Anaerobic/anoxic/oxic (AAO)-biological aerated filter (BAF) is a two-sludge system with different SRT
which can remove nitrogen and phosphorus simultaneously in the low C/N condition. The startup of a pilot-scaled AAO-BAF system with capacity of 40—100 m3·d-1 used for treating real domestic sewage was studied in this experiment. The AAO and BAF run independently in order to cultivate and acclimate the phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs) and nitrifying bacterial biofilms
respectively. When the TP concentration of AAO effluent and concentration of BAF effluent were found keeping stable
the two parts were combined. With this operation strategy
the effluent concentration of COD

indicating the successful setup of the pilot-scaled process. Comparing with the lab-scale study
the separate running had more advantage in cultivating PAOs. The formation of natural biofilm in BAF was more convenient than the method of inoculated sludge
but needed longer time. According to the analysis of microbial community diversity
the abundance of nitrobacteria was less than 3% in the AAO system
however
it was higher than 12% on the biofilm in BAF. This experiment can provide a reference for practical engineering application of the process.
