Abstract

Provided is a novel wastewater treatment method. A wastewater treatment method in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a step 1 and a step 2, the step 1 preceding the step 2 and removing a given portion of a suspended solid in wastewater to thereby decrease a concentration of an outflowing suspended solid, the step 2 treating, by a membrane activated sludge method, the wastewater which has been subjected to the step 1. In the method, the concentration of the outflowing suspended solid in the step 1 is changed in accordance with a behavior of a parameter X in a predetermined period (S30a, S30b, S30c, and S30d). The parameter X is associated with properties of wastewater that flows in in the step 1 and/or sludge properties in the step 2.
