AB  - In the present study, self-forming dynamic membrane (SFDM) on rigid high-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE) mesh with a large pore size of 2 mm is reported for the first 
      time. The system was investigated for utilisation in simulated wastewater 
      treatment by integrating the mesh with an aerobic bioreactor. The SFDM was 
      analysed using Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy and visualised by 
      scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of the operating parameter on the 
      change in composition of SFDM was also investigated. The system was used as a 
      single unit for treatment of wastewater and showed stability over long-term 
      treatment. The system could achieve a chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction of 
      82.16 +/- 6.47% at an influent COD concentration of 613.93 +/- 72.13 mg/l and ammonia 
      removal efficiency of 97.21 +/- 0.62% at an influent ammonia concentration of 
      55.54 +/- 2.23 mg/l. The reactor generated high-quality effluent and the turbidity 
      recorded was less than 2NTU. In addition, the operational parameters, namely 
      hydraulic retention time and organic loading rate, were optimised.
