DCMF process was fed to the anaerobic fluidized bed ceramic membrane bioreactor (AnFCMBR), which is the second stage of the study. The performance of the reverse osmosis (RO) process was evaluated for nutrient recovery performance in permeates of AnFCMBR and CEPS+DCMF processes. Chemical precipitation was performed on RO concentrate samples to recover struvite. With the innovative membrane-based hybrid wastewater treatment process, a net energy recovery potential of 0.126 kWh/m3 was attained by operating the AnFCMBR process at 6 hours hydraulic retention time, while an energy requirement of 0.08 kWh/m3 was attained and thus, an energy-positive process for treating MWW has been developed.
