Carbon cloth enhances treatment of high-strength brewery wastewater in anaerobic dynamic membrane bioreactors.

•Carbon cloth as AnDMBR supporting material enhances brewery wastewater treatment.•High COD removal efficiency (>98%) was achieved in AnDMBR with carbon cloth.•Carbon cloth AnDMBR permits stable operation with 80% higher organic loading.•Species from Methanothrix and Geobacter dominated the microbial community.
