Dear Asher,
Achieving of Results from COD 300ppm to 30 - 100 ppm is normally an easy job which could be achieved by simple Activated sludge Treatment without any other addition. However you are using MBR which is quite expensive in this regards can achieve it easily no need to worry about any other process you mentioned. 50ppm is very easy to achieve.
In addition if you wish to polish extra the treated wastewater, simply have a GAC Filter, which will remove odor and any color and will bring down the COD may be up to 20ppm.
We have successful installations in Pharmaceuticals as well Food & Beverages and got very good good results with Simply Activated Sludge Treatment where the Inlet COD was 400 - 500ppm.
