Abstract:In order to control the adverse effect of the harmful gas produced by sewer systems on pipeline facilities and the surrounding environment, a reactor system with stirring was built to simulate the actual sewer systems and explore the control effect of pulse ventilation on the harmful gas in the sewer systems and the influence of biological community change. The results show that pulse ventilation could effectively control the production of harmful gases. At the water flow speed of 0.2?m·s?1, the best inhibitory effects occurred for hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methane (CH4) and carbon monoxide (CO) and their inhibitory rates were 98.7%, 44.4% and 92.5%, respectively. Under the action of pulse ventilation, the biodiversity of archaea community decreased continuously, while that of bacterial community increased continuously. At the same time, the structure of biological community also changed through pulse ventilation, which was consistent with the change of gas phase parameters. Key words:harmful gases/ pulse ventilation/ flow velocity/ biological communities.
