Highly charged EDTA was investigated as a draw solution in AGB-OsMBR/MD hybrid system.
Low salt accumulation (<1.5 g/L) was observed during a 60-day AGB-OsMBR operation.
AGB integrated with an OsMBR system could reduce membrane fouling of FO membrane.
AGB-OsMBR achieved high nutrient removal (99.94% of NH4-N and 99.73% of PO4-P).
Diluted draw solution could be effectively recovered (100%) by PTFE MD membrane.
